Crusader Chronicle
September 2022
Dear Crusader Families,
The students looked so nice in their Picture Day outfits today! If your child missed today, there will be a School Picture Retake Day on Wednesday, October 26.
Today, the students will be bringing home the 2022-2023 Family Directory. There will be one directory per family.
Thank you to all the parents who took time to complete the Accreditation Parent Survey. Your thoughts were truly appreciated!
Just a friendly reminder, tonight is the New Family + Mentor Gathering. It will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the School Cafeteria. We look forward to seeing you tonight!
If there are any questions related to any of the information listed below, please let me know.
Gratefully,
Sarah Bitzer
Principal
