The Crissman Connection
December 8, 2017
Hello December...
Happy Friday Crissman Families,
Wow! What a busy and exciting week for our Crissman Cougars! The students had so much fun shopping for their family and friends! I hope all of the gifts made it home safe. I want to thank all the volunteers and PTA for a fabulous Holiday Shop! This is such a wonderful memory for our students and we couldn't have done it without all of your help! Thank you Crissman volunteers...you are awesome!
I want to thank all the parents that have logged into their PowerSchool portals. PowerSchool is a great tool to view grades, attendance, and lunch account information.
Another great resources is our app. The Utica Community schools app is available for android and iPhone devices. My favorite feature is the notifications. Once you download the app, be sure to go to the toolbox and select Crissman. This way you will receive all the notifications I send out. Notifications come through like texts on your phone. Every Friday when I send out this email, I also send out a notification to check your email. It's a nice little reminder for busy families.
The holiday season is quickly approaching, if your family is in need of assistance, please call me at (586)797-4300.
Yours Truly,
Mrs. Papastamatis

Late Bus Inforamtion
As mentioned in the above statement about notifications...eventually, I would love to be able to send out a quick notification on everyone's phone letting them know a bus will be late. This would be the fastest way to communicate with all of you. :)
