GREETINGS FROM PRINCIPAL FERGUSON!
I hope this letter finds you all healthy and safe as we enjoy this beautiful fall weather. I would like to remind all families about our schedule this week. We have Parent Teacher Conferences on Wednesday and Thursday, so there are some changes to the student instruction time on those days.
Our teachers are excited to have an opportunity to share progress towards your child’s learning goals at our upcoming Virtual Fall Conferences.
If you still have not signed up for a conference time, please contact the Crosby School office at 815-943-6125, and schedule your conference time.
Wednesday, October 7 - Student instruction from 9:00 am -1:00 pm
Early Dismissal @ 1:00 pm
Conferences are from 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm VIA ZOOM
Thursday, October 8 - NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS
Conferences are from 8:00 am - 6:30 pm VIA ZOOM
Friday, October 9 - NO SCHOOL
Day of Non Attendance
Monday, October 12 - NO SCHOOL
Columbus Day
Our Fall Conferences will be held virtually, not at Crosby Elementary School. These conferences will be conducted via Zoom meetings.
To make sure these conferences run as smoothly as possible, here are some helpful hints:
Make sure that Zoom is installed on the device you will be using for Parent/Teacher conferences. You can use your student’s chrome book.
Once teachers have sent you your exact conference time, please write down your appointment/meeting time in a calendar.
Teachers will keep parents/guardians in a Zoom waiting room until it is time for their individual conference.
Conferences for teachers will be scheduled back to back for teachers, therefore it is extremely important that guests “arrive” to the Zoom conference on time.
Our teachers look forward to seeing all of you at these conferences. And, please note, if you ever have any concerns about how well your student is doing at school, do not hesitate to call the teacher. We are always happy to communicate with parents or guardians.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kathleen Ferguson
