Happy 4 day weekend Craddock families!

We had an exciting week at Craddock celebrating "No Name-Calling Spirit Week." The staff and students fully embraced the theme each day and looked amazing! I think my favorite was crazy hair/mismatched day. Our Craddock crew is so creative! Check out some pics below that captured the awesomeness!

I have included some information this week about our narrative reporting system, Gather. Craddock runs on trimesters versus quarters and does not utilize a traditional report card. We are very lucky to have the opportunity to share our student's growth in a narrative format. You will find how helpful it is in truly understanding where your child is and how he/she is growing and developing. Please read the letter below and let us know if you need help accessing your child's Gather portal. Our first set of Gather narratives go live December 2nd.

As a reminder, on Monday, 10/17, the Aurora staff will be learning and growing in a Professional Development Day, while our students will be enjoying an extended weekend. We are excited to welcome the kids back on Tuesday, 10/18.

Have a fantastic rest of the weekend! I am not even going to write "Go Browns" this week. It hasn't been very effective. For now, Go Guardians!!!

Take care,

Students can be dropped off at 8:40 a.m. at the earliest! Please do not allow them to exit your car until that time, as there is no staff to monitor them. Pick up will begin promptly at 3:10 each day. If everyone knows the system and cooperates, we will have all students in cars in 15-20 minutes.

Here are some things I need all car rider families to do, which will help immensely.

• Please do not use Willard to line up for drop off or pick up. We are working with the police to get it blocked off, but in the meantime, please avoid it. Enter Hurd Road off of New Hudson and begin lining up there. Please see the map below for guidance.
• Parents are not permitted to get out of their car when dropping off or picking up their child(ren). It is one of the main reasons the flow of traffic slows down. If you need to do that, you must pull into a marked parking spot. Again, we ask you don't do it at all. We have plenty of staff available to help your child in or out safely.
• All students must exit their car on the passenger side of the vehicle. We understand this can be tricky with child locks and car seats, but it is in the best interest of all our car riders to have it be this way. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
• We are not permitting people to turn left into the school from Hurd Road. You will be asked to continue down Hurd, turn around and join the end of the line.
• We ask that you please respect the guidelines we have set up and follow them consistently. Everyone involved in the car rider process, staff and parents, thank you!
