Thank you.

Dear Cresthill Families -- both our incoming 7th grade families and our returning 8th grade families: We invite you to consider purchasing a device for your student to use (Chromebook, Mac, etc.) for their time here at CMS and beyond. As the use of personal devices is pretty much a regular part of our instructional practices and the lives of our students, we go to great lengths to make sure that every student has a device (primarily Chromebooks) for school use. We do recognize, though, with tightening school budgets, that it is becoming less and less feasible for us, as a school , to afford "loaner" devices for every student that needs one. Therefore, we extend an invitation to you to consider taking that step to purchase for your child a device for them to use both here and into their high school years.

On the Cresthill website is a page regarding our approach to 1:1/BYOD computing and device use here at CMS. On that page you will find a lot of information about the "why?" of using technology devices here at school as well as options for purchase through the district's offerings. Please take a moment to check things out and, if you have any questions, let me (Mr. Wakefield -- mdwakefield@dcsdk12.org) know. Thank you so much! And, have a wonderful summer!

• CMS is Hiring EAs to support students for 2023-24: We have four Educational Assistant (EA) positions available.

• If you or someone you know are interested in applying and working with our wonderful students, please direct them to the DCSD website DCSD link to apply and tell them to click on Classified, click EA IV, scroll down, and click Cresthill Middle School, and apply for the Educational Assistant positions at CMS. We are doing interviews as people apply and these interviews will be virtual.

• The positions are 35 hours a week, and the pay rate is $17.62-$21.96 depending on experience.

• Please direct questions to Denine Kysar dkkysar@dcsdk12.org

Please have your child check the lost and found.

All unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the school year.

The DCSD Communications Department is seeking feedback regarding district communications, social media, newsletters, and more. We value your opinion and results will be used to inform future decisions. Please take five minutes to complete the survey.
