A Message from your Principals
Dear Parents and families,
We are finishing up with Ski for PE Nordic for 1st graders this week and kindergarten is next up starting next week!
We wrapped up the first semester on January 14th and we are finalizing Progress Reports and compiling assessment results to share with families. Look for your child’s Progress Report Packet on Friday or Monday. Please contact your child’s teachers with any questions or clarifications needed.
We hope you’re all enjoying the wintery weather!

Opportunities for Active Fun Before School
Open Gym for 4th and 5th graders on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:00 - 8:25 starting January 10th. Start your day off right with some exercise and fun with your friends in the gym! There's a ton of research that highlights the impact of early morning activity to "SPARK" your day.
The Morning Mile is still running, thanks to the CB Nordic Center! Students may run, walk, jog or even NORDIC SKI on the groomed track in front of CBCS! If your children have their own cross country skis they are welcome to ski (or run/walk) before school, anytime from 7:50-8:25. Students may leave their skis in the skateboard rack at the school entrance and then take home at the end of the day. Hope to see you out there on the track! Cheers to healthy habits in 2023! Thanks again to the CB Nordic Center for grooming and providing this opportunity for our students and families!
The Latest from the PTA
Feb. 1 Deadline to apply for the new Family & Community Liaison position:
Do you know anyone who loves connecting with the community, has experience either in schools or in nonprofit work, enjoys both hands-on engagement as well as program development? The PTA and Rotary Club are proud to be partnering with CBCS to fund a pilot program this school year to explore the long-term benefits of having a staff position within the school to help with volunteers, family engagement, and community partnerships. We believe that embedding such a role within the school will create an affordable, sustainable way to multiply the resources to our school and foster even more support for our students. Please share this announcement ASAP if you know someone who would like some part-time work thru mid-summer, and would like to help launch this incredible resource for our school. Questions? Contact Margaux Helvey, president@crestedbuttepta.org or learn more at https://crestedbuttepta.org/family-and-community-liaison/
