Thank you for a great year of growing and learning. We appreciate you entrusting us with your most precious gifts! We love our students and families and are so grateful that you send your kids to Crossroads Elementary.
Please be sure to read this newsletter. There are many important items here for you to know about. I've included the date and time for our Open House as well as useful information for Rec Check, iUpdate, school supply lists and things to do while your child is off from school. I hope you have a wonderful 3-4 weeks off from school. Enjoy these days off with your kids, they are growing up quickly! We will be back in school before you know it.
We look forward to seeing you in September.
Together,
Tracy Buhl, Principal
