The Crissman Connection
March 11, 2022
Hi Crissman Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful week. March is Reading Month is kicking off strong! This week we announced our Bookmark Winners! PTA and I would like to thank everyone that participated and put forth so much creativity and effort! The results were amazing!
Congratulations to Evie J. in 5th grade and Marissa K in 2nd grade!
Today our Crissman Cougars visited the Book Cart to choose a free book! A big thank you to our PTA for purchasing all the books and to Ms. Manzella for helping distribute them throughout each classroom!
NWEA testing has wrapped up here at Crissman. Please look for the NWEA Parent Report in your email inbox today.
Yours Truly,
~Mrs. Papastamatis

Parking Lot Safety
I wanted to review the parking lot procedures for our school. I know that many of you may already know these procedures; however, it is always a great reminder for our families.
1) Use the student drop off zone located to the left of the parking lot entrance from 9:10-9:20am. Please do not enter the bus loop during this time as it’s unsafe and causes additional congestion in the parking lot.
2) Student Drop-Off Lane: Move all the way to the back of this area (near the dumpsters/playground) and pull up next to the orange traffic cones. Once you arrive at the orange cones, please have your child exit the vehicle quickly and do not linger so that the next car may proceed in a timely manner. Please do not enter the area past the cones as this is a designated student pathway during this time. When your child has exited the car, please continue the “loop” around the end of the lot (in front of the dumpster/playground) and exit to Wolf Drive.
3) Parking in the Subdivision- Please do not park on the street where you see signs that say “No parking, Stopping, or Standing”. If you can read the sign when you are parking, do not park there OR if you are between the two signs, do not park there. Double Parking- Please do not park on both sides of the street. Our buses need to get through. The Shelby Township Police can give you a ticket.
4) Handicap Parking Spots- Our handicap parking spots are reserved for anyone with a Valid Handicap Parking Permit. Please do not use these spots to drop-off/pick-up your child(ren).
Thank you so much for your patience and support!
As always, if you arrive past 9:20 am, please accompany your child to the office and sign them in.
