Dear Crow Island Families,
We are excited for the first day of school today and can not wait to see students! As a reminder, the first day is a shorter day and we will have an 11:20am dismissal.
As we prepare for the first regular week I hope that families can take a look at the arrival and dismissal procedures linked below. It is really important that you also share the procedures with anyone else who will be picking up your children. This helps ensure a smooth and safe process.
Lastly, it looks like the weather is cooling down a bit over the next few days. It will be warm in the building so I encourage families to pack a refillable water bottle. We have a heat plan in place to take breaks in air conditioned spaces throughout the day.
We look forward to kicking off the school year!
Luke Livingston
