Craddock's Weekly Update

For the Week of September 26, 2022

Mrs. Menta's Message

Happy Friday Craddock Families!


We ended yet another wonderful week by celebrating as a whole school the feat of filling our school-wide pom pom bucket! The kids unanimously voted to bring a stuffed animal to school and they had a blast! Even Mrs. Bayer got in on the action! Check out the pictures below!


I am so excited to announce our Cruisin' Craddock event will be held a week from today! Information went home over a week ago via Final Forms. This event will allow ALL of our staff and students to better their physical and mental health, by setting time aside for either walking or running around our homemade track out back. Each class has been assigned a time and students and staff will enjoy music, bubble machines, water and each other as they participate. We will be running our event even in cool temps and sprinkles, so please send your child dressed appropriately. We are also encouraging all of our students to bring in a labeled water bottle, which can be refilled during the event as needed. What a great way to bring the Craddock family together in a healthy way! Many thanks to our PTO for all their hard work to make this event happen. We continue to be thankful for the support of our families as well. We are so grateful!


Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for allowing us the pleasure of working with your kiddos each day! We are so lucky!


Take care,


Kim Menta

Car Rider Protocol - IMPORTANT!

Many thanks for your patience as we get things up and running. It will take us a few weeks to run at optimal speed. We will work daily to fix, modify and adapt things to be as efficient as possible. Your patience is greatly appreciated by all our staff.


Students can be dropped off at 8:40 a.m. at the earliest! Please do not allow them to exit your car until that time, as there is no staff to monitor them. Pick up will begin promptly at 3:10 each day. If everyone knows the system and cooperates, we will have all students in cars in 15-20 minutes.


Here are some things I need all car rider families to do, which will help immensely.


  • Please do not use Willard to line up for drop off or pick up. We are working with the police to get it blocked off, but in the meantime, please avoid it. Enter Hurd Road off of New Hudson and begin lining up there. Please see the map below for guidance.
  • Parents are not permitted to get out of their car when dropping off or picking up their child(ren). It is one of the main reasons the flow of traffic slows down. If you need to do that, you must pull into a marked parking spot. Again, we ask you don't do it at all. We have plenty of staff available to help your child in or out safely.
  • All students must exit their car on the passenger side of the vehicle. We understand this can be tricky with child locks and car seats, but it is in the best interest of all our car riders to have it be this way. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
  • We are not permitting people to turn left into the school from Hurd Road. You will be asked to continue down Hurd, turn around and join the end of the line.
  • We ask that you please respect the guidelines we have set up and follow them consistently. Everyone involved in the car rider process, staff and parents, thank you!
