Hello CIS Families and Students!
It has been an interesting last couple of weeks - one day its snowing and another day its sunny and 80! But through it all the students and staff have been so great and the smiles are being seen everyday!!!
WE ARE ASKING ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF TO PLEASE WEAR RED ON MONDAY TO CELEBRATE ONE BOOK ONE SCHOOL! I wonder what book it will be - we will find out on Monday!!!! Cant wait!
The month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month - We will wear GREEN on Thursday May 6th, to bring awareness to mental health. This was changed from the original handout that said Monday.
REMINDER - On May 3rd for 5th grade boys and May 4th for 5th grade girls, the district nurse Laura Ebie will be doing a presentation on puberty to your students. The 5th Grade Homeroom Teachers have given each a student a packet that includes the outline of what she will be talking about and there is a reverse permission slip for the parents to send back if they do not want their child to participate. Any questions please contact the nurse at lebie@crestwoodschools.org.
Attention ALL Grade Level Parent and Families -
- During the last two weeks of May, we will be sending out (based on grade) a video detailing what next year will look like academically and grade expectations. This video will introduce you to the next grade level. I will try to share out more information in regards to next year but we have to wait to see what protocols we have to follow due to the pandemic. Thank you again for being patient.
- PTO is again selling Edukits for next year (school supply kits). Here is the link to purchase an Edukit: https://www.edukitinc.com/schools/11926/Crestwood%20Intermediate%20Mantua,%20OH

ONE BOOK ONE SCHOOL
Extended Learning Programs and Plans
SPRING BOOST 2021:
- This program is for selected students and will help those students with reading interventions that can occur before or after school. The main office has reached out to the student families to discuss the program and plan.
- We are in the process collaborating with community partnerships and teachers to create a plan that will include additional learning opportunities for students that are showing learning gaps and create needed support for students that are at-risk.
- The summer program will consist of four weeks after school ends for the summer then another two weeks before school resumes in the fall 2021.
- The lessons will focus on Math and ELA and incorporate a PBL/Inquiry model with IXL implementation.
- The criteria for selecting students will be similar to the spring boost program and we will have two teachers at each grade level.
4th GRADE - PERSONAL BODY SAFETY - week of May 10
Please read the letter below that was sent out to parents via 4th grade homeroom teachers and if you have questions please contact your child's homeroom teacher or reach out to Townhall II for further clarification.
