Holiday & Event Info
On or before the 100th day, all children are to bring the 100 items to school in a non-see-through bag (like a brown paper bag) to keep the collection a secret! Please have your child write three clues about his/her collection to help the class identify the contents. Please do not buy anything new; you could bring in something as simple as 100 cotton balls or tissues.
For example:
I am shaped like the letter āCā.
I am soft when you cook me in water.
I taste great with cheese.
What am I? (Macaroni)

Reports from around the school....

What an exciting second quarter we have had! In guidance kindergarten and first grade students have been learning about the difference between tattling and reporting and how to be a problem solver.
Clinic Notes from Nurse Hajek
The Crozet Clinic has been busy with colds,coughs and stomachaches. We have also had a few confirmed cases of the flu. I want to remind everybody of the ACPS policy on when to keep children home. 1. If your child has had a fever of 100 degrees or higher within the past 24 Hrs. Children should be free of fever for a continuous 24 hrs. before returning to school without the use of medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. 2. Vomiting,diarrhea the night before or in the morning before going to school. 3. Nasal drainage requiring constant wiping and blowing, and continuous coughing throughout the day or night. Children who come to school sick are not productive learners, and can spread the illness to classmates and teachers. Thank you for all of your help in keeping Crozet a healthy place to learn. Please call if I can be of any assistance.
From Ms. Crummie
In preparation of the upcoming new school year 2014-15, our teachers and staff will soon begin looking at staffing, enrollment and class placements. Parent requests for class placements are due by March 27 to Mrs. Crummie via email or letter. These requests will be considered but not guaranteed. Stay informed about the latest school division funding request from our Superintendent at http://www.k12albemarle.org. Our projected school enrollment for 2014-15 is 328. Our current school enrollment is 332. Once again we appreciate the parent/community support and volunteer hours at Crozet and our amazing PTO.
