The Crosby Chronicle
Week of September 28th-October 2nd, 2020
GREETINGS FROM PRINCIPAL FERGUSON!
I hope this letter finds you all doing well, and enjoying this beautiful fall weather. It is hard to believe we have completed 4 weeks of school already. We really appreciate all you have been doing to support our students with their remote learning, and we are excited to have new laptops for our staff, which will improve some of the technology issues we have been experiencing these first weeks.
It has been a busy few weeks with grade level supply pick up, kindergarten language screening, and so much learning with the online platforms, and technology tools, for staff and students.
Attached to this newsletter, you will see the Remote Learning Expectations we have at Crosby for all students and parents. Please take time to read through these expectations and discuss them with your child.
We will be holding our Parent Teacher Conferences virtually via ZOOM on October 7th and 8th. You will be receiving more information about how to sign up for your 20 minute conference to discuss your child's progress this first quarter.
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to our amazing Crosby PTO, for purchasing our Kindergarten "Class of 2033" T-shirts. Last week, we were able to distribute these T-shirts when we had our kindergarten supply pick up. Just a reminder for all kindergarten families, if you have not picked up your supply bag and T-shirt, please come to the school between 8:00 and 4:00 this week. If you need a time later than 4:00, please contact the school office to make arrangements.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kathleen Ferguson
