The Crissman Connection
April 18, 2019
A message from the principal...
Happy Friday Crissman families,
We have officially entered the 4th quarter of the 2018-2019 school year. Report cards will be sent home through email on Monday, April 22nd. To receive report cards, parents MUST have an established PowerSchool account prior to the release of the report cards. Paper copies are no longer available.
The 4th quarter brings so many activities along with year-end testing. As our students in grades 3-6 participate in the MSTEP, all students will also take their final NWEA for the school year. Students in grades K-6 will take Reading and Mathematics and students in grades 3-6 will also take Science. Getting our NWEA spring results are exciting for students and staff as we see how our students have grown academically since the fall.
Exciting News! Crissman Elementary is celebrating 50 years of learning this year. In honor of our 50 years, we will be having an assembly early in June. The assembly will be an invitation only event. If you know someone that worked at Crissman or has served a special role, please let me know. I would love to include them in on the celebration.
*If you have any pictures and/or artifacts from our school, please email me or drop it off in the office. Thank you!
Have a wonderful weekend with your family,
Mrs. Papastamatis

Parking lot safety 1, 2, 3...
I wanted to review the parking lot procedures for our school. I know that many of you may already know these procedures; however, it is always a great reminder for our families.
1) Use the student drop off zone located to the left of the parking lot entrance from 8:45 - 9:05 am. Please do not enter the bus loop during this time as it’s unsafe and causes additional congestion in the parking lot.
2) Student Drop-Off Lane: Move all the way to the back of this area (near the dumpsters/playground) and pull up next to the orange traffic cones. Once you arrive at the orange cones, please have your child exit the vehicle quickly and do not linger so that the next car may proceed in a timely manner. Please do not enter the area past the cones as this is a designated student pathway during this time. When your child has exited the car, please continue the “loop” around the end of the lot (in front of the dumpster/playground) and exit to Wolf Drive.
3) Parking in the Subdivision- Please do not park on the street where you see signs that say “No parking, Stopping, or Standing”. If you can read the sign when you are parking, do not park there OR if you are between the two signs, do not park there. Double Parking- Please do not park on both sides of the street. Our buses need to get through. The Shelby Township Police can give you a ticket.
Thank you so much for your patience and support!
As always, if you arrive past 9:00 am, please accompany your child to the office and sign them in.
