February Newsletter

 

Note from the Principal

Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for February 23rd and 26th, at Crete Elementary. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about your student’s academic progress and how we can work together as a team to ensure your student finishes the year successfully. Please call the elementary office to schedule your 15-minute time slot to visit with your child’s teachers.

Schedule:

Monday, February 23rd: 6:00 - 8:30 PM

Thursday, February 26th: 8:00 - 11:00 AM, 12:30 - 3:30 PM, 5:00 - 8:00 PM

The Scholastic Book Fair will be taking place during conference times!  

Valentine's Day Parties

This year, students can participate in a Valentine exchange. We kindly request that if your child chooses to participate, they bring non-food items to share with their classmates. This could include small cards, stickers, or other fun and age-appropriate tokens of friendship. It is also fine if the student just wants to exchange cards.

To facilitate this exchange, your child's teacher will send home a class list (first names only) prior to the Valentine's Day celebration. This will allow your child to address their Valentine's cards accurately and share in the fun of giving them.

The school will provide treats for all students during the Valentine's Day celebration. To ensure the safety of all students, we kindly request that no outside food treats be brought to share. Our school is committed to maintaining a healthy and allergy-conscious environment, and your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

CPS App and Rooms Information

Many of our teachers are using rooms to communicate information about what is happening in the classroom. We encourage you to download the CPS app and sign up for Rooms. You can find helpful information on our CPS website.

Infinite Campus Emergency Contacts

Please make sure your child's emergency contacts are updated on Infinite Campus. The directions can be found on the CPS website safety page. If you need help, contact the Crete Elementary office or the Welcome Center.

Attendance Updates:

Did you know...?

Attending school every day has impacts beyond elementary, middle, and high school. Research shows almost 90% of students who miss 15 days a year in high school drop out of college.

Prepare for the future by encouraging consistent attendance every day your student isn’t sick.
