Note from the Principal

Spring Testing

Over the next few weeks, we will administer the NSCAS (Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System) test to our students. I am excited for our students to show what they have learned throughout the school year. The testing will occur during their regular class time. It is important you know these dates, so you can best prepare your student. Please ensure your child is at school and on time.

  • Language Arts NSCAS: April 1st-3rd

  • Math NSCAS: April 8th-10th

  • Science NSCAS (5th grade only): April 15th-16th

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call the school at (402) 826-5833.

Lost and Found

We have an abundance of lost and found items. Please encourage your child to look through the lost and found. We will donate unclaimed items at the end of April.

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 Intermediate office or the Welcome Center.
