Crosby Park Elementary

CPE Families Reminder: Monday, September 16 is our Fall picture day beginning at 9:00. Have a great week, Longhorns!

Crosby Park Families: The annual Lawton Public School Foundation Breakfast is approaching quickly! The breakfast is scheduled for Friday, September 20th from 6-9 am. We have tickets for sale in the front office for anyone that would like to purchase them. They are $20/ticket. All proceeds go directly to fund grants through the foundation to support students and teachers in Lawton Public Schools. Attached you will also find the flyer for the ticket sales for the Chevy giveaway. Those tickets are $25/ea. or 5 for $100.

Crosby Park Families: All students have had an LPS badge attached to their backpacks. It is imperative that these badges remain attached to their backpacks at all times. These allow staff to identify students, are utilized to scan for breakfast, grant access to LPS buses, and allow student access to LPS sport events. Replacement badges cost $5 and will be applied as a fee in Infinite Campus. Please help us ensure the safety of all students. Feel free to reach out to the front office with any questions. Thank you!

Crosby Park Families: Welcome to the second day of school! Our car line and dismissal was very successful yesterday and will only continue to improve. There are important reminders to share. Please have your car tags displayed from your rear view mirror or on the driver's side of the dashboard. Please enter the neighborhood from Quanah Parker on Horton Blvd. You will loop around on Chestnut to help prevent traffic backing up on Quanah Parker. Please do not block neighborhood driveways. This will allow the line to flow smoothly and efficiently. If you have a change in dismissal procedure, call the front office by 2:30 so that all responsible parties can be made aware. Thank you for your support in ensuring the safety of our students! We are blessed with the best!

Crosby Park Families, We are so excited to welcome you back for a great 2024-2025 school year. Our dismissal process has remained the same this year. Students will dismiss from school at 3:45. Students that will be car riders will dismiss first at 3:45 to be loaded into their cars. Cars will not enter the parking lot until directed by a staff member. Please remain parked at the East side crosswalk (Horton Blvd.) until directed to enter the line by a staff member. Please have your ID ready. A staff member will verify your identity and you will be given your TWO family car tags that will be necessary for daily pick up. If you are missing your car tag, you will be required to show ID to pick up your student. Please remember that WALKERS will NOT dismiss until the carline is cleared. This helps ensure their safety while walking home. Parents that exit their vehicle and approach the school must park on side streets, not on Horton. At that time, your student is no longer a car rider and will be dismissed with walkers. If there are any changes to your daily dismissal routine, please notify the front office by 2:30. The office will be in safe dismissal mode beginning at 3:30 and will not be taking phone calls until dismissal is completed. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the safety of all students, staff, and families.

Crosby Park Families: We hope that you are enjoying the beginning of summer break with your students and we are preparing to welcome you all back in August. If you have a student beginning Kindergarten for 2024-25, please remember to complete the online enrollment through the LPS website (click Enroll Today at the top of the page and begin at Step 1 if your child did not complete Pre-K through LPS). Elementary check in at each site will take place on August 5, 6, & 7. More details will be provided via the website, Facebook, and text as we get closer to those dates. All students/families need to check in even if they have attended previously.

Crosby Park Families: Tomorrow is our Super Kids Day and we are so excited for the fun our students and staff will have! Remember, students may not wear two piece bathing suits to school. They are encouraged to wear shorts and t-shirts that are quick-drying. They may bring towels and a change of clothes. Slides/sandals are allowed to help prevent wet shoes. Please remember to pack a water bottle (we will have outside filling stations) and sunscreen. We will also have shade stations available. We appreciate the many requests to volunteer, but we will be fully staffed to monitor students. Stay tuned to Facebook for photos and videos!

Crosby Park Families, The LPS Summer Camp enrollment window has been expanded. We would love to get the opportunity to work with your students over the summer. Summer camp is open to all students. Students will receive breakfast and lunch. Makerspace Camp is available for 3rd-12th grades. Both flyers are attached. Thank you!
