Crosby Families: Happy Tuesday! Don't forget, our annual Club's Choice Fundraiser is running until September 11, 2023. Remind your student to fill out their slips and bring those to the office so they can receive their clip-on collectible puppy for their backpack! Thank you for supporting our school and your students. We are excited to be able to use proceeds to help fund field trips and purchase resources and materials to use with students throughout the building! Signing up is easy and orders can be made online with shipping available so you don't even need to worry with delivering items.

Crosby Family: Today was an amazing day to be a Longhorn! Your students were showered with love and the teacher's hearts were full. Thank you all for your patience as we continue working through some adjustments with arrival and dismissal. Please remember, walkers will not be dismissed until after the car line has ended. This is to help ensure the safety of our students and keep them off of roads that are extremely busy at that time. Also, we are happy to open doors and help load students into cars. In order to continue the flow of traffic and reduce wait time significantly, we are unable to hold the line for the time it takes to buckle students into car seats. Please pull forward (out of the parking lot) and park on the side of the road in order to get out and buckle your student. Finally, please be courteous to our neighbors and avoid parking/stopping in front of driveways. This is also important for parents that park and wait for their students that walk home. Thank you, again. We are excited to see you all tomorrow and thank you for allowing us to serve you and your students!

Crosby Family: Parents must physically check-in their student at the building. Online forms were pushed out and may be completed before arrival. If you have any questions regarding the online portion, staff members are happy to help you through it. If you did not receive the message, we will help you through that process as well. Thank you all and we will see you today!

Crosby Family: Tomorrow is the third day for check-in and we encourage you to please stop in. Staff will be available from 8:30-11:30 and 1:00-3:00 and would love to walk you through the process. We will also begin calling families for confirmation of attendance. Please let us know how we may best support you! 🧡🖤
