Crosby Families: Yesterday was the kickoff for our Clubs Choice Fundraiser. Your students should have brought home a packet of information that will explain how they can participate. Students also have the opportunity to collect DOG clip-ons that they can show off to their friends for participating. Students will be selling cookie dough, items from the web store, and dry goods. Here is the link to the Clubhouse page: https://seller.clubschoicefundraising.com/Home/SchoolPage/CROS34. We are excited by the possibilities. Proceeds will be used in our building, classrooms, and special student experiences.

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! 🧡🖤

There's still time for our #LawtonPS Kindergarten families to participate in the survey below. The survey should take around 5-10 minutes to complete. You are being invited to participate in a study on parent perceptions regarding preschool education and whether or not parents chose to send their children to preschool on behalf of an SNU student. The purpose of this study is to explore perceptions that parents have regarding preschool education and if they chose to send, or not send, their children to preschool based on those perceptions. Participants will be asked to share their perceptions regarding preschool education. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GT9D8VJ
