Good morning Crystal Spring Families,

Due to the extreme cold this morning, please take precautions to dress your child warmly as the feel-like temperature is currently 19 degrees. If, for whatever reason due to the extreme cold, you are not comfortable sending your child to school today, please reach out to their teacher and let them know. We will only be excusing students absences if you reach out to your child's teacher. It is always our goal to work together and make the best decisions for our kids. Please stay safe and warm!

Good morning Crystal Springs Families!!!

In case you aren't watching the weather, tonight into tomorrow morning is going to bring lows in the 20s through tomorrow morning. These are going to be the coldest temperatures in three years! Please make sure your kiddos are wearing the warmest clothes they have. If you are in need of warm clothes for your kids, please let us know so that we can look through our clothes closet and see what we may have. As usual, do not drop your children off before 8AM as it will be too cold and there is no supervision. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi again, Crystal Springs Families-

We have received quite a few phone calls about students being absent tomorrow, Friday. If your student is going to be absent tomorrow, it will be excused. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and we will see you and your students back on January 7th!

Good morning Crystal Springs Families!

I wanted to let you know that our emergency lockdown alarm was triggered this morning around 10:15 by accident. Our faculty, staff, and students did a phenomenal job doing exactly what we have practiced. I am so proud of everyone!!! Again, it was a false alarm, but I wanted to make everyone aware in case your child comes home today talking about it. Rest assured that everyone was safe and remains safe! Have a wonderful afternoon!

Good afternoon!

I wanted to let you know that we had a student make a statement in class insinuating that he had a prohibited object in his backpack. It was immediately reported to the Principal and Officer on campus. The student and his belongings were immediately removed and it was found that the student had made a paper facsimile with nothing but lined paper and tape from home. There was no threat at any time. We will continue to make the safety of our students, faculty, and staff our priority. Please have conversations with your students about what is appropriate to bring to school and check their backpacks daily so this type of concern does not happen. I truly appreciate your support! Have a wonderful afternoon!
