EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR - Congratulations to our 2025 School-Related Employee of the Year, Aya Linsner! A dedicated paraprofessional at Crown Point Elementary, Lisner goes above and beyond every day—serving as a bus and crosswalk monitor, assisting students with reading and math, and helping run the student positive behavior support store. Her kindness, commitment, and passion for student success make a lasting impact. As Principal Brett Hartley shared, “Everyone at Crown Point adores Ms. Linsner. She is so loving to our students that they can’t wait to work with her. Teachers trust her completely, knowing their students are in good hands.” Thank you, Ms. Linsner, for your dedication to our students and school community!

On the evening of Tuesday, March 25th, we will be hosting the PTA Connected: Ready, Tech, Go! program.

More information about and registration for this event will be available this week."
