Hi again, Crystal Springs Families-

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!

Reminders for the week of November 17th:
-Arrival: Please remember that it is imperative that students are dropped off on time so they can get to class and instruction can begin. We are leaving the arrival posts open to 8:35. Therefore, if you are a car rider, all car riders should be dropped off in the car riding zone, all walkers should walk to the walker doors, etc.
-Thanksgiving week: There is no school November 26-28. If your child is going to be out the Monday and Tuesday (11/24-25) prior to Thanksgiving break, please send your child's teacher a message so they can be marked as an excused absence.
-Dismissal: All students need to be picked up by 3:10PM unless enrolled in Extended Day.
Thank you!

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!
