Welcome Back!
We look forward to another excellent year!
For the FIFTH

Thank you for your continued support!

Important
Information
Please take time to complete both the yellow enrollment
card and emergency medical forms as soon as possible,
School Hours
Crosby Elementary hours are 8:30 AM-3:00 PM.
If your child arrives after the 8:30 AM bell rings,
please bring him/her to the office to sign them in.
If the office staff does not know your child came in
late, he/she may be counted absent for the entire day.
Your child will be marked tardy if they arrive within 1
hour late or leave within the last hour of the day.
Student
Absence
If your child will be absent for any reason, please call
the office at 738-1717. If
a child is not at school, we make every attempt to notify you to
be sure they are safe and accounted for.
Lunch Money
Every student has a cafeteria number at school.
They use this number every time they go through the
cafeteria line and purchase breakfast or lunch.
For your convenience, you may send in cash or a check
(payable to Crosby Cafeteria) once a week, once a month or
whenever you choose. The
money will be applied to your child’s account.
This helps eliminate lost lunch money and is more
convenient for parents.
If
you think you qualify for free or reduced price meals, please
fill out the application in your packet and return it to school
as soon as possible. You
will be notified by mail if you qualify.
If
you have any questions about lunches or the cafeteria, please
call the Head Cook, Mrs. Peggy Peace at 738-1717.
Drop
Off
The earliest students should be dropped off is 8:05 AM.
At that time there is adequate supervision and the
student may go directly to the classroom.
Student
Safety and Pick-up
We keep a close eye on who is on school property.
Please help us by stopping in the school office when you
enter the building. If
you are picking your child up at the end of the day, we ask that
you DO NOT go
directly to the classroom.
You need to come to the office, notify Mrs. Scheer and
she will call your child to the office for you.
For your child’s safety we ask that you remain in the
lobby area and escort him/her to the car.
Parking space is limited and small children are hard to
see. We
encourage you to park along the back parking area (under the
basketball goals) to make dismissal safer for everyone.
Picture
Day
Picture Day is Tuesday, September 16th.
Your child will need their picture day payment
envelope/order form the day of pictures or before.
Information will be send home soon.
Labor
Day Holiday
There will be no school on Monday, September 1, 2008 due
to the Labor Day Holiday. We
hope everyone enjoys this last long weekend of summer.
Student
Banking
Thanks to Miami Savings Band, our students will again
have the opportunity to learn about saving money.
Students who wish to participate in this savings
opportunity need to open a savings account.
Forms will be available at school or the bank.
Banking dates will be held every other Thursday at 8:15
AM beginning September 4th. Look for additional information to be sent home soon.
Magazine
Sale
The school-wide magazine sale kicks off on Wednesday,
August 27th. This
is a big fundraiser for Crosby Elementary.
The monies from this sale are used to provide assemblies,
after-school enrichment programs and physical fitness awards to
name only a few. While
participation is not required, we do try to offer some fun
prizes and rewards to those students who do sell magazines. The sale runs through Wednesday, September 10th.
Please call the office if you have any questions.
E-Mail/Internet

provide your e-mail address which would be used to communicate
school-wide announcements.
