Crosby Parents and Guardians,
I hope everyone was able to enjoy time with families and friends over the
Thanksgiving Break. Just as families across many cultures share ways of marking this
season by opening calendars, lighting candles, gathering together, or practicing daily
traditions, each school day gives us new opportunities to support, guide, and connect
with your child. Our Crosby teachers are sparking curiosity, having conversations at
the classroom door, and much more! These daily interactions help our students stay
focused and confident as we approach the end of the semester (15 days remain).
During this time of year, students benefit greatly from consistency, calm routines,
and strong partnerships between home and school. Thank you for helping us maintain
that stability.
Winter MAP testing is Tuesday and Wednesday this week! Your support this week,
ensuring students arrive on time, stay engaged, and come prepared, makes an
enormous difference. Click the link for the remainder of the weekly: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lA9KPY4GFGJoQ8YV2wlNAY5RLb-4rA3g/view?usp=sharing

Crosby Families,
As we approach the Thanksgiving and Winter breaks, we ask for your continued partnership in maintaining the positive Culture and Climate that makes our school #ThePlaceToBe.
This week, please reinforce the importance of these core agreements at home:
Character Strong: Discuss the character traits your student is currently learning through the Character Strong program.
Daily Expectations & ROAR: We emphasize our ROAR expectations daily, which earn students PBIS Reward Points. Please review these with your student and ensure they are meeting these standards consistently:
Monday: Ready and Responsible
Tuesday: Own your actions
Wednesday: Actively Participate
Thursday: Respect yourself and others
Friday: ROAR (A day to bring all expectations together!)
By reinforcing these expectations together, we ensure a focused and respectful learning environment right up until the holidays!

All JCPS schools and buildings will open and operate as normal on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025. Our crews tested the water and air quality at all of our schools and buildings today and everything came back normal. Louisville Metro Government officials have also informed us that it is safe to reopen schools. Our thoughts remain with all those affected by Tuesday’s tragic plane crash.
Dear JCPS families,
We appreciate your understanding as our schools and buildings are closed today while the city has implemented a necessary shelter-in-place due to last night’s tragic plane crash.
Today, our teams are checking the air and water quality at all of our schools and buildings. We are doing these checks out of an abundance of caution, as the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
If you and your family need food assistance today, please reach out to Dare to Care Food Bank:
Website: DaretoCare.org
Phone: (502) 966-3821
We know situations like what happened last night impact our students in different ways. Every JCPS school has a mental health team that is available to talk with students about how they are feeling. If your child would like support when we return to class, please reach out to their school.
As a reminder, we provide important updates via text, email, JCPS social media platforms, the JCPS app, our website, and local media.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and staff.
