Hello Crosby Families,
Thanks to all of our students who participated in the Middletown Parade to represent Crosby this weekend. Shout out to the parents of our baseball, softball, and dance teams, along with several PTSA members!
We believe that rigor is not about piling on work—it’s about engaging students in deeper learning, critical thinking, and meaningful problem-solving. Our staff is working together to ensure that expectations are clear, consistent, and high across the board, because we know our students rise to the level of challenge we provide.
You can support this effort at home by encouraging your child to stay organized, ask questions, and give their best effort each day. When school and home partner together, students see the importance of their learning and grow even stronger.
Make sure and read over the PTSA slide for all addtional Color Run information and check out last year's video on our IG Page! Weekly Slide Deck Link - CLICK HERE

Hi families! We're excited to tell you more about the trip we're planning with EF Tours, our educational partner. Please register for our info session to be considered for our upcoming travel opportunity.
In our session, we'll cover everything from how this opportunity will benefit your child, what's included in the experience, how we'll keep the trip safe and affordable, and much more. Plus, if we haven't met yet, it's a good chance to learn more about me as both an educator and a Group Leader.
Registration for this session is mandatory to help organize our meeting, and a parent or guardian must attend. Can't make it? Choose "No, but send info" so you don't miss out.

Hello Crosby Families,

Hello Crosby Families,
Tomorrow and Wednesday, our students will be taking the MAP assessment, which provides us with valuable information about their growth and helps guide instruction throughout the year. Please help set them up for success by ensuring they get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time each day. Encourage your child to do their best, remind them that this is an opportunity to show what they’ve learned and how much they’ve grown since their Spring assessment.
