This week is a truly special one as we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week here at Crosby! I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible educators who make Crosby more than just a school building; they make it a family.
Our teachers are the heartbeat of our culture; their tireless dedication, their support for one another, and their unwavering passion for your children are what make Crosby #ThePlaceToBe!
As we move through KSA testing this week, our staff is working hard to be "lighthouses" for our kids, guiding them with smiles, positive vibes, and the confidence they need to shine. Help our students stay "KSA-mazing" by ensuring they get plenty of rest and a great breakfast before testing!
Please join me this week in showering our teachers with gratitude. A quick note of thanks or a kind word goes a long way in celebrating the people who invest so much in our students' futures.
Current 6th and 7th Graders
We will be holding 3 open gyms prior to the end of school to prepare for the upcoming fall season. ALL girls are welcome to attend, this is not limited to players from last season.
We will be focusing on basic skills and fundamentals to prepare for fall tryouts this summer. If your daughter is interested in trying out, this is a great opportunity to get a feel of the skills I will be looking for at tryouts.
ALL Participants must have a completed physical packet. If your athlete has played or tried out for a sport this school year, they will be good to go.

Chromebook Collection Begins Tomorrow
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the end of the school year and prepare for upcoming KSA testing, we will begin our formal Chromebook collection process starting tomorrow, Wednesday, April 15th.
To ensure a smooth transition and to make sure all students have functional technology for their assessments, we ask for your support with the following:
Collection Kickoff: Beginning tomorrow, teachers will start verifying and collecting student devices. We are asking students to turn in their Chromebooks with the power on and screens open so that we can quickly confirm they are in good working order.
Damaged Devices: Any devices that are non-functional or have significant damage (such as missing keys) will be sent to the library for repair immediately to ensure we have enough working units for testing.
Charger Return: We are also collecting excess chargers. Students should be prepared to turn in their chargers as part of this process.
Classroom Use & Flexibility: Once devices are collected and verified, they will remain in designated classroom sets for secure storage and testing purposes. Because these devices will no longer be going home, students should be prepared for more "paper and pencil" lessons starting this week.
Testing Window: Please note that from April 30th through May 8th, classroom Chromebooks will be prioritized for KSA testing groups. During this time, students may not have individual access to a device during their regular class periods.
We appreciate your help in reminding your student to bring their device and charger to school tomorrow so we can complete this inventory efficiently. Thank you for your continued partnership in a successful end to the school year!
Crosby Parents,
Happy Monday! We hope you had a refreshing break.
The energy in the building is contagious right now! As we move into the final weeks of the 2025-26 school year, our classrooms are buzzing with student voices. We are intentionally trading extra screen time for active discussion and shared ideas, allowing our students to show off everything they’ve learned since August.
We know the end of the year can be busy, but your support at home makes all the difference. Let’s keep that momentum going and celebrate the hard work our students have put in. Make sure to check out the PTSA slide for updates!
See you at the finish line! #ThePlaceToBe - CLICK HERE to view the remainder of the weekly: https://canva.link/kaj930lgty2npub

Thank you to Dare to Care for standing alongside JCPS as we work to remove barriers and create brighter futures for every learner!
As we begin planning for the next school year, we are looking for volunteers to serve on the PTSA Board. Some of our current board members will be stepping down at the end of this year as their students move on from 8th grade, and we would love to welcome new faces to help continue supporting our school community.
Serving on the PTSA Board is a great way to stay involved, support our students and staff, and help shape the programs and activities that make our school special. No prior PTSA experience is required—just a willingness to help and collaborate with other parents and caregivers.
If you are interested in learning more about available board positions or would like to volunteer, please reach out to us directly at crosbymsptsapresident@gmail.com. We are happy to answer any questions and share more details about the roles.
Thank you for considering being part of the PTSA and for your continued support of our school.
PTSA membership is so important to what we do for all students. Please join us for the 2025/2026 school year by signing up for a membership. This has to be renewed each year for each PTA/PTSA.

Crosby Parents,
Monday mornings can be a bit of a scramble, coffee in one hand, permission slips in the other. It’s easy to feel like we’re just counting down the days until the weekend, but at Crosby, we’re focused on making the days count across the entire building! CLICK HERE to view the entire weekly slide deck!
JCPS families came together last week for an evening filled with food, games, and hands-on self-care resources designed to help everyone discover simple, meaningful ways to create inner peace. From laughter and connection to practical tools to take home, this event was all about caring for ourselves and each other.
Because when families feel supported, our whole community grows stronger.
