CRSD WEEKLY NEWS UPDATE

Congratulations to our National Merit Students and our Student Advisory Board

CRHS-South has been doing Fun Friday Mini Stem lessons since the beginning of the year in both of our science classes and they really look forward to working together each week.

This week, each group was given 5 sheets of paper and 5 inches of tape along with 6 books as the base. They were instructed that they had to build a bridge to hold as many books as possible. This group made a paper bridge that held TWENTY-FIVE books!

FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS

On Tuesday, November 8, we conducted a successful test of our emergency communications.

We sent out:

• a text alert
• Phone call
• Email message
• Post on CRSD's Facebook and Twitter Account
• An emergency banner on the CRSD Hompage

If you did not receive a text, phone call and an email message, the first thing to do is to check in your HAC account and make sure you have all 3 of those options set up. You will need to have a number set up for SMS/Text communication to get a text. That same number can also be set up for your mobile and also your home number if you still have a landline. If you believe you have all of this set up but you still have questions on this, send them to hacsupport@crsd.org

All meetings are at The Chancellor Center unless otherwise noted.

Governor Tom Wolf recently announced that all Pennsylvania schools participating in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) will provide free breakfast for all elementary and middle school students for the 2022-23 school year. Because grades K-8 participate in the National School Lunch program, they are eligible for the free breakfast; Council Rock high schools do not participate in the program.

Council Rock will begin offering free breakfast to all enrolled students at the elementary and middle school level starting Monday, October 3 through the end of the 2022-23 school year.
