Cooler days and a busy November are here! Take a look at what's happening around Crestview and mark your calendars for the upcoming events.

Crestview is hosting a food drive to support our local food banks and families in need! Every donation makes a difference, and we appreciate your generosity. Donations can be dropped off in the food drive box located in front of the school or brought to the front office. Thank you for helping our community!

Have leftover Halloween candy? Crestview is collecting extra Halloween candy to send to our troops overseas as a small thank you for their service. Bring your leftover candy donations to the front office. Thank you for helping us show our troops a little appreciation for all they do!

Student Council will begin selling fun, fall-themed goodies next week! An order form will be sent home with students. Please complete the form with your child’s order and include payment. Students should return their completed order form and payment to their teacher. Thank you for supporting our Crestview Student Council!

Our Amazon Wish List helps us add exciting new books to our library, giving our students more opportunities to discover new stories, explore new worlds, and fall in love with reading! Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. We are so grateful to our wonderful Crestview families and community for helping our library grow, one book at a time!

Veterans Day — No School Wednesday

A reminder that there will be no school this Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day. We'd also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the veterans and military families in our Crestview community. Thank you for your service!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead!

*For the safety and well-being of all students, please be reminded that students may not carry medication at any time. School office personnel are not permitted to dispense any medication without a doctor’s note. This includes both prescription medications and over-the-counter items such as aspirin, cough drops, skin creams, and similar products. If your child requires medication during school hours and a doctor’s note has not been provided, a parent or guardian must come to the office to administer the medication to their child.

*Neighborhood Parking Reminder: As a reminder, please park responsibly during drop-off and pick-up. Keep driveways and mailboxes clear and avoid blocking access for our neighbors. Thank you for your cooperation!

*To help keep our classrooms focused and free from distractions, we ask that students do not bring toys to school. This includes items such as fidgets, squishies, stuffed animals, and similar objects. These items can easily become lost, damaged, or disruptive during the school day. Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a positive learning environment!

*Positive attendance plays a key role in your child’s academic success and helps them stay connected to learning each day. We appreciate your support in ensuring your child arrives at school on time and attends regularly. Please note that once a student reaches 12 absences, a doctor’s note will be required in order for any additional absences to be excused. If an absence is reported by a parent but a doctor’s note is not provided, it will still be recorded in Aeries; however, it will remain marked as unexcused until documentation is received.
