A Note from the Principal
Parent teacher conferences are scheduled for February 28th and 29th for Crete Intermediate. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about your student’s academic progress and how we can work together as a team to ensure your student finishes the year successfully. If you haven’t done so already, please call the intermediate office to schedule your 15 minute time slot to visit with your student’s teachers.
Schedule:
Wednesday, February 28th: 6:00 - 8:30 PM
Thursday, February 29th: 8:00 - 11:00 AM, 12:30 - 3:30 PM, 5:00 - 8:00 PM
Valentine's Parties
This year, students can participate in a Valentine exchange. We kindly request that if your child chooses to participate, they bring non-food items to share with their classmates. This could include small cards, stickers, or other fun and age-appropriate tokens of friendship. It is also fine if the student just wants to exchange the cards.
To facilitate this exchange, your child's teacher will be sending home a class list (first names only) prior to the Valentine's Day celebration. This will allow your child to address their Valentine cards accurately and share in the fun of giving Valentine cards.
The school will be providing treats for all students during the Valentine's Day celebration. To ensure the safety of all students, we kindly request that no outside food treats be brought to share. Our school is committed to maintaining a healthy and allergy-conscious environment, and your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
3rd Grade Party ~ February 14th
4th Grade Party ~ February 9th (Same day as Box Social)
5th Grade Party ~ February 14th
4th Grade Box Social
Our fourth graders will be having a modern version of a box social. Our Box Social will take place on Friday, February 9th. This year, each fourth grader will either be a Maker or a Helper. Our Makers will decorate a box and bring that box to school the morning of the 9th. THIS YEAR, ALL LUNCHES WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL. If you would like to get a picture of your child and their box, please plan on taking that picture at home. More information will be sent home about getting your child’s box to school as we get closer to February 9th. This year, Helpers will perform an ‘Act of Service’ at the school. This could be helping a teacher with a task, assisting Mr. Coffey in the lunchroom, or any other act of service that will benefit the school.
We hope you are as excited as we are that your child will get to participate in Box Social this year. If you have any questions or concerns, please call or email your child’s homeroom teacher.
