Principal's Message

Conference Week Continue

Dear Croce Elementary Families,

I would like to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your continued partnership with our dedicated teachers. Your active participation in scheduling and attending parent-teacher conferences is essential in ensuring your child’s success, and we are grateful for your collaboration.

Conference Week Continues Next Week

As a reminder, our modified schedule for Conference Week continues into next week. Please take note of the following dismissal times:

TK/Kindergarten: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 1:10 PM; Wednesday at 1:30 PM
Grades 1-5: 1:30 PM daily

Thank you for your flexibility as we work together to ensure every family has the opportunity to connect with their child’s teacher.

The Importance of Attendance

I would also like to remind you of the crucial role that regular attendance plays in your child’s academic journey. Missing just 2 days per month might not seem significant, but it quickly adds up over time. Consider the following:

2 days per month x 10 months = 20 missed days per year
20 missed days per year x 13 years of school = 260 missed days
That’s over an entire school year and a half of missed learning!

Regular attendance helps your child stay on track academically, is crucial for social connection and feeling part of the Croce community. Every day truly makes a difference!

Doctor/Dentist Note

Please remember to bring a doctor or dentist note if you are pulling your child from school to go to an appointment!

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your child's education. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their future.

Warm regards,

Principal Burkholder
Croce Elementary School

If you can be anything, be kind!

Lost and Found

I know well how much is spent on your children's items... those water bottles and hoodies are not cheap! If any of these items look familiar, please come rescue them from our Lost and Found rack!
