Library

Hey Readers!

  • Our next library curbside pick up will be November 13th
  • We will have two pick up windows, from 11:45 – 12:45 and again from 3:30 – 5:30. This will be our last Friday pick up as our students come back into the building. 
  • Curbside will be offered on Mondays beginning November 23rd with the same time frames. 
  • Those students who are returning to school will have their library holds delivered directly to their classrooms.

Many thanks to those who have returned your library books.  We currently have over 400 items that are still out from last year.  If you have library books from last year, they can be returned to the black bin outside of Crossfield during school hours or returned to Mrs. Baucum during any curbside pick up window.


Square

Reminder - November 18 - Last Day to Place Square 1 Art Digital Orders

These make fabulous holiday gifts for everyone on your list, and as a bonus, every order profits our school!

The process is easy:

  1. Your child creates art. Instructions will be provided by our art teacher, Mrs. Muha.
  2. Take a photo of your child's art with your phone or tablet and upload the art online at square1art.com/shop/upload

This is strictly a fundraiser-not for your student to turn in to Mrs. Muha for their grade.

There is also a Parent Portal which walks you through each stop of the way and includes tips on how to take the best picture. https://www.square1art.com/parent-portal/
