2022-2023 Class Placement

If you would like to provide Mr. Granieri with feedback regarding your child's class placement for next school year, please email crossfieldplacement@fcps.edu 


 Laptop Return

All Crossfield students will need to return their laptop and charger at the end of this school year. If your child was issued a protective sleeve, you may keep that sleeve for use next year.  

Laptops and chargers will be returned to school on Wednesday, June 8. Please help your student remember to bring their laptop and charger to school. Students can continue to use the devices during the remainder of the week in school, but they will leave their laptop and charger at school, in their homeroom class. Please store the sleeves at home in a safe place to use next year. We will NOT give new sleeves to students in Grades 4-6. 

Any students who are leaving early for summer NEED to return their laptop and charger to their teacher before leaving.
