CES Families:
At Crosby Elementary we spend time affirming our students and encouraging student to student affirmations. This type of positive praise is not only important for our students, but also for our staff.
We would like to offer an easy way for parents and families to provide positive affirmations for our wonderful CES staff.
Please take a minute to tell us about a CES staff member who has made a positive impact on our students, staff, and community by clicking the link below.
CES will include this link each week on the newsletter. You can recognize anyone at anytime! We will present each staff member who receives a positive affirmation with a certificate including the affirmation that is shared with us.

Crosby ISD Parents/Guardians/Staff,
We are looking forward to celebrating the veterans of Crosby / Barrett Station at the annual Crosby ISD Veterans Day ceremony. This year's celebration will happen on Veterans Day, Monday, November 11, 2024, at Cougar Stadium. We are asking veterans to arrive by 6:30pm so that they can be announced before the program begins at 7pm. Students at CES in 4th grade are working hard on their performance to honor the men and women of our communities who served and sacrificed. We can't wait to see everyone on Monday, November 11.
For 4th grade families of students performing in the ceremony, please fill out the permission form that was sent through Parent Square from Mrs. Heckaman, so that your child may attend the rehearsal of the program on the morning of November 11 at Cougar Stadium. We ask that your child arrive at Cougar Stadium by 6:30pm so we can organize before the 7pm start time. Thank you.
