Crabapple Crossing Elementary

Dear Parents,

I am really enjoying my time at CCES. It is always fun to spend time with students and to be able to work with teachers. As you will notice from the CCRPI scores that were published last Friday, our students continue to score high. The support of the parents and the dedicated teaching staff truly make the students successful and lifelong learners.

Unfortunately, some of you are experiencing the effects of our bus driver shortage. The Administration fully understands the impact on your morning routine. We are also aware that cooler weather or rain may influence your decision to drive your child to school. However, we are required to follow policies regarding students being tardy. We are experiencing an unusual number of students being in the car pool line and entering the building after the bell rings, therefore being tardy. Please be mindful of the heavy traffic in the morning and adjust accordingly. We really like to start every student’s day off positively for them by having them here on time. Remember, if they ride the bus, they are never counted tardy!

Thank you for your continued support!

John Anderson

Interim Principal
