Craddock's Meet and Greet, Thursday, 8/15 from 2:00-4:00
We are so excited to invite all of our Craddock students and their families to our annual back-to-school Meet and Greet! We will hold this on Thursday, August 15th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at Craddock! To help reduce traffic within the building and issues with parking, we encourage all families whose last names end with the letters A-L to attend during 2:00-3:00 and those whose last names end with M-Z attend during 3:00-4:00.
Our Meet and Greet is an awesome opportunity for students to see where their classrooms are, meet their teacher, drop off supplies, catch up with friends and visit one of our many tables to gather information on Scouts, PTO, etc. We will also have a school bus available for students to practice getting on and off of! It's a lot of fun and a great way to continue to get ready for the start of another fantastic school year! Please plan to drop in and see us on August 15th! The Craddock staff is so excited to welcome everyone back!
Transportation for 24-25
Our transportation department has been busy preparing for the 24-25 school year. Tentative bus routes may be available as soon as July 17th to view bus stop locations and times. Please remember these routes are subject to change and should be checked closer to the start of the school year. You will need to log into E-Link Versatrans using the link/button below and follow the log-in procedures to access your child's busing information. https://versatransweb04.tylertech.com/Aurora/elinkrp/Login.aspx
If this is the first time using E-Link, use the following login information.
User name = jane.smith (That is the students name, jane.smith with no spaces. Password = students date of birth 01012018)
Once you are in, go to “Work with students” then “View my students” We also now have GPS on the school buses. You can see when the bus is to arrive at your home.
We also have a Bus Stop App where you can track and monitor your child's bus and receive important updates. If you download “versatrans my stop” from the app store and sign in using the same information as above.
If you know your child will not be riding the bus no matter what grade, please email the transportation department and let us know so that we can have more accurate routes. Any student being transported to any location other than their home address will need to fill out the "Alternate bus stop form". This form is located on the ACSD website under the Transportation Department Site and is linked below. We ask that the changes made will be a regular schedule. We cannot do requests such as every other week.
All requests or changes to busing can be sent to: transportationinfo@aurora-schools.org
Transportation Information: https://www.aurora-schools.org/administration/transportationoperations
Finally, Craddock Elementary uses a Google Form for attendance and pick-up/drop-off notifications. This is for notification purposes if you will be picking your child up instead of sending them on the bus and does not allow us to make changes to bus stops and locations. All Busing changes must go through transportation. More information about our attendance and notification will be shared in August!
READ, READ, READ this summer!
