The Cresthaven Elementary School Staff are excited about the start to the 2024-2025 school year. We look forward to your partnership throughout this school year.

A child's success in school relies on the relationship between home and school. As partners, we share the responsibility for your child's success. Here are a few helpful tips for a successful year.

1) Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience

2) Completes all assignments given by teachers

3) Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills

4) Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life

5) Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject

6) Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and go on to college

Hispanic Heritage Month is a month-long celebration of Hispanic and Latino history and culture. While we celebrate Hispanic and Latino communities beyond this month, from September 15 to October 15 we give extra recognition to the many contributions made to the history and culture of the United States, including important advocacy work, vibrant art, popular and traditional foods, and much more.
