Dear Crestwood Families,

We’re excited to kick off Crestwood's Sweet Salute on November 6th, 7th, and 8th. This is a wonderful opportunity to share some sweet treats with our local first responders and brave soldiers near and far. 🍭🇺🇸

If your family has any extra candy, we invite you to send it in with your student after Halloween. All donations will go to those who protect and serve our community and country, giving them a little taste of our appreciation! 💕

Thank you for helping us spread kindness and sweetness to our heroes!

*Donations can be dropped off in the main office or with your child's teacher for us to collect for our Troops and First Responders! SEE Promotional Graphic below

Hi Crestwood families!

You are invited to participate in our Fall Family Conferences on November 6 & 7. Conferences will be held in-person. This is a time for you, the classroom teacher, and other support staff to discuss your child's academic growth, social/emotional needs, and other celebrations or needs. We aim for 100% participation from our community and encourage you to work with your child's teacher to schedule a time to reflect on the 1st trimester together.

Crestwood Conference Nights will be held on the following dates:

• Wednesday, November 6 - 4:00 - 7:00
• Thursday, November 7 - 4:00 - 7:00

We look forward to a wonderful Family Conference season!

Kit & Jillian

Head lice are a common problem, especially among school-aged children and their families. Our district is not seeing a rise in cases at this time; however, it is common to see additional cases around Halloween, as people try on costumes and headpieces in stores. As a precaution, we want to provide families with prevention tools and inform you of district practices. Head lice can be a nuisance, but they have not been shown to spread disease. In addition, personal hygiene or cleanliness in the home or school has nothing to do with getting head lice. Please click the link below for additional information.

As part of our continuous improvement efforts, Lindbergh Schools has launched a communications survey to gather feedback from community members, parents, and staff.

We invite you to take a survey to help us measure the effectiveness of our current communication practices and determine where we can improve. Take the survey online here: www.lindberghschoolssurvey.org
