CIMS Parents and Caregivers,
We shared information yesterday regarding the Marion County Health Department’s requirement to move to virtual for K-12. Our school will be virtual starting November 23rd. We know this change can be overwhelming and create many questions that need to be answered. We are working to get these answers to you as soon as possible. Please know that Creston is here for you to answer questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher, counselor, or administrator. We may not have answers to everything at this time, but will work hard to communicate with you as soon as we do.
In order for our teachers to properly prepare for virtual learning, please note that Monday, November 23rd and Tuesday, November 24th will be eLearning days. These days will be different from virtual learning that your child will begin on Monday, November 30th. On these days students will log into Canvas and complete independent activities. Teachers will be available to answer questions from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. Please find the most up to date information we have on this transition to virtual below.

Only the parents/guardians of basketball players and cheerleaders will be permitted into the game; your athletes will be bringing home more information related to this after Monday evening’s practice. Again, only parents and guardians may attend - we cannot safely accommodate younger siblings, Creston students who are not athletes, extended family, or friends.
