CRES Parent Update 11-17-23

Dear Cub Families,

Thank you to all the Veterans who visited our school on Monday. We hope you know how much we appreciate you and your service to our country! Next week, we are looking forward to the annual Cub Run talent show. It is always amazing to see our talented Cubs on the stage! Just a reminder that we have school on Monday and Tuesday next week, and then, there is no school on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for Thanksgiving.

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Martz

We often find coats left on the playground! Please help us get coats back to their owners by writing your child's name on the tag of the coat! We want to make sure everyone has their coat for when it gets colder!

Earlier this year at a PTA meeting Ms. Martz shared how we would like to host 3-4 informational parent meetings a year. We are calling them Cub Connections! When talking with parents the general consensus was that an additional in-person meeting for parents was sometimes difficult because of child care, family schedules, etc., and we completely understand that. Someone suggested an online meeting instead. This would allow parents to still attend and hear the information. So, we are going to try online Cub Connections information parent meetings this first semester, and we will get parent input to decide how to continue in the future.

So, please join us for a Cub Connections-Parent Information Meeting on December 7th at 7:00 p.m. At our December meeting, we will discuss the topics of school attendance, our parent volunteer program, PAW Patrol, and we will also talk a little about keeping schools safe, too. We will send reminders about the December meeting as we get closer to it, and we will send the link to join the meeting on the day of the meeting. We hope you can join us online!

Ms. Martz
