White Ribbon Week Chart Activities: Our PTA is encouraging families to do White Ribbon Week activities at home. Conversations about internet safety and how to engage with technology are important to have at school and in the home. You can find the grade level activity charts below.

6. SAFETY DRILL This Friday we will be having a safety drill starting at 9:30am. Students and faculty/staff will be practicing the lockdown protocol.

7. PICK-UP SAFETY Please note the following requests about pick-up safety: -Please do not park along Canyon Road. It is difficult for vehicles exiting the parking lot to see oncoming traffic. Additionally, it is difficult for our crossing guard along Canyon Road to see oncoming traffic as she helps to get students across the road safely. It is also difficult for vehicles to see the crossing guard and students when cars parked on Canyon Road are blocking visibility. -There are a few parking spots on the north end of the main parking lot. There is a section that does not have any parking spots to allow buses to have the turn radius they need to get to the bus pick-up section. Please do not park in this section that is designed for the bus turn radius.

8. ZUPAS FUNDRAISER We will be having a school fundraiser with Café Zupas on Tuesday, October 8 from 4:00pm – 9:00pm.

9. SCHOOL PICTURE DAY School picture day is Tuesday, September 24. For more information, go to the following link: https://www.bellphoto.com/beginorder. Prepay code: CanyonCrestES24
