Ms. Crawford brings an extraordinary 42+ years of experience to the classroom. Her decades of dedication, passion, and wisdom have shaped countless young minds and inspired generations of students to reach their highest potential.
We are so grateful for everything she does for our 5th graders and our school community every single day.
For the safety of our youngest riders (Grades 4K through 2nd), bus drivers are required to see a parent, adult guardian, or older sibling VISIBLY PRESENT AT THE BUS STOP before releasing the student.
If an approved adult or older sibling is not present and visible at the stop, the driver cannot let the student off the bus and must return them to the school into the care of an administrator.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe! Please feel free to share this post to help spread the word to other parents in our community. ❤️
