Pay It Forward Week!

We want to help build a supporting community and what better way to do that then to support our local teachers. With much of our children heading back to school we thought we would start our Pay it Forward Week in honor of our teachers.

For this week, purchase a drink chip for a teacher, and you’ll get 25% off one drink.

Drink Chips purchased will be taken and distributed among teachers in the community next week.

Students will pick up their laptops in the library and get access to their log-in information, schedules, locker assignments, and combinations in Sapphire. They may print them out and practice their schedules and lockers until noon.

Crawford Central School District outlines specific cell phone and electronic device guidelines in individual school student handbooks under Board Policy 237.

While general recommendations advise leaving phones at home, students who bring devices MUST keep them turned off and secure in lockers during instructional hours.

General Guidelines Device Security: Students are fully responsible for their personal devices; the district is not liable for lost, stolen, or damaged phones. It is highly recommended not to share locker combinations with anyone. Sharing lockers is not permitted. Every student is provided their own safe and secure locker.

Classroom Expectations: Phones MUST remain out of sight and turned OFF during instructional time, hallways, and non-permitted areas.

Building Handbooks:
Specific rules, progressive discipline steps, and potential confiscation protocols vary slightly by level (such as elementary, middle and high school) and are detailed in each school's annual handbook.

Where to Check for Updates:
Review the active codes and documents via the Crawford Central School District Policies portal.

While supply sales are going on, you MAY CONSIDER purchasing the following general items for your child to assist with being more successful in school and at home.

1. Pencils, pencils, and pencils. A new box for each marking period isn’t a bad idea. If your child prefers mechanical, then be sure to buy lead.

2. Colored pencils/hand sharpener

3. Agenda book or 1 subject notebook if your child needs help with organization and writing down homework assignments.

4. 3-ring binder or plastic/fabric file pouch for organization

5. CLEAR (not mesh) book bag IF your child desires to carry a bag from class to class. (No exceptions)

6. Gym: shorts/sweats/leggings, t-shirt, sports bra, socks, tennis shoes, deodorant, brush/comb, hair ties, small hand towel, draw-string bag. (All students are required to change.)
