In an effort to ensure the safety of our students while attending after school events, we want to remind you of our Handbook policy which states that preschool children and students in kindergarten through sixth grade must be accompanied by an adult when attending athletic events, band or choir concerts, or any other extracurricular activities. The safety of our students is of utmost importance to us and we thank you for your support of this policy.

The 7th/8th grade CMS Robotic Eagles won Tournament Champions and The Excellence Award at the Delta Showdown last Saturday in McGehee. CMS Eagles partnered with the team from Sylvan Hills High School (first picture) in the Elimination Rounds to win the tournament. There were 15 teams from various High Schools and Middle Schools from around the state. The CMS Eagles ranked 3 out of 15 after the Qualifying Rounds. The team is now qualified for the State Competition in March. The Excellence Award is given to teams that interview well, have a good engineering notebook, perform well in matches, help other teams, have an interesting design, and impress the judges overall.
Students in the PreK PLTW program at Crossett Learning Center are exploring characteristics of living and nonliving things. By examining habitats, students are developing an understanding of what living things need in order to survive. They use the design process to sketch, build, and test an animal’s shelter, then reflect on their design. Students in Ms. Jones' classroom are learning about the engineering process by drawing a design for their birdhouse and then working together to build the birdhouse.
The Open House for both the old and new CHS buildings will be held next Saturday, December 15th, from 12-4 p.m.
Crossett School District will be dismissed November 19th-23rd for Thanksgiving Break! We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
Roads are clear and school will be in session today. Drive safely.
