Senior Girls Track - State Runner Ups!
Congratulations to the Senior Boys Track Team for winning the 4A State Track & Field Championship!!
CES Show Choir, led by music teachers Josh Wayne and Kelly Savage, presented a super performance of the show Aristocats at the City Auditorium tonight! Thank you to the parents, grandparents, friends and community that attended. Your support is appreciated very much.
Crossett Middle School would like to thank the many parents, grandparents, friends and students that attended their Hour of the Arts program that was held on Thursday, April 19. Attendees had the pleasure of hearing the elementary choir sing the National Anthem. Also those attending were able to view different art and science projects along with hearing 5th-8th grade choirs and 6th-8th grade bands perform. Others performing included the Cheerleaders and Juniorettes. Thank you for supporting our students and teachers and making the event a success!
Rotary Club members enjoyed a guided tour today of the new CHS construction site. Excited and thankful for the new facility.
Thank you to First National Bank of Crossett for providing grilled hamburger plates today for our Administrators and Administrative Professionals. We appreciate the support of FNBC and all the employees who cooked and delivered this great lunch for our staff.
The Crossett Middle School Engineering Eagles Robotics Team (5th & 6th grade students ) provided the program for Rotary today and they did an exceptional job. They just returned from Council Bluffs, Iowa where they placed 16 out of 69 teams at the U.S. Create Open Competition. The team is coached by Melissa Martar.
Congratulations to Ila Toon, CHS Senior, who was honored today as a Junior Rotarian of the Crossett Rotary Club!
So excited today that CMS' VEX EDR Robotics team is competing at the 2018 CREATE U.S. Open Robotics Championship in Iowa! We wish them the best today!
Bus riders at Crossett Elementary School, whose parents have been confirmed to be at home, will depart school at 11:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Due to a power outage affecting only Crossett Elementary School, we are cancelling classes only at Crossett Elementary School and parents may pick up their children beginning at 10 a.m. For students at Crossett Elementary School this will be AMI Day 2.
For students who ride buses a follow-up announcement will be made as to their departure time.
Any student that rides a bus and their parents cannot be confirmed to be at home or are not picked up by their parent, will stay at school with their teacher and will be taken home at the normal time at the end of the school day.
Again, only Crossett Elementary School is affected. All other campuses will be open and run a normal schedule.
Crossett School District will be open and buses will run at normal times.
The Crossett School District plans to be open tomorrow. However, our forecast calls for 3-5 inches of rain overnight, which may be significant enough to cause some local flooding. The roads will be inspected in the early morning hours, and if they are adversely affected, the district will consider two options if needed. The first option will be a two-hour delayed start to school. If this occurs, pick up times for buses will be pushed back two hours to coincide with the delayed start of school. The second option would be to cancel classes and use our second AMI day. Again, Crossett Schools are planning to be open tomorrow, but we wanted to share these possibilities for planning purposes. Any announcement for a delayed start or cancellation will be made at approximately 6:00 a.m. If no announcement is made by 6:15 the district will be open at the regularly scheduled time.
Volunteers are needed to work Project Graduation on May 18th from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. We need people to work the games, security, food and check in/check out. If you cannot come that night but would still like to help, you can assist with fundraising (collecting prizes and donations), decorations or picking up food donations that day.
To sign up you may contact Susanne Ballard at ballard@uamont.edu or pick up a form in the office at CHS.
Registration for Pre-k will be April 2-6, 2018. Children must be 3-years-old by August 1 to enroll. Applications are available in the front office at Crossett Learning Center or may be printed from the website. Packets can be found on the District website in the Documents folder at the bottom of the page, then in the District Forms folder. We look forward to having your children in our Pre-k program.
Congratulations to Cole Moss and Jareth Concannon for being selected as Jr. Rotarians of the Crossett Rotary Club!

School Choice Announcement
The Crossett School District is accepting students under the Arkansas Public School Choice Act 560 of 2015 amended Ark. Code Ann. § 6-18-1901 et seq. The act went into effect March 20, 2015. Parents of students not residing within the boundaries of Crossett School District, who would like for their children to attend Crossett Schools under Arkansas Public School Choice Act, can obtain a formal application online at www.crossettschools.org under the Documents link or from the Superintendent's office located at 219 Main Street, Crossett, AR 71635. Applications will be accepted until May 1, 2018. Parents will be notified by July 1, 2018, of the decision to accept or deny their request.
This afternoon we found a vague threat of violence towards our students written on a bathroom wall in the High School. The threat was not directed at any individual or individuals. Once the threat was found, we initiated the steps necessary to ensure our students’ safety. Within a matter of minutes, the appropriate authorities were notified, and a full investigation is being made. Law enforcement immediately responded and remained present to ensure student and staff safety and to assist with the investigation.
Crossett School District will be open today and begin at the regular time. Roads were inspected this morning and because flooding was not found, buses will run their routes at their normal time. School will be open today. Please be safe as you travel.
