Crossroads Parent Connection: ILEAD: 1/22

Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day

Hello Trailblazer Families:

BE PROACTIVE:

Habit of the Month- January Picture Challenge

Each month we are challenging Crossroads families to catch their students following our habits of the month. See below for more information regarding the January Habit of the Month and be sure to send pictures to Nickie.spencer@bullitt.kyschools.us for us to showcase our students being outstanding leaders!

In the months of January we are focusing on Habit #5: Seek First To Understand Then To Be Understood

Students that Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood listen before they talk. They value what other people have to say and their feelings. These students try to see things from the viewpoints of others. They listen without interrupting. They have confidence when voicing their own ideas and look people in the eyes when talking. Try to catch your student being a good listener or having empathy for others!
Updated School Calendar can be located HERE. Monday, June 4 is currently the last day of school for students. Please remember, February 20 is now a day off due to the special election

Our Crossroads Leadership Day is Friday, March 16 from 9:30 - 12:00. If you would like to tour our school during a regular instructional day to see how the Leader in Me has impacted our students, please make sure you come in and fill out a background check with Ms. Stacey in the front office so you will be able to attend. The background check is good for two years and costs $10. Also, the last day of school will be our annual Field Day, and you will need a background check to attend that, as well.
Since we have been out of school 5 days, the MAP assessment has been shifted back a week. Your child's teacher will inform you of specific days that your child will be testing. MAP will now be January 29 - February 8.
