It is September!
The weather is pleasant and shortly the school community will gather for the
Crossing Park School annual family BBQ. This year, the event has been moved to
the first week of September in hopes of taking advantage of warmer temperatures
and dry conditions (I hope).

Classes are in
full swing with approximately 1230 students enrolled from Kindergarten through
Grade 9. It is a busy, and sometimes chaotic, time of the year as students
settle into the routines of school. Athletics have started and the school’s
soccer teams have already played their first games. A variety of clubs and
activities have also commenced providing many opportunities for students to be
involved in the school community.
One of the most important tasks that a
school has is ensuring the safety of its community members – students, staff,
parents and visitors. It has become a challenge due to cars and vehicles using
the school parking lots as drop off points for students. The parking lot is clearly signed – do not drop
off students in the parking lots. There have been a number of
accidents as cars try to squeeze into the parking lot beyond its capacity.
Teachers and support staff can’t get in to park and are late for work.
Throughout the school day, the parking lot is restricted to school staff only.
Ultimately, safety of our students is a community responsibility.
As a school community, we can make the
2018-2019 school year a truly rewarding year for all students. If we positively
encourage the students of Crossing Park School to try, to make an effort and to
never say “I can’t”, then great successes can be achieved.
