 Crow Island Staff Appreciation Week  
This May we have an opportunity to show our Crow Island School Teachers and Staff how much we appreciate them during Teacher Appreciation Week. 

Each afternoon during the week of May 2, fourth graders will announce the names of staff members who have won a gift card.  Last year, this event was a huge hit with students and staff! Thank you to all who have signed up to donate gift cards. 

All students can show their appreciation by participating in these activities:
Tuesday, May 3 –bring in a flower from your garden for your teacher
Thursday, May 5 –bring in a note/poem/drawing of appreciation.

SPEAKING OF THE 2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR....
Don't be left out of the loop: If you want to receive important back-to-school information from the PTO, it is crucial that you complete your child’s Infosnap registration by July 31st, 2016. 

The Winnetka District 36 office will provide Crow Island PTO with all directory and communication information (collected through Infosnap) at various points throughout the summer.  August 1st will be the last day that all data, including parent contact information, is collected from Infosnap before school begins.  You must register your students by July 31st to receive PTO announcements regarding lunch orders, back-to-school gatherings, and other important information.
