I know I have talked a lot about our social media outlets in the past. However, I will remind you again that if you are not following the District on Facebook and Twitter and your student's school(s) social media outlets, you're missing out on some exciting news.

It's Homecoming week! I want to give a huge shout-out to all of our parents and guardians for allowing us to be a part of your student's life. We certainly could not do what we do without your continuous support. Athletics and activities play a significant role in supporting our student's social, emotional, and physical health. I believe these student opportunities are also a great way to bring a community together. Tonight at 7 PM, our Crete High Football team will take on Lexington. Please come out and cheer on the Cardinals as we wrap up this excitement-filled homecoming week. If you're unable to make it to the game, you can catch all of the action on our YouTube channel - bit.ly/cpsyoutube

It's been another fantastic week at CPS. Students were actively engaged in their learning, and numerous athletic and activity events took place. This week I received an anonymous Connect with Dr. McDowell ticket asking if we could publish our COVID numbers on our website by grade and building. I always appreciate hearing from our stakeholders, but please remember that I can't respond directly to you if you share a question or comment anonymously. However, I do want to respond to this question.

CPS school supply list has been published!
