Reminder: Parent Teacher Conferences are next week. Your child's teacher has sent home reminders- please call the Elementary office at (402) 826-5822 if you need to change your date/time.
As we continue to monitor the forecast, we have decided that tomorrow, Wednesday, February 19, 2025, will be a regular school day. We will continue to monitor the weather for Thursday and make a decision after we have the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. Crete Public Schools recognizes the right and responsibility of parents in the matter of school attendance. This leaves the discretion and judgment of parents to decide whether or not their student(s) attend school during inclement weather. Be well, and Go Cards!

Protective factors are characteristics of a community that help promote healthy development for all community members. Having positive social connections to individuals, service providers, and service organizations is one protective factor.
