Tomorrow, March 20th will be a regular school day although there will be no district-provided bus or van transportation before or after school. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prepare for a safe return to school. Go Cards!
New date for Crete Public Schools' Family Learning Night: April 2, from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Middle School. Participate in hands-on activities as a family with topics for every age group including managing emotions, learning math facts, creating screen free routines, and exploring extra curricular activities. All families receive a gift for continuing the learning in their homes.
Is Crete a safe place for walking and driving? Join us for cafe and a conversation on public safety.
Due to the blizzard and high wind warnings issued by the National Weather Service, there will be no school or activities on Wednesday, March 19th. Heavy snow and whiteout conditions are expected. Please be safe, stay warm, and Go Cards!
Reminder: No school for all students tomorrow, Monday, March 17, 2025. Monday is a staff professional development day. We will see all students on Tuesday. Go Cards!
As of March 14, 2025, we have used four full snow/weather days. Because students receive three “free” snow days, they now need to make up one instructional day. Please note that if the district must close school on additional dates, our plan may need to be revised.
After exploring multiple options to ensure the best student learning experience, we are converting a scheduled “no-school” day into an instructional day rather than adding all missed days at the end of May. This approach will help us maintain meaningful instructional time and engagement. Our seniors’ last day will also be adjusted to meet the instructional hours set by the Nebraska Department of Education.
Student Make-Up Day-
April 22, 2025—Previously a no-school day, it is now a regular school day for all students and staff.
Thank you for your understanding as we strive to provide our students with the highest-quality education. Please contact your student’s building principal or the district office if you have any questions.
