Welcome back!!!

We had an exhilarating first three days of schools and are thrilled to be back!  We are excited to start a new year at Crestview with all our students and give a special welcome to our new students and faculty members:

Scott Taylor-Intern Assistant Principal, Paul Jenkins-3rd grade teacher, Sam Mitchell- STS (Computer Specialist) and Lynette Jacobsen- Art teacher.

Our teachers are fantastic and have worked diligently to ensure students have a successful school year.  Teachers have spent many extra hours on behalf of our students to keep them safe and to prepare them for their future in education.  I really appreciate their professionalism and dedication towards education.

Community Council

We have a few openings on our Community Council this year!  If you are interested, pick up a ‘Declaration of Candidacy Forms’ in the office.  The forms are due on August 21 at 3:20. The council is a platform which involves the community in discussing critical issues, and voting on how Trust Land money is spent. If you are interested, we would love to have you participate.  The meetings are open for anyone to attend, if you choose to not to apply to be a member.  The meetings dates and times will be posted on the school website once we have all members established.
