Craig Elementary - April 26, 2016

Hello Craig Community -- Mr. Stewart and Mrs. Weigand here to PUMP YOU UP for this year's Craig Field Day!

Our theme this year will be team spirit and all ideas are welcome (e.g., shirts, banners, flags). Once again, for your convenience, and to allow the students to have one big fun day with their classmates, teachers, and hopefully you as well, we will have all events in one day.

Opening Ceremonies will be held on Monday, May 2nd at 1:30pm, and will include the entire school. On Tuesday, May 3rd our Kindergarteners, 1st, and 2nd graders will have their Field Day experience. On Wednesday, May 4th our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will have their Field Day experience. During this time students will rotate around four events/locations during the whole day: Click here for schedule.

You may begin the online registration now by visiting the Craig Website and completing many of the necessary forms. Then, on Thursday, May 5th, come to the school between 10am and 6pm. Bring your child if possible. You will need several other documents to complete the registration process. Click here for our Kindergarten Registration Flyer which lists all of the documents you'll need to bring with you.

Thanks! We look forward to seeing our new Kindergarteners!
