Principal's Update
August 3, 2020
Dear Families,
We want to welcome our new and returning Crawford families to the 2020-2021 school year! We know the start to this school year is not quite what any of us expected, but we assure you we will make the most of our digital learning experience. Our staff has been hard at work learning new ways to teach their content.
We started sending a weekly newsletter from the admin team during the spring school closure and will continue this communication with families this school year too. Check out Mr. Jones' video message with more information.
Sincerely,
Mr. Jones, Mrs. Piatt, and Mr. Taylor

He also taught reading intervention courses and served several years as the PASS teacher, working with students with behavioral needs. Mr. Taylor spent two years as Crawford’s Instructional Behavior Specialist/PBIS coach before transitioning into the role of Administrative Dean in 2019. He is married with a two year-old son.
Crawford Cruise Drive-Thru Orientation
Since we cannot have a typical back to school orientation, we have planned our Crawford Cruise drive-thru event. Cars will follow a designated route for families to pick up instructional materials, student forms, Chromebooks, and see teachers. We highly encourage you to come at your designated time. If you are not able to, we will have a pick up time on Friday, August 21 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Please note: Unfortunately, this is not a time for questions/answers or socialization due to the number of cars coming through campus and health guidelines.
Team Assignments
Team letters will be mailed out to families by August 7, 2020. Look for these in your mailboxes the week of August 10.
Please double check that your contact info, including mailing address, phone number and email address is correct in Infinite Campus to ensure you receive all communications from the school and district.
Login to the Parent Portal at fayetteky.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/parents/fayette.jsp or go to apps2.fcps.net/ic-support/ if you need help setting up or logging in to your account.
