2022 Holiday Supply Drive

Crimson View Holiday “Supply” Drive

Hello Wildcats,

We are excited to announce that this year we will be hosting a Holiday “Supply” Drive for the Washington County Children’s Justice Center and The Dove Center.  This will take place December 12-16. 

Below is a Flyer, the Wishlists for both Centers, as well as a short video that will be shown to students with a very brief description of what these organizations do for our community. 

The students will be working together and with their parents to gather these supplies and can bring them to the school to drop off Monday-Friday, next week.  As the student body meets small goals along the way, they will be rewarded by the awesome FACULTY doing some really fun things! 

Some of the great rewards they could earn:

  • Our Kindergarten team play the Chubby Bunny Challenge!
  • First Grade will battle in a Jingle Bell Shake out.
  • Second Grade teachers with an unforgettable lipsink performance!
  • Third Grade with a festive JibJab!
  • Fourth Grade showing off their “Not My Arms” skills!
  • Fifth Grade drenched in silly string
  • Even teachers eating bugs!!
  • If we reach our goal of collecting 2,000 items, Mr. Baker and Mrs. MacIntosh will be turned into *Human Holiday Sundaes*, with ALL the toppings and don’t forget the sprinkles on top!

We look forward to helping the Children’s Justice Center and the Dove Center this year, and believe this will be a meaningful way for the students to focus their giving toward other children this holiday season. 

It’s always a great time of year to be a Wildcat! Thank you for all of the support!

  2. Dixie Direct Books will be available for purchase in our office from Nov 1 thru Nov 18. Envelopes will be sent home with each student. This should be a no pressure fund raiser. If you typically purchase a Dixie Direct book, then please purchase one through our school. We use these funds for things like literacy materials for our take home library or general supplies for our teachers. More information on Dixie Direct Fundraiser: https://cves.washk12.org/dixiedirect/
  3. SEP Conferences – Nov 14~18 – Book Fair – Dismiss at 12pm each day – Online scheduler will be available beginning on Thursday, Nov 3.

This is a big deal and our entire community of students, parents, teachers, school staff should each be proud of the amazing things happening at Crimson View. 

Thanks for your continued support! I’m proud to be a wildcat!

Oct 2022 Update

October Update … Halloween, Spirit Week Info

Wildcat Families —

Fall break was beautiful and we're really digging into the school year. I'm so impressed with all the awesome things our students and teachers are working on here at school. We are all trying hard, making great learning gains, and we're also having a good time!

Three Things from the school and one from Ironman to Share:

#1 – Submit something COOL – CLICK HERE – I'm always on the look out for the good things happening at our school. If you see something cool at Crimson View, or hear about something amazing that is happening (or happened) at Crimson View, or want to give a teacher, staff member, student, community member or anyone else involved here at Crimson View a shout out, please take a few moments submit the form linked above. THANKS!

#2 – Halloween – Ready or not … Halloween is almost here. Here's my annual info and suggestions regarding student costumes at school … 

  • NO weapons, extreme gore or immodest costumes – WCSD Policy 2200
  • If you have any question as to whether or not it will be allowed then DO NOT have your child wear it to school ~ Keep the school costume as simple as possible.
  • Students should be able to change themselves and use the bathroom without any help. **Practice at Home**

Costume Parade will start at approximately 9:15am around our track (Spread out, bring a chair and enjoy … it can be a long lonely walk on the back side)
**Because of limited parking at our school, consider carpooling with friends and neighbors.

#3 – Spirit Week – Oct 31 thru Nov 4

IronMan 70.3 World Championship will be held here in Washington County this coming Friday and Saturday (Oct 28 & 29)

There should be many opportunities to get involved – here's one for kids!

EGG DROP – Info

EGG DROP – INFORMATION

Wildcat families!

Egg-citing news! Our annual Egg Drop fundraiser was a huge success, all thanks to your amazing children and their supportive and generous family, friends, and neighbors!

We are looking forward to seeing all of the engineering skills the kids have been putting into their Egg Aircrafts this week. Every single class in the school returned enough envelopes to be upgraded to the “First Class” supplies, so we are hopeful that many eggs will survive the big take off.

After a rainy Egg Drop last year that took us indoors, we are looking forward to inviting families back for a beautiful and memorable day! 

The schedule will look like this:

  • 9:30am-10:30am:  K-2 Egg Drop
    (Students in K-2 who purchase school lunch will have them delivered to their class this day, after their Drop)
  • 10:45am-11:45am: 3-5 Egg Drop
    (Students in grades 3-5 who purchase a school lunch will need to pick up their lunch in the lunch room at 11:45am before school dismisses)

Students will be staying together with their grade/class and rotating to different stations around the back area of the school.  They will have the chance to watch their egg drop and see if they were able to protect it from being scrambled. 

We invite parents and families to rotate around with their children or bring a chair/blanket and mingle with friends and neighbors in our Crimson View community.  With our shortened schedule, we will not be having a picnic like in years past. There will be donuts provided for the kids to celebrate all of their hard work.

Please find your student’s class when you arrive and let their teacher know you are there.

If you would like to check your student(s) out, please go through the office to do so. Students are expected to stay with their class instead of getting checked out to be with younger/older siblings.

Thank you for all of your support of our incredible school and teachers!

SEP Online Scheduler and Parking Lot Safety

Wildcat Families —

I wanted to write a quick note and share some important information.

First, we have our first SEP Conferences scheduled for Sept 7 & 8. They will be scheduled after school from 4~7pm both evenings. You should expect your child’s teacher to share the following:

  • Current benchmark grade level expectations in LA and Math and where your child is performing related to the benchmark expectation.
  • A goal or plan of what your child’s teacher will do to help your child
  • Resources or ideas for what you can do at home to help your child

We value parents as a critical partner in the education process and hope you’ll be able to participate with us next week. 

You can now schedule your SEP appointment time by going to our school website and clicking on the “Online Scheduler” link under the School Announcements section of our school homepage. (https://cves.washk12.org)

Next up … Arrival and Dismissal Parking Lot Safety … we need your help! If you are dropping off or picking up your student each day please review the map and guidelines found on our school website and watch the video below.

CLICK HERE for the guidelines posted on our website.

Our only goal is for every student to arrive at school safely and to get home each day safely. Let’s always remember that!

Early Release Reminder and Lunch Update

Hi Wildcat Families,

We’ve had a great few days! It’s been wonderful to have students back in school! Everyone is looking sharp with fresh haircuts, cute outfits and spiffy new shoes!

Thanks for being flexible with the schedule this week. Having the early release each day gives our teachers the opportunity to meet individually with every child in their class to get some beginning year baseline data. It also helps us know exactly how to help your child the very best.

I hope to clear up any confusion you may have regarding lunch on early release days or on a Friday. We received guidance that any student who would like to eat a school lunch needs to have the opportunity to do so during our school day. On early release days each grade level will be scheduled for about 15 minutes of eating time. Each grade level is handling this a bit differently, but every student will have the same opportunity to choose one of the following:

  • purchase a lunch from the school
  • bring a home lunch, or snack
  • don’t purchase or bring anything and wait to eat until they get home (12pm dismissal)

Please make sure that your student knows what you expect them to do with regards to lunch, especially on these early release days.

If you have additional questions, please ask!

Thanks again for your continued support! We’ve started strong and hope to keep that momentum rolling! We’ve got the best students, the best parents, and the best teachers and staff!

Let’s go Wildcats!! This is how legends are made!

Adam Baker (Principal)  |  adam.baker@washk12.org  |  435-634-7000

Looking Ahead:

  • Aug 15~19 – Early Release – Individual student testing (12pm)
  • Aug 19 – Kindergarten Open House
  • Aug 22 – Regular Schedule Resumes – 1st Day of Kindergarten
  • Aug 26 – PTA Walk/Bike/Scooter to School Day

December 2021 – Update

Wildcat Families —

We’re definitely enjoying the magic of the Holiday season here at Crimson View. It’s been so much fun to have so many visitors coming and going and sharing favorite family traditions or stories. Thank you for making time to share with our students. As a community of learners we appreciate everyone who has so willingly given of their time and of their experiences. We’re better together!

We’re in the middle of our Penny Wars competition! We have passed the $4000 mark, but still short of our goal of $6500. Of course, I’m not terribly excited to reach our goal … if you haven’t heard, I’ve agreed to KISS A PIG if we hit our goal. Something that I’ve intentionally left off of my bucket list … but am willing to do to help motivate our students and help us achieve our goal. I have loved hearing stories from a few of our students who sold treats or having a lemonade/hot cocoa stand to help raise money to donate. The power of our learning community is pretty amazing!!

We’re also enjoying some Christmas fun these final few days before our break. CLICK HERE for the information flier. 

  • Dec 15 – Winter Wear (Hat, mittens, scarf, etc)
  • Dec 16 – Christmas Spirit (Christmas Colors)
  • Dec 17 – Holiday Movie Fun (Dress like your favorite holiday movie character)
  • Dec 20 – Jingle Bells (Christmas accessories)
  • Dec 21 – Christmas Sweater or PJs

Check our school calendar (https://cves.washk12.org/calendar/) to keep current on all things Crimson View!

Have a magical Holiday Season, a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
