Teachers, Parents, and Students will use the Learning Management System (LMS) Schoology for our Virtual Learning
Platform as well as our New Traditional Way of teaching. Our Principal will use Schoology to communicate with
parents once we go live.
These are two links for parents and students to get a jump start on preparing for the school year. We will
provide additional training information soon.

Welcome to Crossroads Elementary! We are committed to growing leaders through the 7 Habits of Highly
Effective People. Our school wide expectations align with the 7 Habits to promote an atmosphere of
leadership, respect, and responsibility to ourselves and others. Crossroads is a Title I school
currently serving 612 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. The students are currently served
by 42 certified staff members and 21 teacher assistants. The school offers a state of the art learning
environment with internet access in all classrooms to build leaders and innovators, who will be prepared
for the world marketplace. Most classrooms have four computers for student use during the
school day, as well as access to three computer labs. A variety of educational programs including
enrichment programs and online curricula provide students with a wealth of opportunity to excel and
achieve. Each teacher can better meet students needs as well with data warehousing resources developed
by district personnel. These resources allow teachers to profile the past performance of a student and
better meet the specific needs of individual students. We truly strive to achieve a culture of
learning and leadership, and to promote social and academic success for all students, regardless of their
circumstances.
Our mission at Crossroads Elementary is to inspire our students to reach their individual potential and
become productive leaders in a global society.
Our vision is that all students will perform at the proficiency level or above in all subjects by the end of
the school year.
Our education beliefs:
*Every child can and will learn
*Teachers deserve the right to teach.
*The education of a child is the responsibility of a family, school, and community.
*A structured, safe, and disciplined environment promotes a positive learning environment.
* Students must be assessed in a variety of ways to demonstrate personal success.
*Every student needs, wants and deserves to be treated with respect.
*An educational curriculum that promotes critical thinking and problem-solving is essential in order to
prepare students with the skills needed to compete in a global society.
