Happy February Crofton Families,

We are halfway through the 2019-2020 school year. Our students are learning,
progressing and demonstrating kind and respectful behavior with the support of our
great staff and families. Thank you for your collaboration.
 Please be mindful of the cold weather and remember the doors do not open until        Mrs. Dessolene Davis,
9:05. Also, we encourage our teachers to take students outside for recess as long as   Principal
the temperature is 32 degrees and above so encourage your child to wear proper         Mrs. Stephanie Layden,
clothing.                                                                              Assistant Principal
Congratulations are in order as Crofton Elementary is considered a 5 Star ESSA
school! This is due to the academic progress and hard work that all teachers and       410-222-5800/Fax 410-
families do to support learning. Learning begins at 9:25; please have your child at    222-5802
school on time so they do not miss any part of the academic gains we can provide.
As always administration welcomes your questions, concerns and especially kudos! We
look forward to a successful second half of the 2019-2020 school year.

Respectfully,
Dessolene Davis, Principal
Stephanie Layden, Assistant Principal
