A big thank you to the Crawford County Alice in Dairyland Steering Committee for their generous donation to our school food service program!
We’re excited to share that this gift will go right back into our community through the purchase of locally sourced beef for our school lunch program. This not only supports our local farmers, but also ensures our students enjoy fresh, high-quality meals every day.
We are so grateful for your support! 💙

Tech Tips for Families: Grandparents’ Safety Guide
Grandparents play an important role in many of our students’ lives—and online safety extends to everyone who helps care for children. This week’s snapshot features the Internet Matters: Grandparents' Guide to Online Safety, with practical advice to support grandchildren in the digital world:
Match setup at both homes – Ask what parental controls are in place at your grandchild’s home, and use similar settings on devices you share.
Balance screen time – Set consistent usage routines and limits to support healthy habits.
Connect through digital – Ask grandchildren to show you their favorite apps or games. It’s a great way to bond and stay informed.
Know the risks – Be aware of issues like cyberbullying, inappropriate content, in-app spending, peer pressure, and sexting—and learn how to respond if something comes up.

Tech Tips for Families: Teens (14+ Years)
As children enter their teenage years, their digital lives expand—bringing new opportunities for learning, connection, and creativity, but also new risks and challenges. This week’s snapshot draws from the Internet Matters: Online Safety Guide for Teens 14+ to help you support them safely:
Stay involved and keep talking – Regular check-ins are key, even about tough topics like cyberbullying, sexting, or misinformation. Open communication builds trust.
Talk about their online reputation – Help teens understand that what they post online can stay around forever. Encourage them to create a respectful and positive digital footprint.
Protect their privacy – Teach them to use strong privacy settings on social media and manage personal information wisely.
Support responsible behavior – Encourage teens to think before posting and to treat others online with respect. Also, remind them about the importance of staying safe on public Wi-Fi.
Each teen’s needs and maturity are different—these strategies provide a strong foundation as they gain more online independence.

The North Crawford School Board will hold their regular monthly meeting tonight, Wednesday, August 20th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Large Group Room. If you're not able to be in person, feel free to view the meeting through our Facebook Live event. You can view the agenda through our district's BoardBook page by clicking the link https://meetings.boardbook.org/Public/Agenda/2150?meeting=703175. #TrojanPride

Tomorrow evening is our New Family Orientation Night at North Crawford Elementary. This event is designed especially for families with incoming 4K students or those new to our elementary school.
✨ What to Expect:
-A short sit-down presentation covering school logistics, routines, and procedures.
-A chance to meet other new families and connect with staff.
-Optional playtime for children with our 4K teachers (indoors or outdoors depending on weather).
We’ve learned that while Open House is a fun time for students to find lockers, drop off supplies, and share a meal, it’s not always the best setting for those “nuts and bolts” questions. Orientation night gives us the space to walk through those details together.
💡 Still considering North Crawford? You are welcome to join us! I’d be happy to give you a tour after the presentation and answer any questions you might have.

Helping Kids Navigate Technology Together
Technology plays a huge role in our children’s lives—both in and out of school. While it brings incredible opportunities for learning and connection, it also comes with challenges and risks that can impact our kids’ well-being.
This year, North Crawford will be running a Technology Awareness Campaign for parents and our community. Throughout the school year, we’ll share regular posts featuring snapshots, posters, and resources designed to help families guide children in safe and healthy technology use.
Each post will highlight a different age group, with practical information that matches what kids are experiencing at that stage of life. From early learners to teens, the goal is simple: to work together as a school and community to help kids thrive in a digital world.
Be on the lookout for upcoming posts, and please take a moment to read and share them—we’re in this together!

Extracurriculars & Youth Mental Health
Students who take part in sports, music, clubs, or community service are more likely to have stronger mental health, feel a sense of belonging, and develop lifelong skills. Even one hour a week makes a difference—helping reduce anxiety, depression, and risky behaviors.
At North Crawford, we’re proud to offer a wide range of opportunities for students to connect, grow, and thrive.
