North Crawford School District

📋 The Federal Free & Reduced Meal Application: One Simple Form = Big Impact 📋

Even if you don’t think you’ll qualify, completing this form is very important for our school community.

Applications are available online in your Skyward Family Portal. Hard copies are available in both offices or can be printed off the district website. We’re also happy to send one home with your child—or even mail one to you.

Taking a few minutes to fill out the form helps your child—and helps our whole district!

As they do each year, the Crawford County Health Department is working with the North Crawford School District to offer the seasonal influenza vaccine to children at school at no cost. Flu vaccines will be offered at school on Friday, October 3rd, from 10:00-1:00. This year families will have a choice between receiving the vaccine via the FluMist nasal spray, or the traditional flu shot. Consent forms were sent home with elementary students, and are available from the middle/high school office. Forms should be turned in by this Friday, September 12th.

North Crawford MS/HS physical education students have been playing football, utilizing the weight room, and playing movement games in the first few days of school ! They are learning and working together. Daily exercise is good for the brain and learning.

Collaboration at its best! Students in Ms. Duncan’s class are building their classroom agreements to set the tone for a positive year, with Mr. Strong helping support the process. 🤝🌟

👟 3rd–5th Grade Run Club kicked off today. Smiles, teamwork, and lots of steps! What an awesome start!

Tech Tips for Families: What Type of Parent Are You?

Understanding your parenting style can help you shape how your child adapts to the online world. The “Digital Resilience Toolkit: What Type of Parent Are You?” from Internet Matters offers insights into four common styles—Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive, and Neglectful—and suggests practical ways to boost digital resilience:

Authoritative: A balance of boundaries and independence—ideal for guiding kids to safely explore online.

Authoritarian (“my way or the highway”): Can limit resilience—try listening more and letting your child make safe choices.

Permissive (“best friend” style): Without limits, kids may struggle with boundaries—practice setting rules and explaining why they matter.

Neglectful: Leaving kids to fend for themselves online increases risk—make time to connect, ask about their online world, and offer guidance.

We want to give a heartfelt thank you to a generous anonymous donor who has provided funds so that one North Crawford staff member can enjoy a free lunch each week! Gestures like this go a long way in celebrating and appreciating the amazing people who pour so much into our students every day.
We are also grateful for all those who find special ways, big and small, to show kindness and lift up our staff. Every act of appreciation makes a difference, and it never goes unnoticed.

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! 💙

ATTENTION: Due to Weston/Wonewoc Center unable to field a team, the JV Football game scheduled for tonight has been cancelled.

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.
