Crestline Elementary School launched its Crestline 101 efforts to answer the question, “What do I wish I had known when we started Crestline?”
The committee was created for those new to the school with the intent of helping them navigate the overwhelming challenges of starting a new school from a parent’s perspective. The main goal was to reach out and, with proper knowledge, engage and encourage new parents to feel welcome and become involved in the school early into their time at Crestline.
The Crestline 101 manual explained everything from how the carpool line works to what big events occur at the school each month. The manual even featured an alphabetical glossary of terms and a map of the school.
In September, the school hosted its first Crestline 101 brown bag lunch, which gave new parents an opportunity to ask any questions they had about the school in an informal environment.
