Dear Mustang Parents & Caregivers, As we settle into the school year, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible progress our students have made so far. It has been truly heartwarming to see their enthusiasm for learning and the hard work they’ve put into their studies. Their resilience and dedication shine through, and I couldn’t be prouder of our school’s accomplishments. First and foremost, I want to remind you about our upcoming parent-teacher conferences during the week of October 21-25. This is a valuable opportunity for you to connect with your child’s teacher, discuss their progress, and collaborate on ways to support their learning. Your involvement makes a significant difference in your child’s education, and we encourage you to attend. In addition to conferences, our annual Character Parade will be the culminating activity for Red Ribbon Week and take place at 8:30 am on Friday, October 25. We invite all students to dress up following the guidelines in this letter. It’s always a joy to see the imaginative costumes and to witness our students’ enthusiasm as they showcase their costumes! Parents, caregivers, and guests are welcome to attend. Visitors will be required to sign in at one of our side gates before entering campus. After a tremendously successful return last year our famous HoeDown is scheduled for next month. Save the Date for Thursday, November 7 from 5 to 7 PM. Our PTO and staff have been working hard to top last year. Thank you to everyone involved in the planning. More information will be shared closer to the event. It is my hope Cracker Trail Elementary will continue to blaze a trail others will follow - we will do so with the help of our students, staff, and extended family. Keep doing your BEST!!   Sincerely, Mr. Rick Kogelschatz —Principal  Fall Character Parade On October 25th we will have our annual character parade. This year we have a few changes Students will have the opportunity to dress up as their favorite character however, it does not have to be a book character.
