PTA SPOTLIGHTS PARENTS, STUDENTS, TEACHERS & STAFF !!!
This year, CLES will "Take the Spotlight" in all we do! We are very proud that our students and teachers earned an A rating last year and are looking forward to building on that success. In addition to an outstanding educational program, we are thrilled that our school offers students many opportunities to shine both in an out of the classroom. CLES offers a wide variety of clubs to meet the varied interests of our students from American Sign Language (ASL) and Art to Chorus and Drama. We also host an annual talent show.
Whether you are new to our school, or returning, we welcome you to the CLES PTA family. The CLES PTA knows that a strong partnership among our families, school leaders, and community at-large is important for the success of our students and school. For this reason, we strive to offer exciting events and programs that engage our families, be an advocate and partner for continuous school improvement, be a resource for our parents, teachers and staff, offer opportunities to communicate and ask questions, and be active in our community. We want our families to feel welcomed and empowered to support student success. We hope you will support our effort through PTA membership. Please know, that while we welcome all volunteers, you are not required to volunteer in order to support/join PTA.

Crystal Lake Elementary was recently named a National PTA School of Excellence for the 2017 -2019 school years. National PTA’s School of Excellence program supports and celebrates partnerships between PTAs and schools that work to improve the educational experience and school environment for every child. As a National PTA School of Excellence, at Crystal Lake, families feel welcomed and empowered to support student success, and PTA is a key partner for continuous school improvement. The School of Excellence program provided guidance to assist our school in engaging families in school decision-making, and help our school build inclusive policies related to education, health, safety or the arts.
Becoming a National PTA School of Excellence began with the joint commitment of PTA and our phenomenal administrative team to work together to welcome all families, communicate effectively, support student success, speak up for every child, share power and collaborate with the community. Our school has successfully mastered these commitments and we applaud everyone for doing so.
The path to excellence is a journey, not a destination and we encourage your continued participation toward our goals, as this distinction places our PTA in the running to become a Phoebe Apperson Hearst Award recipient, which recognizes success in integrating family-school partnerships. We are extremely proud of the work that we have done to enrich the educational experience and overall well-being of all students.
Thank you for your commitment to our school community. Thank you for helping us reach this noteworthy milestone for our school and community.

Spotlight on CAREER CROCS !!!
Students in third, fourth, and fifth grades have the opportunity to learn about responsibility and organization through our Career Crocs program. This amazing program is run by our guidance counselor, Mrs. Farley, and one of our VE teachers, Mrs. Harvey. Both new to Crystal Lake Elementary, these two individuals have already poured their heart and soul into these kids through Career Crocs.
Students report for duty anytime between 7:25 and 7:30AM when they arrive on campus. Each students has a specific job and they are asked to "clock-in" and "clock-out." The school is counting on these students to help out in their assigned duty post.
"I really love helping out!" said Jayde, when asked why she wanted to be a Career Croc.
"I want to help the school and help the teachers" said Jayden!
Students absolutely love the opportunity to help out their school and teachers love the opportunity to not only have the help from these students, but also the lessons that the students learn through their duties!
