📢Attention Cross County School District Community:
After the Christmas concert tonight someone ran over the main water valve at the high school and we can not guarantee water will be restored tomorrow. As a result there will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, December 15, 2023. Please plan accordingly, and thank you for your understanding as we work to resolve the issue. We are sorry for the inconvenience and receiving this message at such a late notice. This day will be made up on Friday, February 16th as AMI Days are no longer permissible.
High School semester test review will be held on Monday and the semester tests will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Updates will be provided as we have more information.

First come, first serve! Contact Mrs. Nikki Willams at the high school to buy one!

CCE Grinch Day!

It's time for the Thunderbird Trophy to be passed along to another great Cross County staff member! Mrs. Shayna selected Mr. Hooper as the next recipient. Mr. Hooper is the College and Career Director at the high school. Mrs. Shayna passed the trophy to Mr. Hooper because she truly appreciates all he has done for our school from getting the new Rooms app up and running to taking students to visit different colleges. Congratulations Mr. Hooper! #tbirdlife #ExcellenceInAction

December 2 was Special Education Day and while we weren't in school on Saturday, we wanted to take today to celebrate the incredible dedication our our special education teachers and the vital work they do to support our students.
Special Education Day commemorated the signing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) into law in 1975. This landmark legislation marked a turning point in ensuring that all students, regardless of ability, have the right to receive and free and appropriate public education.
Although Special Education Day has passed, let's carry the spirit forward and continue to champion an environment where every student feels supported and empowered.

I love smiling, smiling is my favorite!
