Cross County School District is accepting Public Comments on our updated Ready for Learning Plan from April 15 to May 15. Comments can be made here: https://www.crosscountyschools.com/page/ready-for-learning-plan
Mrs. Sanders understands the importance of real-world life skills and that is why she organizes her Family and Consumer Science courses to provide students opportunities to leave her classes with applicable skills to use at home or the workplace. Her classes have something for everyone. Whether she is teaching students how to sew pajamas, make a delicious pan of cinnamon rolls, or how to balance a budget; she wants her students to leave high school better prepared. Students can even obtain a Serve Safe or CPR certification or participate in fun cupcake decorating contests. Did we mention Mrs. Sanders was a recent Teacher of the Month honoree?
Want to know more about our curriculum or programs? Give us a call at 870-588-3337. The school choice deadline is May 1.
