Meet Betsy Knott, an Occupational Therapist at our Early Childhood Center, whose patience and collaboration helped a preschool student find his rhythm. When the team noticed daily overstimulation patterns, they didn't wait for a crisis—they created a proactive sensory break routine that gave this young learner the tools to self-regulate and communicate his needs. This is what happens when educators stay curious, stay consistent, and trust that the right support will unlock real growth.

What does inclusion look like when it starts early? Zainab Aljashee, GSRP associate teacher at Crestwood Early Childhood Center, witnessed it firsthand this year as preschoolers naturally welcomed classmates who looked or learned differently into their play. No prompting. Just friendship. This is the foundation we're building across Crestwood, one classroom at a time. When we prioritize belonging from the very beginning, our youngest learners show us what's possible.

What happens when families step into the classroom and see learning in action? Lead Teacher Leila Abuhadma at Crestwood Early Childhood Center created family involvement experiences that celebrated the completion of each study, inviting families to witness their children's growth firsthand. The result: families became true partners in education, students felt celebrated, and trust between school and home deepened. This is the kind of intentional connection that strengthens our entire Crestwood community.

Wishing our students, staff, families, and community a safe and joyful Independence Day.
In observance of Independence Day, all Crestwood School District schools and District Offices will be closed on Friday, July 3rd.

Saherah Shahin, GSRP Relief Aide and SACC Paraprofessional at Crestwood Early Childhood Center, knows that even our youngest learners thrive when trusted to explore and create. By designing an inventor-focused activity this year, Saherah gave preschoolers the freedom to build, design, and share their work with pride. This is exactly the kind of student-centered approach that strengthens engagement and confidence across all grade levels in our district.
