M.E.R.I.T.

"I hope this message finds all of you spending time with your families in the safest and most responsible way possible. I would like to offer some guidance on submitting MERIT applications. I am asking that all applications be submitted digitally to me via email. If you are a 4th grade parent from Cross Creek, your 4th grade teachers will submit a recommendation on your behalf. There will be no need to contact them requesting one. If you are from another school system, please email me requesting a form and I will send you the teacher recommendation form. You may then send it to a teacher of your choice. They may send the completed form to me digitally as well. The deadline for MERIT applications will be extended to May 1, 2020. Each family will receive a letter informing them of acceptance into MERIT or placement on a general education team. I look forward to receiving these as we prepare for an amazing school year in 2020-2021. Stay safe and be smart!
