Mark Your Calendar! Crawford ISD school starts on Thursday, August 24th!

Parents and students- Mr. Pritchett and the counselors would like to let parents and students know that all schedules that were showing in Parent Portal over the weekend were computer generated. At this point in the process, parts of the schedules were generated based on openings from last year's classes. Over the next two weeks, student schedules will be adjusted as classes are moved and balanced. There are many steps left in the process before schedules are considered complete.

Crawford ISD has 2 openings for Cafeteria Workers! Contact Superintendent Dr. Kenneth Hall at khall@crawford-isd.net or by phone at 254-486-2381
