A blue Crestwood School District graphic reminds families to prepare for the new school year. Large white and gold text reads “Back to School,” with a gold box announcing “School Starts August 24th.” The graphic encourages families to complete the MiStar ParentConnection Back to School Check-In now and displays the Crestwood Back to School Check-In and MiStar logos. The ParentConnection website address, https://sisweb.resa.net/MISTAR/Crestwood/, is prominently displayed across the center. Along the bottom are the logos for Crestwood High School Chargers, Riverside Middle School Ravens, Crestwood Early Childhood Center Caterpillars, Crestwood School District, Highview Hawks, Hillcrest Huskies, and Kinloch Koalas. The graphic serves as a reminder for families to complete their required online back-to-school registration before the first day of school.
