Still seeking a few more Year-round 3rd grade students for Meyer Elementary
We have sent over 250 letters out to students for our year round school program which will begin on July 8. All of our sections are full at this time except for our third grade section at Meyer Elementary. Even though our application deadline has passed, we are still seeking a few more 3rd grade students to fill that section. If we are able to add a few more students at that 3rd grade at Meyer, we will do that as soon as we receive phone calls. For additional information, please contact Mrs. Western at 810-679-1016 or Mrs. Barrier at 810-679-1200. Thank You.
Both Cros-Lex Elementary Schools "Beat the Odds"

For the second consecutive year, the Michigan Department of Education has announced that both Cros-Lex Elementary Schools, Frostick Elementary in Croswell and Meyer Elementary in Lexington, are being honored as "Beating the Odds" schools.  

"We are so proud of our elementary schools," said Dr. Kevin Miller, Superintendent of Croswell-Lexington Schools.  "We know all the outstanding things we do for elementary students, but it sure is nice to be recognized by the state for our efforts!  Our teaching staff and aides are committed to excellence and we simply refuse to let any child slip through the cracks. 

Beating the Odds recognizes Michigan schools that are finding ways to overcome identifiable risk factors associated with low student achievement, such as economic status or race and ethnicity.  "This award is so well-deserved by the awesome staff and students at Frostick," said Julie Western, who was Principal at Frostick until July before taking over as the district's Director of Curriculum and Instruction.  "It speaks volumes for what happens each day for students and it is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of the staff.  Meeting the individual needs of each child to reach his/her full potential has always been the most important goal of Frostick and our district.  I am so proud of each and every person who has worked so hard to make this happen!" 

Meyer Elementary was honored for the third consecutive year as a Beating the Odds school. "Our ongoing results reflect the day to day commitment by our staff to support student achievement," said Donna Barrier, Meyer Principal.  "We challenge each student to perform to his/her highest potential. We have an amazing collaborative culture at Meyer. We are willing to do whatever it takes to help our students to be successful."

Cros-Lex Schools Named "Academic State Champions"

Croswell-Lexington Schools has been named as an Academic State Champion by Bridge Magazine in its online magazine released January 10, 2013.

Cros-Lex received top 10 recognition in the Rural Schools category as the #3 district in Michigan in academic achievement. Cros-Lex was ranked #20 overall of the more than 560 school districts in Michigan.  The next closest district in St. Clair/Sanilac Counties came in at #77. Cros-Lex was also awarded a state championship with a #9 state ranking in 4th grade scores.

For this year’s study, Bridge adopted a new, value-added ranking system which measures a school’s test scores adjusted for student family income, which is often a predictor of academic achievement. Essentially, Bridge’s Academic State Champions are being recognized for over-achievement, rather than achievement. 

“We are honored with the Academic State Championship award from The Center for Michigan," Cros-Lex Superintendent Dr. Kevin Miller said. “We know the great academic things our teachers, aides, and administrative staffs are doing for our students and it sure is nice when it's recognized statewide.”

A free online magazine, Bridge publishes in-depth stories about the most important issues and challenges facing Michigan written and edited by veteran, award-winning journalists. You can read more about the Academic State Champions at bridgemi.com. 

“This year’s Bridge Academic State Champions should all be immensely proud of this accomplishment,” said John Bebow, president of The Center for Michigan, which publishes Bridge. “These schools – whether they are large or small, urban or rural, rich or poor – are leading the way to a better future in our state.” 
Three Cros-Lex Schools Honored as "Reward Schools"

Three of four Cros-Lex schools have been honored as 2012 Reward Schools for either high student achievement or making tremendous progress in student achievement, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced.  Reward Schools is one of three new school designations that came as the result of Michigan receiving flexibility to the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act from the U.S. Department of Education.

Croswell-Lexington High School, Meyer Elementary School in Lexington, and Frostick Elementary in Croswell were the only schools in Sanilac County honored as Reward Schools. Reward Schools include the top five percent of schools on the annual Top-to-Bottom ranking of all Michigan schools.“To say that we are proud of our schools is an understatement,” said Croswell-Lexington Superintendent Dr. Kevin Miller. “Three of the four Croswell-Lexington schools achieved in the top 13% of all Michigan Schools in 2011-12 and all four were in the top 41%. We know how hard our teachers, aides, and administrators are working to help every student succeed, but it’s nice when the state recognizes that as well.”

All Croswell-Lexington schools made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) once again while statewide 262 districts (48 percent) did not make AYP.“This is a tribute to a great staff,” said Julie Western, Director of Curriculum and Instruction. “Working as a team throughout the district to focus our instruction, review scores, and remediate students who need additional help for continuous improvement is a big part of what we do every day."Reward School Information can be found atwww.mi.gov/rewardschool and Top-to-Bottom ranking information at: www.mi.gov/ttb.
