Hello CRSD families. As most of you know, we are saddened by the recent loss of our Transportation Director, Greg Ricks. We are exploring options for an interim to serve as a point of contact for our bus drivers right now. The position was posted today to search for a permanent replacement. In the meantime, bus drivers should contact either Mr. Ford or the principal they work closely with to communicate any immediate needs. Bus routes should run as usual. Please be patient as we do our best to make this transition. If you have any issues regarding transportation for your student, please contact the building principal.

Mientras tanto, los conductores de autobús deben ponerse en contacto con el Sr. Ford o el director con el que trabajan estrechamente para comunicar cualquier necesidad inmediata. Las rutas de autobús deben funcionar como de costumbre. Por favor, sea paciente mientras hacemos todo lo posible para hacer esta transición.

"Hello! My name is Maricela Avila. I am the English as a Second Language (ESL) Coordinator. I also translate and interpret for the district. I travel to all campuses and enjoy working and meeting everyone on each campus. I always learn something new from our fabulous staff at CRSD. I have worked for the district for seventeen years. I started as an ESL tutor at CRHS and then became the migrant coordinator. I taught second grade for 8 years and first grade for 2 years. I am now in my second year as ESL Coordinator and have learned a lot more. I love my district. I started my education here in 1991, graduated from high school in 2003, and came back to work in 2006. This is not just a working place. It is home, family, and friends. I now have two daughters who attend CRES and CRHS. I feel comfortable knowing my two daughters are safe and know our staff will always do their best to give everyone a safe environment. My safe place is home, my love is my family, and my hobbies are anything that involves being with them. They are my everything."
