Crossroads Celebrates 25 Years - and a New Beginning

Crossroads Montessori and Science celebrated the end of 25 years as a year-round elementary school with an assembly this week. The assembly was attended by students, staff and families, and included a slideshow and presentation by Principal Tracy Buhl. Afterwards, everyone gathered outside for a treat and a group photo.

This also marks the beginning of a new era for Crossroads, which will transition to the traditional school calendar and away from a year-round calendar in the 2025-26 school year. Crossroads will continue to provide both the Science and Montessori programs as citywide magnets. 

The change to the District’s traditional calendar is based on data that show that many Crossroads students face attendance challenges compared to their peers at other schools, particularly in the summer months. These challenges also impact student academic outcomes.
