• What is Crossroads' Open House
• An informal event that provides students an opportunity to pick up a hard copy of their schedule, walk their schedule, practice their locker combination, and drop items off in their locker. This event is a great way to help students prepare for the first day of school. Because of the informal nature of this event, teachers will not be available to meet.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL INCOMING 6th GRADE STUDENTS AND CAREGIVERS

Please bring your school issued laptop and charger from 5th grade to our Open House. At Open House we will collect these devices so we can issue each 6th grade student a new device once the school year gets underway.

Crossroads Middle School's suggested school supply list is different from the traditional middle schools in West Ada. Here are the suggested supplies 6th-8th grade students bring with them:

• Pens
• Pencils
