Dear Crete Elementary Families and Staff,

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigated the unfortunate issues with the air-conditioning system at Crete Elementary.

We are pleased to share that we have identified and resolved the problem. Building conditions have been restored to an appropriate level for students and staff, and Crete Elementary will reopen on Friday, September 4, 2026.

We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process. The health, safety, and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kara Coglianese
Superintendent
