Crestwood is Leading the Way in Literacy!
We are proud to share that the Crestwood School District has been recognized by Governor Gretchen Whitmer and State Superintendent Dr. Glenn Maleyko as one of just 17 Michigan school districts leading the way in advancing the Science of Reading.
Crestwood has been approved to participate in the Michigan Department of Education’s LETRS Leaders District Success Partnership, supporting our commitment to providing elementary educators with high-quality, evidence-based professional learning focused on how children learn to read. Through LETRS training, K-5 educators, coaches, and administrators deepen their knowledge of essential literacy skills, including phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
“The Crestwood School District is deeply grateful to be part of the LETRS leaders district success partnership with the Michigan Department of Education,” said Superintendent Dr. Youssef Mosallam. “This funding will enable us to expand and enhance our literacy programs, ensuring that our students develop lasting skills that will benefit them throughout their academic journey.”
This recognition reflects Crestwood’s continued investment in our educators and our commitment to ensuring that every student develops the strong literacy foundation needed for success in school and beyond.
We are proud to see Crestwood School District recognized at the state level for helping lead this important work!
