Ranger Care now open
The
Crosby-Ironton
School District entered into
an exciting new venture on
Monday, Jan. 5 with the
beginning of Ranger Care at
the
Cuyuna
Range
Elementary School (CRES).
Ranger Care is a before and
after school childcare program for children in the
grades kindergarten through
sixth grade who attend our
school. This is a wonderful
opportunity for parents’ of
Crosby-Ironton
School
District to have a safe place
for their children to go before
and after school. Ranger Care
is a valued opportunity for
working parents. The school
district has received numerous requests from parents
about the need for before and
after school child care. As a
result of a need for some type
of “latch-key” program identified by parents, the school
district has been working diligently to create this childcare opportunity.
The typical day at Ranger
Care consists of having a
snack, structured activities
with the participants, indoor
gym time, outdoor activities,
homework help, free play,
library time, and computer
and i-Pad activities. The
Ranger Care provider also has
the opportunity to meet with
each child’s teacher when
looking at individual homework needs. Each day is very
structured with scheduled
activities by the Ranger Care
provider.
The school district recently welcomed a new leader for
its Ranger Care Program;
Kalley Duggan. Kalley has
had formal training in the area
of child care and is currently
attending school part-time to
become a specialist in the area
of early childhood education.
Ranger Care is available in
the mornings from 6:30 to 8
a.m. and again in the afternoons from 3 to 6 p.m. The
Ranger Care Program is located at CRES in the Family
Center Wing. The registration
forms and information can be
obtained on the school district
website, CRES office or
Community Education office.
Advanced registrations are
required. For more information feel free to call: Molly
Hoffarth, 545-8800 ext. 6976,
Kalley Duggan: 545-8800 ext.

Chemical Health
services available
to students
Chemical dependency is
an illness that affects everyone
in the family. It is estimated
that one out of every four students in the classroom is
affected by the chemical abuse
of someone close to them—a
close relative, brother/sister,
parent or friend. Should students experience worry and
stress without support and
education? They will function
better in the classroom if they
are less worried and preoccupied about crises in their home
lives.
During the 2014-15 school
year, Charmaine Donovan, a
Licensed
Chemical
Dependency Counselor, will
provide screening services and
support groups for students
enrolled in school at CrosbyIronton. Donovan has an
office on the Focus Unit at St.
Joseph’s Medical Center. She
has over 37 years of experience in the chemical
health/chemical dependency
field, 24 of those years working with youth in a school setting. She has worked extensively with students and families in the area school districts.
In the process of evaluating your student(s) for group
services, Donovan may call
you to discuss area resources
and to gather background
information necessary to work
effectively with your child.
She will help you find community services available to
you.
Sometimes groups may
not be an effective way to help
your child/children. In this
case, Donovan will call you to
discus alternative ways your
family may get help regarding
chemical dependency in the
family.
Contact the school if you
want your son/daughter to participate in Chemical Health
counseling services.
