WE LOVE OFFICER WHITE!

Last week, we celebrated National School Resource Officer Day with our very own, Officer Glen White! We asked some of our Crestline students to describe what Officer White means to them—Check out the fun video via the link below! 

MEET OUR COUNSELORS

Crestline is blessed with not one, but TWO incredible new counselors—Mrs. Belisle and Mrs. Wells! We recently celebrated them during National School Counselor Week and thought it would be fun for you to get to know them a little better. These wonderful counselors are already making a positive impact, providing support, guidance, and encouragement to our students every day.

SPRING BREAK FOOD DRIVE

COUGARS SERVE! We will hold a Spring Break food drive March 3-7 to benefit our sister school, Brookville Elementary. We will be collecting non-perishable food items for Brookville students who are food insecure. Many of these children depend on the school for food and will be without that resource during Spring Break. 

Please watch your email for more details.


It is time to begin enrolling students for the 2025-2026 school year!

Kindergarten and New Students: If you or a neighbor will have a new student (including Kindergarten) attending Mountain Brook Schools in August 2025, enrollment is now open for the upcoming year. 


Please visit https://www.mtnbrook.k12.al.us/80699_2 to complete the two-step process for enrollment.


Returning Students:On February 3rd, Mountain Brook Schools began enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year. As a parent of a currently enrolled student, you should have received an email containing a student specific link required for data verification for the upcoming year. This link will allow you to verify your child’s demographic information and permissions, as well as your child’s contact and check-out list. The primary contact listed for each child will receive the email. Each family will receive one email per child. We ask that you make every effort to complete this brief process before March 5th.Only students with verified information will be placed on a class roster or receive a class schedule for the upcoming school year.

CRESTLINE PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAM

Crestline is currently accepting peer model applications for the 2025-2026 school year. The program offers an inclusive preschool class for 3 and 4 year old children. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, communication and cognitive development of both typically developing young children and those with special needs. 

The program was developed to provide opportunities for children with disabilities to receive instruction and services in a typical preschool classroom. Peer models should demonstrate appropriate social, behavioral, and communication skills.
