PFA
Parent-Faculty Association
We are a very active PFA that supports Crestview's students, teachers, and staff. At our meetings, we plan activities that will benefit "our" children. Our focus is giving the students the "extras" of a good education, but we cannot do this alone! We need your help. Ways you can help: attend meetings, volunteer and attend activities, & offer ideas!
Our goal is to provide meaningful and community-building experiences and resources for Crestview with the goal of keeping the school a wonderful learning community. Things we do:
- Provide teachers with $100 each to purchase supplies and resources for their classroom.
- Host events such as Jammin' on the Lawn, Staff Appreciation Week, & the 6th Grade Pinewood Derby.

Become a PFA Volunteer
Our PFA runs on volunteer power; without it, many of the enriching programs the PFA sponsors would not exist. When you volunteer, you make a positive difference in your child’s learning environment and help build a stronger school community. You also meet other Crestview families, get to know teachers and administrators better, and have fun! There are no “members” and there are no “membership dues.” You are already a part of the PFA and we hope that you will participate in ways that work for you and your family.

Visitors
VISITATION OF SCHOOL
After the first two weeks of school, we welcome your prearranged visits in your child's classroom. Please contact your child's teacher to set up an appointment for a prearranged visit.
For your child's safety and education, we cannot allow family members/guardians to walk into the classroom unexpectedly or meet with the teacher without an appointment.
Family members/guardians who wish to eat lunch at school with their child(ren) MUST call the school office at (317) 964-4200 and make a reservation by 9 a.m. of the day they wish to visit. Background checks are not required for lunch visits, but the family member/guardian is only permitted to sit with the student at a designated visitor's lunch table. Lunch visitors must go to the cafeteria upon arrival and depart immediately at the end of the lunch period. Lunch visitors may either purchase a hot lunch from the cafeteria or bring a sack lunch from home. Please do not bring in food from a restaurant and please refrain from bringing large bills (greater than $5) to make cafeteria purchases as the cafeteria does not maintain large amounts of cash on hand for change.
All visitors must sign in at the office, present a valid ID, wear a visitor badge, and will be escorted to their destination.
Volunteers must pass a limited criminal background check, and may only be in the school for the agreed upon time to accomplish a task. Volunteers are not permitted to go to other parts of the school or participate in activities that are not part of the prearranged visitation plans. Visitors and volunteers may not discipline students on school grounds. If a visitor or volunteer sees a problem, they should notify the nearest school employee.
Thank you for your support in providing a safe environment for our children!
