Welcome to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and especially to Crossroads Elementary School.  We know transitioning into a new school can be overwhelming and hope that you find the process of joining our Crocodile family here in Gulfport to be an easy one.

Crossroads Elementary Student-Led Transition Program

Goal- Assist new military students in becoming familiar with the layout and systems of the school. Assist new students in feeling welcomed and comfortable in their new surroundings.

Our student ambassadors will be able to meet with any new students and will show them around for the first 5-7 days of school. They will then meet up with other new students and ambassadors at the monthly gathering. Student ambassadors have a specific agenda of areas to show the new student around.
