Principal's Corner
Welcome Fall!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for joining us for parent teacher conferences. Our teachers loved sharing all of the incredible things our students are learning! Many thanks to our PTA for hosting a wonderful Book Fair, and thanks to parents for your support.
As a reminder, we will continue with the tradition of having a Halloween Parade. To limit distractions and ensure learning continues, the parade will be limited to students and staff only. For those choosing to dress up, please send students to school dressed in their costumes. Students will change out of their costumes after the parade. Those students should have a change of clothes available in their backpacks. Halloween expectations are listed below. Please watch for communication from your students' teachers regarding Halloween activities.
We are so thankful to you for participating in our Creekside PTA Spirit Wear Fundraiser (see below!). As you purchase Creekside SWAG (t-shirts, hoodies, zip-ups, etc.), any proceeds above the cost of the attire go toward providing a school shirt to EVERY Creekside Student. Thank you, PTA for giving every student an opportunity to show their Creekside Pride!
Thank you, also, for participating in our Foodie Fundraiser (also below)! We are excited to use the funds to help provide field trips and other learning opportunities to our students.
As we roll into the beautiful season of Fall, I am overwhelmed by the kindness, dedication, and care of our Creekside Community. Thank you for supporting your students, their teachers, and all of us at Creekside.
Stay Connected!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Schow
Creekside Foodie Fundraiser is Here!
Thank you for your support!
Halloween
Expectations:
- No weapons or fake weapons
- No masks
- No face paint of any kind
- No costumes that display words, images, or content that violate district or school policy
- If students are not in compliance, parents will be called and student will be brought to the office to change what's not in compliance (or have parent pick up, depending on offense)
District Guidelines for Halloween:
- Be Respectful: Avoid stereotypes. Be racially sensitive and culturally appropriate. Students may not dress up as an ethnic or cultural groups (i.e., a Mexican, a Geisha, a Native American, etc.). Skin color must not be altered in any way.
- Be Responsible: Recognize that students in a wide age range will see the costumes. Costumes should be family friendly. Masks may not be worn. Costumes may not be gory or threatening. No make-up is allowed.
- Be Safe: No hand-held accessories real or pretend (i.e., wands or weapons) are allowed. Crown or hats may be worn.
- Be Kind: Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political, or offensive.
- Be Understanding: Students may dress up as fictional characters if they follow the above guidelines.
- Be Timely: All celebrations should be limited in time and held at the beginning or end of the school day.
- Please note: Dressing up as Pocahontas or other Native American Leaders is inappropriate. Culture is not a costume. In respect to the Native American view, please advise students to refrain from dressing up as Native Americans (i.e., Pocahontas, Sacagawea, Sitting Bull, etc.). This is cultural appropriation and is unacceptable.
Thank you for taking the time to ensure students are following the guidelines with their costumes. We want to make sure that we maintain a fun and appropriate environment for all students. We also want our celebrations to be a positive experience that leads to a building up of community rather than division. These guidelines were shared with our school's Community Council and approved.
