Hello Creekside!
Tomorrow is a BIG day!
At 9:30, 3rd and 4th graders will take ACAP sessions 3 and 4. (ELA- These sessions cover reading, language, and writing.)
Our PTO has graciously purchased glasses for the entire school so that we can view the solar eclipse tomorrow afternoon. PLEASE send in your permission form for your child to go outside if you have not already done so. The eclipse is from 12:40-3:17, with the peak at 1:59. Hopefully some rain and clouds will move out of the way so our students can get a glimpse of the eclipse.

Creekside Families,
Welcome Back to the second half of the school year! We are excited to see everyone tomorrow. We had a great first half of the year!
- We began teaching using a new reading series.
- We began using iReady as our assessment tool to measure growth throughout the year in reading and math.
- Most students showed tremendous growth!
- State report card grades were released and CES scored the highest score ever, a 93A!
We are super proud of all the work that goes into making Creekside a fantastic school. Teachers, staff, PTO, ELAA, parents, relatives, and the community pour their hearts into our school and it is so appreciated!
Here are a few quick reminders:
Attendance is important but so is everyone's health. Please remember that your child must be fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT medication before they are clear to come back to school. Please do not send your child to school sick.
Please take a moment and write your child's name and their teacher's name in their coats/jackets, and other belongings.
Water bottles, Stanley cups, etc.
- If students must bring a water bottle to school, it should be a clear plastic or acrylic water bottle.
Cell Phones and Smart Watches
- Cell phones:
- Must be powered off and in backpacks before students enter the building
- Students may not carry phones in their purses, fanny packs, or in their pockets
- Must stay in backpacks until students are either on the bus or in their car
- Students' phone use on the bus is at the driver’s discretion.
- Students are not allowed to take pics or videos while on buses
- Smartwatches:
- May not be used to text or call parents, friends, or family during school hours
- Please do not send your child messages during school hours.
- If a phone rings/alarms in class or a student is found to be texting or calling on their phone or smartwatch, the device will be sent to Mrs. Rhinehart or Mrs. Martin.
- 1st offense- student may get at end of day
- 2nd offense- parents will be called to come to pick up the device
- 3rd offense- parent called and ISS
We are looking forward to a WONDERFUL second half of the year!
