2 out of 3 Ain't Bad!
Communication with Specials
I thank each of you for your help in addressing this need. It's not meant to add "one more thing" to you to do list, it's just meant to help us keep communication lines open.

A List of Dos and Don’ts As we approach the November 6, 2018 General Election
Administrators and teachers may lead civic participation activities to support registering to vote, facilitate voting opportunities for staff and students, and celebrate voting.
Public resources, no matter how small, cannot be used to advocate for or against an issue or candidate. Simply stated, this means that all government property should be used for governmental purposes; not for personal or private purposes – including political campaigns.
Do not use a school district’s email to advocate for or against an issue or candidate. School email may be used to inform staff and patrons of elections, dates, and times for voting early and on Election Day, and to encourage a culture of participation. You may certainly use your personal email account to advocate.
Do not use a school district’s social networks to advocate for or against an issue or candidate. School social networks may be used to inform staff and patrons of elections, dates and times for voting and to encourage a culture of civic participation. You may certainly use your personal social network accounts to advocate.
Do not use a school district’s computers, photocopiers, telephones, facsimile, electronic printer or any other machine to advocate for or against an issue or candidate. You may use your personal equipment for this use.
Do not use state or local government time or state or local government equipment to work on an individual’s political campaign. You may advocate for or against an issue or candidate before or after work hours.
Do not use public funds in connection with a political campaign.
Do not be demanding or discourteous. By local board policy, many school districts mandate that an employee’s participation in community, political, or employee organization activities shall be entirely voluntary and shall not: (1) interfere with the employee’s performance of assigned duties and responsibilities; (2) result in any political or social pressure being placed on students, parents, or staff; or (3) involve using the employee’s position or title with the district.

Watch D.O.G.S. Update:
The Watch D.O.G.S. program has been a part of Clear Creek for many years, but to help ensure that we're following the guidelines of the program we're making some changes this year. Specifically, we're asking Watch D.O.G.S. to select from three different opportunities to serve the school:
- AM student/staff support - car loop, in class support
- CCE cafe support - lunch duty
- Recess Coach - support all afternoon recess times
This will be a change for the dads that have participated in the past but one we feel is good for our school. To see the information that will be going out to the community next week please click this link:

To make this a reality I need YOUR help! Teachers, once you have looked at the document above, if you are willing to have a dad come to your classroom, please print out a copy of the form below, fill it out, and return it to me at your convenience. We will begin having Watch D.O.G.S in the building the week after conferences.
