Turkey Grams will be sold until Monday, November 15. They will be delivered to students on Friday the 19th to their classrooms!
Bake Sale for Food Drive
Third grader Ashtyn Watts had a bake sale at her house, where she made and sold all kinds of yummy treats. She raised $100.00 to donate to the Harvest Food Drive at school! Way to go, Ashtyn! We are so proud of you!
Our Food Drive is still going on through the 12th of November. We encourage all students to bring non-perishable food items to donate. The grade who donates the most will receive a cookie party!

PICTURE RETAKES
Picture retakes are Tuesday, November 9.
It was a busy week at Spring Creek!
Mrs. Whitson's class made pancakes as they learned about chemical changes and liquids changing to solids, while Mrs. LaRue's class learned their cardinal directions! Later in the week, Mrs. LaRue's class did reading and writing by flashlight...because it was FLASHLIGHT FRIDAY!
Birthday Treat Reminder
Birthday treats must be store-bought, pre-packaged in their original sealed container. They must be brought to school by the student in his or her backpack (a great example is "Little Debbie" snacks).
No refrigerated or bakery items may be served.
Treats cannot be accepted at the office to be delivered to class.
Thank you!

SUBSTITUTES NEEDED
DEER CREEK HEALTH HUB
ATTENDANCE – TARDIES AND LEAVE EARLY
Please make sure, if you check your child in late to school or you check them out early, that you bring us a doctor's note. Any Tardy/check out early (without a note) is considered an absence and counts toward Chronic Absenteeism. After 10 days of absences (without a Doctor's note), the District will require you to attend an Attendance Hearing per State guidelines.
It is critical to your child's learning that he/she is in school each day. If you have an extenuating circumstance, please reach out to the office.
COVID NOTIFICATIONS UPDATE
Be sure to download the app--PBIS Rewards for Parents! On this app, you will be able to see your child's PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) points that they earn to spend on class items, end of quarter parties, and other fun items! You'll also have information on major and minor behavior referrals if they occur. This is a great tool for asking your child how their day went!! You should have received an email from PBIS Rewards. If you have not, please email stephanieandraszek@dcsok.org and I would be glad to send another, or I can send home a hard copy of the letter with login information specific to your child's account.
MEDICAL DOCUMENTS EMAIL
SCHealth@dcsok.org. This will enable your documents to be received and processed quickly and efficiently. Thank you!

STUDENT INSURANCE
“The Deer Creek School District has made arrangements to offer Student Accident Insurance for all students from K&K Insurance Group. We make this coverage available to parents for their children who are students enrolled in our schools. The Deer Creek School District does not provide insurance coverage or medical reimbursements to parents for injuries that occur during school, including those incurred during gym classes, recess, etc.
While this coverage is optional, it is important that you review the coverage options available to you and consider purchasing this coverage, especially if your family has health insurance with a high co-payment for doctor and emergency visits, or a high-deductible plan, etc. Go to the link below for the application and additional information.
