National School Counselor's Week
Knowing that many might not know what the role of an elementary counselor entails, we thought we'd share a glimpse of what she does for us at Clear Creek:
- She teaches our students how they can make a positive difference in our school through their choices. She does this through one on one time with a student, small group lunches, or during her class lessons.
- She helps students when they might be struggling with anxiety, behavior or academics by meeting with them and empowering them through her guidance.
- She helps our students by being a member of our Student Improvement Team. She not only helps brainstorm ideas on how to meet the needs of the child, she volunteers to be hands-on with any approach we decide.
- She is there for our staff on a daily basis. Whether she just does a quick check in to see how your morning is going or meets with you to help you on a deeper level, she's always there to provide a listening ear and a hug.
- She's ready, able and willing to help parents with their student needs. She listens with her whole heart and makes it clear that she is there to help.
This is just a sampling of what Mrs. Schierts does for us at Clear Creek. We are so blessed to have her!

Kids Heart Challenge Update due to Snow Days
Due to our snow days, we will extend the Kids Heart Challenge through next week. This means that all donations will be due by Wednesday, February 13th. We have already met our school goal and are extremely grateful for all of your support in helping the American Heart Association and those with special hearts. Students will continue to jump and honor those with special hearts while learning about the importance of keeping their hearts healthy!
Make sure to ask your child about the different ways we have jumped during PE class!

Dental Screenings
Children learn best when they are healthy, and yet one of the most
overlooked and most important ingredients is oral health.
USD 232 will be offering a free dental screening on Thursday, February 21st to all students enrolled at Clear Creek Elementary in compliance with Kansas State Statute 72-5201. Oral health is an important part of children’s overall health, and is a critical component in the child’s ability to learn and succeed in school. If you wish to opt in for the screening, please send in the form that was emailed to all parents by Tuesday, February 19th. If your child does participate, a copy of the results of the screening will be sent home with the child.
