Group Picture Order
Parking Lot Safety
1) Do not run through the parking lot or the bus loop to get to a car. Wait for the car to come around or wait for an adult to walk you across the bus loop. And also to walk on the sidewalk and not in the street.
2) Wait for an adult in a vest with a sign to help you across the street. Always use the crosswalk.
3) As the weather gets nicer and more students are riding their wheels (bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc), you need to make sure that you are always careful and always watching out. Also, please get off your wheels on school grounds.
Thanks for your help with these matters!
Water Bottles
Thank you!
PE FIELD DAY
The end of school is quickly approaching and with that comes Field Day. Due to our current Covid guidelines Field Day will look a little different this year.
- Field Day will be taking place for three consecutive days during your student's PE 'Specials' time. This means that each class will have their own separate time on the field.
- 6th grade students will not be able to help work the stations, but I will choose a few students to help set up and clean equipment between classes.
- The dates and schedule for Field Day will be posted in a future Parent Newsletter.
- Since the Field Day will take place outside, parents will be invited to come and watch.
I know it's a bummer to not have our normal fun Field Day, but help me be excited and encouraging to our students for what we have planned. Thanks so much for your support!
Thank you

Coyote Creek Fun Run
Dear Coyote Creek families!
We are excited to kick off our Coyote Creek Scurry Fun Run fundraiser in 3 weeks on Thursday, 4/15. This year, fundraising is more critical than ever to provide learning resources and fund our school budget. We’ve asked our friends at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it more profitable, fun, and easy for everyone.
Here’s what all students can get excited about:
- Fun, engaging character development lesson
- A high-energy event to give our school a much needed boost of fun!
If your family feels it’s not in the position to financially support the school, that’s ok. Families can actually support our school by also SHARING about our fundraiser with friends and family online. Sharing IS supporting.
Key dates to remember:
Registration & Donating Opens - 4/1
Register on FUNRUN.COM, SHARE, & GIVE!
Fundraiser Virtual Kick Off - 4/15
Event Day - 4/29
Thank you for supporting Coyote Creek through the Coyote Creek Scurry Fun Run.

CCE Community Garden Club
The CCE Community Garden Club is ready to gear up for Spring clean up and planting! If you're interested in helping out in any way (weeding, watering, starting seeds at home, planting later, coordinating the summer tending schedule, etc.) please let me know! I'm excited to report that the bulbs, which some of our families planted a year and a half ago, are up and this year we'll get to enjoy them blooming as well!!
