Principal's Post - A Weekly Note From Mr. Ortman
Happy Friday Everyone,
We are holding a collection and distribution event on Thursday, June 18th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at Mill Creek. Last names A - M should come between 9:00 and 10:30 and last names N - Z should come between 10:30 and 12:00. Staff members will direct you to various drop off and pick up stations for the following materials:
- CB Laptops, iPads, and Chargers: As per previous emails from the district’s Technology & Innovation Department, ALL devices lent to students for Distance Learning must be returned on this date.
- School Materials: This includes any materials that are considered property of the school/district, such as library books, textbooks, safety belts, etc. This does not include consumable workbooks. Please place these items in a bag labeled with the teacher's name. Your child's teacher will reach out with more specific information.
- Yearbooks: If you ordered a yearbook for your child(ren), it will be available for pickup. (6th grade students will be receiving their yearbooks on June 15th.)
- Student Items: We still have many bags of student materials available for pickup.
- Lost and Found: Please refer to the pictures in this newsletter to see which items are currently in our lost and found.
- Other: If you have other items to drop off, such as teacher gifts or home and school receipts, we will accept those as well.
For your convenience, we will have collection bins located outside the Green Doors from June 16th to June 18th until 3:00 PM each day for the collection of school materials. Please note that this does not include laptops and iPads. This may be ideal for families who have nothing to pick up from school.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Shawn M. Ortman

Hi Creeker Families,
Last night, we celebrated the 6th grade class of 2020 with a virtual promotion ceremony. While it was not the traditional ceremony that we hoped for, it was a wonderful celebration of the accomplishments of our 6th graders and the memories that they've made during their time at Mill Creek.
Please join us in congratulating the class of 2020 and wishing them luck at Unami next year!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lauren Dowd
Assistant Principal
