Principal's Post - A Weekly Note From Mr. Ortman
Happy Friday!
As we move forward with the end of the second trimester, the Mill Creek teachers are preparing student progress reports. The progress reports will be available online through the Parent Portal beginning Monday, March 30th at 1:00PM.
As always, thank you for your ongoing support. We miss your children and look forward to the day when we are together again.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Shawn M. Ortman
Principal
From the Desk of Mrs. Dowd
"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean." -Ryunosuke Satoro
In the face of unprecedented changes, the strength of the Mill Creek community has not faltered. We thank you for your offers of assistance and for your kind words as our teachers work to bring some normalcy and routine to your children's time at home.
To keep the "Creeker Connection" alive and well, we hope that you will take advantage of some of these digital ways of staying connected:
- Virtual CREEKERS’ Code Submission: As you are aware, CREEKERS’ Code is our schoolwide positive behavior program. When we catch students following the CREEKERS’ Code, they are given a ticket to enter into a weekly drawing. We are giving everyone – parents and teachers – the opportunity to virtually submit CREEKERS’ Codes when students are showing cooperation, respect, excellence, effort, kindness, empathy, responsibility, and/or support. Fill out the form located here and winners will be chosen at the end of the week.
- Creeker Storytime: We are sharing a video each day of a Mill Creek staff member reading to our students. These videos are not live, so they can be watched at any time during the day. Videos can be found here.
- Friday Funday Virtual Spirit Day: We will have a whole-school spirit day each Friday that we are not in school. Stay tuned for next Friday's theme!
Stay safe, and stay well.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lauren Dowd
Assistant Principal
