Principal's Message
The safety of over 700 students and staff members is always top of our list. We do our best to teach rules and expectations to students, reminding them the reason for the expectation. Sometimes, the rule in place is not convenient. Sometimes we think it's "not a big deal just this once.' Sometimes, we think it's alright to 'break' a rule if there is little chance of getting caught. We talk to students about integrity and the desire to do the right thing, even when no one is looking.
We are asking for your support on this as well. Think aloud to your child. If you are upset at the length of the car line, say out loud, "Man, this line is long, but I'm sure glad I can get you picked up at the door." When dropping off students, show them the "No Parking, Standing, Stopping at Any Time" signs and share why you don't drop them off right there. You can even point out those who are not following rules and have your child explain why it is unsafe.
Unsafe behaviors affect others. We don't want your child or any other to get hurt. Please, take the time necessary to remain safe.

Kinder-4th grade parents:
The Technology department is needing some information from all PreK-4th families. In the event your student is asked to participate in temporary distance learning, we have put together a form that asks what resources would be needed for them to be successful while not in the building. Please complete the form in the TylerSIS portal as soon as possible.
Happy Holidays,
SD308 Technology Department

Attendance and Office Information
School Office Hours 8:15-4:00
Consistent attendance at school is a great factor in student achievement and success. If your child is unable to come to school due to illness or unavoidable appointments, please contact the Lakewood Creek office by 9:15am. Please leave a message on the Attendance Line with a phone number stating the child’s name, teacher, and reason for absence. If we do not receive a message or note from you, we will need to call to locate the child. We are sorry if this causes any inconvenience for you. If students are absent during the day, they cannot attend after school or evening activities (this includes music programs and after school clubs).
