Dear Second Creek families,
Fall is definitely in the air! The trees are beautiful and the mornings and evenings are cooler. It really is such a glorious time to enjoy Colorado!
This week we will be holding parent-teacher connections (conferences) on Wednesday and Thursday until 7:30pm. We hope your time is great - connecting with classroom teachers, stopping by the book fair and sharing in the excitement of your student(s)' growth. We will also have Chromebooks set up in the hallway so that you can take this year's Fall Parent Survey. You will be giving us input and participating in a friendly competition for free lunch for teachers (see flyer below the movie clips).
We hope you enjoy the movies. They really show the fun and learning happening inside Second Creek every week.
Hope yo see you and your family this week!
Thank you for sharing your children with us!

Traffic Reminders
If you are a returning family to Second Creek, you know our parking lot is small and needs special care during morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Thank you for contributing to the overall safety of our staff and students!
If you are a new family to Second Creek, please read the information below carefully. Staff (and sometimes Commerce City police) are out during morning drop off and afternoon dismissal to make sure everyone is safe.
Parents, it is very important that we do not park on the bus lane before or after school. Blocking the bus causes delays that go beyond our school.
Here are a few reminders about our drop off and pick up procedures. You know that Commerce City police pops in once in a while and issue tickets to vehicles that are not following our safety rules... so please make sure you are doing what you can do keep our students and staff safe!
- No parked cars in the "no parking zone" - which is by the sidewalk from the beginning of the parking lot all the way to the front doors. This is a fire lane and also a bus lane. There is NO PARKING anytime. Only drop off or pick up. We have noticed many cars parked waiting for the school to open in the morning, blocking the bus and causing lines of cars that go all the way outside the parking lot. Please drop off your student and go - no parking.
- Same rules apply for pick up after school.
- Students can be dropped off at 7:30am for breakfast eaters and 7:35am for non breakfast eaters. We do not have supervision for students who are dropped off before these times.
- Students must be picked up at 3:30pm every day. We do not have staff to supervise students after school.
- Let us know if you need information about our before and after-school program.
- Please only use the handicap parking if you have a handicap license.
- The Staff of the Month parking is for staff only at all times.
- PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF DRIVEWAYS!
We appreciate your cooperation!
