Summer Office Hours
Meet the New Buccaneers!
Ms. Tirpak ~ Intervention & Social Thinking
Hi! My name is Nadine Tirpak. I am so excited to be joining the Buckhorn Creek Buccaneers. I knew from an early age (kindergarten) I wanted to be a teacher. Learning is something I enjoy doing and in turn I love to share with children and adults. I received my B.A. in English Education from Wilkes University in Pa. Most recently I completed my M.A. in Executive Leadership at Gardner-Webb University.
I have lived in North Carolina since 2011. I moved from New Jersey with my husband, 2 children and 3 cats. I have added a dog since living here. I have been teaching special education for the last 7 years and I have enjoyed it so much. My new adventure as an interventionist and specials teacher is an exciting opportunity I look forward to.
In my free time I can be found cheering on my daughter and the Middle Creek HS color guard or my son and WCU’s marching band. I also love to read, cook, bake, and watch TV.
Ms. Stacey Dietrich ~ 2nd Grade
Hello! My name is Stacey Dietrich and I am thrilled to be joining Buckhorn Creek! Prior to teaching at Buckhorn Creek, I taught for 22 years in Pennsylvania. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s degree in Teaching Reading. I have developed a passion for teaching and love sharing my passion with the students that I teach. I believe in creating a learning environment that is positive and supportive where students can blossom and grow.
My husband and I moved to North Carolina in June 2019. We have a fourteen year old daughter who participated in allstar cheerleading. When we are not traveling to cheerleading competitions to support our daughter we enjoy watching our favorite teams (the Philadelphia Phillies or Eagles)!
Picnic in the Park ---This WEDNESDAY!!!
Please join us Wednesday, August 7th for a picnic in the park. Stop by your favorite restaurant or make a PB&J...whatever you decide bring your dinner to Womble Park from 5-7pm and hang out with other amazing Buccaneer families.
We will meet at the covered shelter close to the soccer fields. Children will be able to play on the playground. This is an easy and care free event. Come and join the fun.
Popsicles in the Park!!
Before and After School Care!
Registration for our Before and After School Care begins on Thursday, August 8th from 9am-11am. Our focus during this time will be to support registration for the program. Families are welcome to register any time after this date. Please remember your $15 registration fee must be provided by check or money order. If registering for both programs, both registration fees can be combined on the same payment.
Please visit our website to access more information about the Before and After School programs.
Forms Days
Forms Days (register for carpool numbers, drop off medication, register for before/after school care, and drop off any remaining registration documents). Providing specific times to manage these items will allow us to support families more efficiently on Meet the Teacher Night.
