Magness Creek Elementary
Week of December 4, 2023
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Magness Creek Families! Here is an outline of this week's festivities at the Creek:
*Rockin' Around the Creek is set for Tuesday here from 5-7:30. Our students will perform in the gym at this event (schedule below), and our families will be treated to Santa, milk and cookies, and treats from the various grade levels. Plus, Painted Up will be here and our Jingle Bell Shoppe will be open for business. To make this night even sweeter, we will have $10 pizzas (cash only) from Marco's available upon leaving while supplies last. Come make some memories with us Tuesday night!
*We have Swiftmas Dress Up Days ahead as well. Here are this week's themes:
Wednesday--Wear Green or Grinch.
Thursday--Wear Plaid
Friday--Wear Ugly Sweaters.
*Our Magness Creek Elementary PTO online auction is happening now on their Facebook page. All proceeds will benefit families in our school for Christmas Alliance. Auction rules are attached below. It ends Monday at 5:59 PM.
*Our campus implements Capturing Kids Hearts. Please complete the parent survey at the following link by December 12 to help us plan next steps for growth: https://iheartckh.com/squrl/6vki4nay. Thank you for your input!

How to access Lexia at Home
Lexia is an online reading program that we use for all students here at Magness Creek in grades K-4. It has 21 levels. Students took a placement test at the beginning of the year and were placed on the level they should begin with. Every time a student passes a level, the office will give the student a prize and document the progress on a superstar wall by the office. Various classroom teachers have systems in their classrooms as well to further reward units and time spent on Lexia. We have seen Lexia grow students substantially in the area of reading. As you know, chromebooks stay here at school this year, but we wanted you to have the information for your child to be able to access Lexia at home on a personal device if they would want to devote more time to this program after hours:
*Go to https://lexiacore5.com.
*Use your child's teacher email to log in. Then use your child's Student ID for the username and password. Please call the office or ask your child's teacher for the Student ID number if you do not know it.
Our word of the month is Responsibility!
