Spring Creek News

NO SCHOOL MONDAY, OCTOBER 18!!!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Spring Creek has received an amazing grant through Schools for Healthy Lifestyles that provides planning, paint and stencils to paint games onto the concrete areas of our playground! This will allow students to have more opportunities for fun activities such as hopscotch, four square, around the world, sensory pathways and more action-filled outlets. But we need VOLUNTEERS to paint! We will have the stencils and paint, we just need people to lay down the color! The date is Saturday, November 13 from 8:00 am until 1:00 pm. If you would be able to come to Spring Creek and help Coach English make our playground amazing, be watching for the Sign Up Genius link in our next newsletter!
THANK YOU!
Birthday Treat Reminder
Birthday treats must be store-bought, pre-packaged in their original sealed container. They must be brought to school by the student in his or her backpack (a great example is "Little Debbie" snacks).
No refrigerated or bakery items may be served.
Treats cannot be accepted at the office to be delivered to class.
Thank you!

SUBSTITUTES NEEDED
ATTENDANCE – TARDIES AND LEAVE EARLY
Please make sure, if you check your child in late to school or you check them out early, that you bring us a doctor's note. Any Tardy/check out early (without a note) is considered an absence and counts toward Chronic Absenteeism. After 10 days of absences (without a Doctor's note), the District will require you to attend an Attendance Hearing per State guidelines.
It is critical to your child's learning that he/she is in school each day. If you have an extenuating circumstance, please reach out to the office.

STUDENT INSURANCE
“The Deer Creek School District has made arrangements to offer Student Accident Insurance for all students from K&K Insurance Group. We make this coverage available to parents for their children who are students enrolled in our schools. The Deer Creek School District does not provide insurance coverage or medical reimbursements to parents for injuries that occur during school, including those incurred during gym classes, recess, etc.
While this coverage is optional, it is important that you review the coverage options available to you and consider purchasing this coverage, especially if your family has health insurance with a high co-payment for doctor and emergency visits, or a high-deductible plan, etc. Go to the link below for the application and additional information.
