Principal's Post - A Weekly Note From Mr. Ortman
Happy Friday Everyone,
As the end of the school year quickly approaches, we have fielded many questions about how our end-of-year procedures and celebrations will be handled. In the coming weeks, we will share more information about 6th Grade Promotion, yearbook distribution, middle school orientation, and Field Day.
Next week, our teachers will begin the process of organizing their classrooms and bagging student materials. Each teacher will spend one day in his/her classroom, so you can expect there to be a day in which no synchronous (live) instruction or check-ins occur. Your child's teacher will communicate more specifics with you in the coming days.
Stay tuned for an e-mail sometime next week with more information about how you will retrieve your child's items from school. We are working to create a system that will be both safe and efficient for everyone.
Thank you for your support. Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Shawn M. Ortman
Principal
From the Desk of Mrs. Dowd
Hi Creeker Families,
It's time for a friendly competition!
Mr. Molenari has "hidden" 6 signs like the one that Mr. Ortman and Mrs. Dowd are posing with in the picture above throughout the neighborhoods that attend Mill Creek. Can you find all 6?
Share a picture of your kids with one of the signs and you may win a special prize!
Have fun, and enjoy the beautiful weather!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lauren Dowd
Assistant Principal

Screenagers: A CB Cares and CBSD Online Parent Positive Event
https://www.bigmarker.com/screenagers-starhouse/SCREENAGERS-NC-STREAM-Central-Bucks-School-District
With COVID-19 giving many of us downtime at home with our families, we invite the Central Bucks community to take this opportunity to watch SCREENAGERS NEXT CHAPTER: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience. This special edition includes a brief introduction by the filmmaker Dr. Delaney Ruston, plus a pre-recorded Q&A with her after the film, where she responds to some of the most frequently asked questions about the topics covered in the film. Filmmaker and physician Dr. Delaney Ruston takes the conversation around screens and teens to the next level with Screenagers NEXT CHAPTER: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience—a film that examines the science behind teen’s emotional challenges, the interplay of social media, and most importantly, what can be done in our schools and homes to help them build crucial skills to navigate stress, anxiety, and depression in our digital age.
