A Note from Ms. Marlatt
Even though snow and cold continues to linger, spring is just around the corner. With it comes parent-teacher conferences, Spring Break and CMAS state testing for 3rd-5th Graders.
We continue to ask that you partner with us for great attendance everyday. When your student is at school, he or she gets the opportunity to learn!
We hope you enjoy our This Week at Second Creek video. It always warms my heart to see all the fun and learning happening at out school.
Thank you for sharing your children with us!
Ana Marlatt
Principal
Snow Days = Remote Learning Days for the rest of 22-23 School Year
1. Communication from our district - you will receive an email, text and dialer about the closures. Make sure your information is updated in Infinite Campus!
2. Communication from Second Creek - we will also send a dialer, with expectations, schedules and links for your student to participate in remote learning.
3. Communication from your classroom teacher - your classroom teacher will also communicate with you. An email will be sent with information.
If we think the district might call a snow day, we will send Chromebooks home (kindergarten -3rd Grade) just in case. Having the Chromebooks does not mean the following day will be a remote learning day. Please wait for the confirmation from the district.
We will NOT be sending home a power charger for the Chromebooks (for K-3) only. The Chromebooks will be charged and will last for Remote Learning. Please keep an eye on the device and do not allow your student to use the device until learning time in order to preserve power.
Please send all Chromebooks back to school when we are given the okay to return.
Please call us at school if you have any questions.

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!
