Veterans Day Parade
Honoring Our Veterans at Shaw School
We will have a Veteran parade to honor all Veterans who would like to participate. At 8:45am on November 11th, please drive through our campus to be honored. Starting behind the school, follow the white lines around the loop, then turn right into the side lane, turn right onto Gershpacher, then right into the bus loop at the front of the school, finally exiting at the light. There will be a car leading the route and we will loop around TWO times. We look forward to honoring you in our drive-thru parade. Please put a sign on your front windshield that says what branch you serve(d) in and the student you are related to (if you have someone at Shaw). THANK YOU for your service!
Please see map below:

Attendance Do's and Don'ts
- DON'T forget to report an absence to the office! Call 937-429-7610, option 1 OR email shawattendance@gocreek.org. If the absence is not reported by 9:30am than our automated calling system automatically pulls the info of anyone we have not heard from yet.
- DO keep your student home until they are 24 hour symptom free, without medication.
- DON'T forget to get a doctors note and turn it into the Shaw office when your student visits the doctor during school hours. Each student has 10 absences a school year that a parent can excuse, however if you get a drs note the absence does not count against the 10 you are allotted. Doctor notes should be turned in within 5 days of the absence.
- DO let us know in advance of any absences due to a vacation. The district is no longer using vacation request forms. Therefore an email to shawattendance@gocreek.org is the best way to let us know about an upcoming vacation. The district excuses 10 vacation/out of town days per school year. Please note: parents only receive 10 days of absence that they can excuse. If all parent excused absences are used toward vacation, there will be none left to cover sick days.
