Odds & Ends
Open House at ALL Elementary Schools: On May 9th, all of the elementary schools will be hosting an open house from 6:00-7:00pm. We welcome everyone to stop by your child's 2017-2018 school to meet the staff. We look forward to begin partnering with families and making this transition smoother for our kiddos!
Beautification Day: On April 29th, Creekmoor Elementary is hosting a Beatification Day from 10am-2pm. Feel free to come up for part or all of the time. We will be working on projects like planting, trimming trees, painting, and mulching.
Field Trip Chaperones: If you are a parent attending the field trip, please send $7 cash or check to the school to cover the cost of your admission to Science City. The cost of student admission is covered by the PTA.
*(Please note: Chaperones will ride the bus to and from Science City. Also, siblings of students are not permitted to attend the field trip.)
Reading Log: The March reading log was the last in the Book-It Program. Even though there is not an April or May reading log going home, kids are encouraged to continue the great habit of reading at home.
Sight Word Lists: Each month, we assess the students on reading a list of common words, also known as sight words. For more information and a list of the words, please click here: Monthly Sight Word Lists.
