Odds & Ends
Field Trip: Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered to chaperone! Please make sure the background check application is returned to school as soon as possible so that we have enough time to process it. Background checks cost $12. Chaperones are also responsible for the cost of admission to Science City ($7 - checks payable to Creekmoor Elementary).
*(Please note: Chaperones will ride the bus to and from Science City. Also, siblings of students are not permitted to attend the field trip.)
PTA Carnival & Basket Donations: The carnival will be from 6:00-8:30pm on April 21st. Also, we are collecting items or monetary donations for our 2nd grade class basket that will be auctioned off at the carnival. Please see the flyer that came home for more information.
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.
