Principal Post

I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Cari Roop. This is my 19th year in education. I spent 10 years in the classroom before transitioning into an administrative role. I am coming from Glenn Elementary where I was the past 4 years. I am the middle of three children. At home, I am greeted daily by my dog Pearl and my wonderful husband. I am excited to get to know the families and children of Sugar Creek. I value creating relationships with students and families. I am looking forward to a great year!

Kindergarten through 5th grade arrival and dismissal procedures

Kindergarten through 5th grade students about the arrival and dismissal procedures.


All students will be dropped off in the back of the building. Parents that are driving can follow the route around so that your driver side is closest to the building. Please only allow your child to exit the car once in the loading/unloading zone. Do not drive around cars.


If you are walking your child, please use the back doors to drop off your child.

The only students that will use the front doors are students arriving on a bus or students arriving late. If your child will arrive after 7:45 they need to stop in the office to sign in and get a late slip.


We have many adults stationed at the door to greet students and get them to the correct location daily. In accordance with Unit 5 safety procedures, parents will not be allowed to enter the building with their child. We ask that you give your child any well wishes outside.


Any parent that has business to tend to needs to enter the building through the front main entrance. You would park in the front lot and buzz into the office.


Sugar Creek appreciates your support in following the safety procedures for arrival and dismissal.

Looking forward to a wonderful year!
