No School Today
Staff are in professional development, professional learning communities, and preparing for conferences - which are next week, Oct. 11 & 13. School resumes tomorrow, Tuesday, October 4th.
All School Welcome Back Dinner
Please join us tomorrow night, Tuesday, October 4th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM in our Cafeteria and Gym for our annual Welcome Back Dinner. Tickets are $5 per person, with a $20 maximum per family. Along with all beef hot dogs, walking tacos and other goodies, there will be an inflatable obstacle course outside. This fun family event is sponsored by our wonderful Sand Creek PTO and the Coon Rapids Northstar Lions.
Fall Fundraiser Begins
Our Fall Fundraiser begins this week, officially kicking off on Thursday with programs at 2:30 and 3:00 for our students. Stay tuned for more information later in the week. There will be options for families to donate directly to the fundraiser, or sell chocolate to help raise money for Sand Creek. Here is a sneak peek at the video that students will see on Thursday.
Fall Conferences
Conferences are right around the corner! Please sign up for a conference with your child’s teacher, via My Conference Time, on one of the following dates:
Tuesday, October 11th from either 7:40-8:40 a.m. or 4:00-8:00 p.m.
- Thursday, October 13th from either 7:40-8:40 a.m. or 4:00-8:00 p.m.
Breakfast Process & Tardies/Truancies
The Sand Creek school start time is 9:15, with our doors opening at 9:00. Any student not in the classroom when the 9:15 bell chimes will be marked tardy and that includes our students who purchase breakfast at school.
Door 2 & Door 5 open at 8:50 for students purchasing breakfast. If your student is eating breakfast at school, please have them here before 9:00 so there is enough time to eat and be in class by 9:15. Parents of students who are repeatedly tardy run the risk of being considered truant. Parents/caregivers, please review these expectations with your students who purchase breakfast.
