Welcome back from Fall Break. I hope that you enjoyed the break last week. As we return to in-person learning, please review the upcoming events detailed below. As a Dry Creek parent and community member, we value your support and feedback. In the coming weeks, there will be several opportunities to connect with our staff beginning this evening with the first Accountability Committee meeting and then parent/teacher conferences the week of November 2nd. I hope that you have a great week! Go Explorers!
