Alder Creek Parents and Families,
It is hard to believe that September is almost over and we are well on our way in a new
school year. It is year two for me as principal of Alder Creek and I am very excited to
continue working with such a wonderful community of teachers, support staff, students,
parents and community members. I am thrilled to have our 6th grade students join us this
year! ACMS is a thriving, energetic, and fun community of over 1,000 students. I want to
send a special thank you to our 8th grade mentors (over 120 students) who have helped
make the start of the year so successful. With their help, our 6th and 7th grade students
have learned how to be safe, kind and responsible panthers.
I would also like to thank all of our volunteers who helped at registration and continue to
help our students as hall monitors, office support and lunch supervisors. We appreciate
your time and know that our school is a better community with parent involvement.
Please consider joining our volunteer team as we welcome parents to be here at school
with our students. If you would like to volunteer, please come to the main office, or call
503.353.5700 (ext 0).
I enjoyed seeing many of you at our Back to School Night. Thank you for spending an
evening meeting your child’s teachers and experiencing a middle school seven period
schedule. It was wonderful to see our parents hustling to get to class on time. We know
working together we can make ACMS a kind and safe school.
Parent Conferences, October 27th will be the next chance for you to meet with teachers.
Please check our reader board and the webpage for information. If you have questions or
concerns, please contact us at 503.353.5710.
Respectfully,
Alyson Brant
