PTA
Many thanks to the
PTA for providing
each student with the
take home agendas
and Friday Folders.
These planners are
an invaluable tool for
our school to keep the
students organized.
Please use the
agenda for quick
notes or questions.
Each night the
agenda should be
signed by a
parent/guardian.
Agendas are checked
each morning and /or
afternoon. Another big
thanks for all the help
the PTA has done
getting “the Creek”
ready for another
school year. We could
not be a school

Homework:
Homework will be
written in the planner
each day. This is
your tool to know what
is expected of your
child the next day in
class. Homework is
an extension of school
and it reviewed the
next day. Please
make sure homework
is completed each
night and returned the
next day. Your help
with this is very
important.
If homework is not
completed or returned
the next day it will be
highlighted in the
agenda and/or
recorded on their
weekly sheet sent
home in Friday
folders.
Communication:
Communication is an
important part of the
school community. If
it is a sensitive matter
or needs immediate
attention send in a
written note with your
child. Please reserve
email for simple things
like advance notice of
not being able to
make a volunteer time
or about an upcoming
party. We are unable
to discuss sensitive
matters via email.
Recess:
Recess is probably
your child’s favorite
part of the day. We
will go out everyday
weather permitting.
Please dress your
child appropriately for
the weather so they
are comfortable
outside.
During inclement
weather we will have
indoor recess in our
classroom. It will
involve games and
activities we don’t
normally have on a
regular basis.
“Moveable Monday”
Implementation
Plan:
“Moveable Mondays”
will be used in all
elementary schools
this year to offset the
disproportionate
number of Monday’s
missed throughout the
year. When a Monday
is missed, the Monday
schedule will run on a
subsequent day of the
week.
Example: Monday,
Oct. 12, 2014
(Columbus Day) we
will have our Monday
schedule on Tuesday,
Oct. 13 followed by
the regular
Wednesday – Friday
schedule. *This plan
will not accommodate
schedule adjustments
due to inclement
weather days.
