Dear Spring Creek Families,

This week there is NO SCHOOL on Monday and Tuesday. Students should return to school on Wednesday, January 17. I also want to encourage you to save the date for our upcoming STEM Fair on Thursday, February 1 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Check out the STEM Fair section of the newsletter for more information.

In addition, Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 7th from 1:45-4:00 pm and Thursday, February 8th from 1:45-7:00 pm. Sign ups will be available on Sign Up Genius starting Sunday evening, January 21st with a link on our school website. Our goal is always to meet with 100% of parents! Please help us achieve this by signing up for a time to meet. The middle of the year is an important time for teachers to update you on your child’s academic progress. You are a vital part of your child’s education and your input and contribution is needed.

Thank you for your continued support of Spring Creek! Remember, Spring Creek Hawks don’t fly, they SOAR!

Sincerely, Mrs. Snow, Principal

5th Grade Camp Big Springs

Each summer Provo City School District, in conjunction with Provo City Parks and Recreation, provides an Outdoor Education (summer STEM camp) Program. This is a co-curricular program that is an extension of the current fifth grade STEM curriculum. Students just finishing fifth grade are invited to participate and will spend five days at a camp located up the South Fork of Provo Canyon where they will be involved in activities such as hands-on science experiences, arts & crafts, sports & recreation and campfire programs. See attached flyer for more information.
