Spring Creek Parents,

It has been a fantastic week!  We have started our Acadience reading testing across all grade levels and the curriculum is in full swing:) We have had 5 Watch dogs in our school already.  They have been a great addition to our school!  I have had students tell me how much they like them and the watch pups just light up having their dads come in!!  We appreciate what you do to help your children academically and behaviorally.  

Sincerely,

Jay Porter

Principal, Spring Creek Elementary
