Spring Creek Parents,

     A big thank you for coming out to parent teacher conferences.  It was fun to see your families and sit in on some of the conferences.  Our teachers are great and I can see the love and concern they have for your children and their education.  It was also fun to get to meet our new mascot!!  It is yet to be named and we will have a vote on its name in the coming weeks!!  If you did not get a chance to come in and visit with the teacher please get in contact with them and find out how your student is doing academically, socially, and behaviorally.  Thank you for all you do for your children.

Family talking point:  Sportsmanship

We try to teach students to be good sports, talking about good winning and good losing.

Possible questions to guide your discussions:

1. What does it mean to be a good winner and what would that look like?

2. What does it mean to be a good loser  and what does that look like?

3. What can losing teach you?

4. How might the other side feel if you win and rub it in their face??

Thank you,

Jay Porter

Principal, Spring Creek Elementary
