Padres de Spring Creek,

     We have had a great week here at Spring Creek!  We celebrated our STEM participants with an Ice cream party, had an author come and talk to our 5th and 6th grade students and she gave them a free copy of her new book, had a Principal’s 200 Club Celebration doing minute to win it games, helped prepare our language learners for the upcoming WIDA test, and had a double DOG day with our watch DOGS today! 

     We will be having a Donuts and DOGS night (Dads Of Great Students) event this Thursday at 5:30pm where we would like to have some fun with Father figures.  This is to help us reinvigorate our Watch DOGS program and get dads to sign up.  Please return the blue slip indicating if you will be attending so that we can order enough food. See attached information flyer.

Family Talking Points:  Owning Your Learning

The O in SOAR stands for own your learning.  We are trying to instill in students that they are responsible for their learning.  The teacher is there to guide and help them learn but they have to put effort in, ask questions when they are confused, stay on task, seek understanding.

Possible questions:  

1. What does it mean to put effort into your work in school?
2. What can you do to make sure you are learning at school?
3. What makes learning difficult in school?
4. How can a teacher help you learn those difficult topics?

Gracias, señor,

Jay Porter

Director, Spring Creek Elementary

In order to accommodate working parents, our next PTA meeting will be on Thursday, February 13, at 5:30pm at the school. You’ll get to hear from our principal and school staff about all the good things going on at our school, and you’ll also get to be a part of the planning for Staff Appreciation Week (March 24-28).
