Spring Creek Parents,
We are so glad to have your kids back within the walls of our school. This week we have introduced a few new items to help empower students when dealing with issues of being mean or teasing. First is describing what bullying is and educating students on what that looks like. We showed them the video below:
The video describes disagreements, rude moments, mean moments and bullying. Second we are implementing a program called Stop, Walk, Talk.
Below is the video explaining about the program
We are trying to empower students to take care of problems themselves. When someone is being mean we say Stop, I don’t like that. If that does not work then they walk away. If that doesn’t work then they are to ask an adult for help. We are excited about these things to be integrated into how we do things at Spring Creek Elementary.
Family talking point of the week: Acknowledging what is great about you
We want all students to feel that they have great things about them that can add value to our learning community. We are striving to focus on their strengths and be positive with them in our interactions.
Ideas for discussions with your child:
Thank you,
Jay Porter
Principal, Spring Creek Elementary

Hey everyone Mr. Parks the school social worker here. I just wanted to let you know of a phenomenal resource called the UVU Stronger Families Project. Here is some more information about it:
Utah Valley University sponsors a unique community-engaged family life education program that for 15 years has been empirically proven to improve the lives of Utah families through evidenced-based psychoeducational classes and resource interventions taught by UVU graduate and undergraduate students. Our interns, certified to teach the curriculum, teach an 8-week course for free to the entire family one evening a week from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Family members learn skills to utilize at home including problem solving, conflict resolution, interpersonal relationships, family values, and communication. Key outcomes are improved family relationships, mental health, stress management, parenting and marriage confidence, community resource connections, and childhood protective factors. We hold the 8-week course fall and spring semesters and families can apply 3 weeks prior in January and September.
For more information and to apply, below is the website regarding UVU’s family project:
