Important Information & Dates for Week of May 22nd
May 21, 2023
Dear Spring Creek Families,
It is hard to believe that this will be my LAST newsletter for the 2022-23 school year. I am humbled and grateful for this opportunity to work with such extraordinary students, parents, teachers and staff. Thank you for your support, kindness and efforts in making this year a successful and memorable one. Please see details below of all the calendar items and events you won’t want to miss.
Lastly, I would encourage you to help your child focus on 3 SIMPLE GOALS for the summer.
- READ EVERYDAY! Model reading, read together, have your child read aloud to you or a younger sibling. However you do it, make it a priority and put this into practice. It makes an enormous difference in their confidence and academic achievement.
- WRITE EVERYDAY! Ask them a question and have them practice writing their response, encourage their creativity through writing stories, or it could be as simple as having a younger child practice writing their name.
- SPEND TIME OUTSIDE! Summer is the perfect time to get kids outside and simply explore the world around them. Data and research shows that fresh air and 30 minutes a day outside improves the mental health of children and adults
I look forward to seeing you all in August, refreshed and ready for another year of learning and growing.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Snow, Principal
Dance Festival Information: Friday, May 26 at 10:30 am
Students will be dancing in the roundabout at the south end of the driveway. The area to the west of the school building will be blocked off to traffic after 10:00 a.m. Please plan to bring blankets or lawn chairs to use for your seating. The audience will be seated in the grass area to the east of the roundabout. Parents will not be able to enter the school building without checking in through the Raptor System after the event. If you would like to check your child out after the Dance Festival, teachers will be taking students back to the classroom to gather their belongings and sack lunches. They will then meet parents at the front of the school – 1st – 3rd grade on the north side of the front entrance and 4th-6th grade to the south of the front entrance. You will be able to check your child out with his or her classroom teachers without entering the building. We thank you for your patience as we do all that we can to keep students safe and accounted for.
