Dear Spring Creek Families,
What another wonderful week with your students! I’m so proud of the great choices students are making at school. I have the privilege of reading through ALL the SOAR cards every week. I see countless examples of students showing kindness, owning their learning, acting safely and responding responsibly. Last week we had hundreds of SOAR cards earned by students. On Tuesday, 90 students received an additional SOAR bracelet. I think this was a Spring Creek record! I hope when students bring home SOAR cards that you take time to celebrate their efforts. What affects one affects all!
Attached to this week’s email is a flier in English and Spanish that shares information about Spring Creek’s Mindfulness Room. The space is a calming area where students can check-in with a Student Success Coach, reflect on their choices and occasionally, where we work with students on restorative practices when they make a mistake. As part of our Positive Behavior Interventions Support, we are moving away from “office referrals” or the dreaded “ODR” that older students know, to natural consequences that still hold students accountable but that provide support in a way that builds students skills.
Lastly, we encourage you to follow our Spring Creek Elementary Instagram (@springcreekprovo) and/or Facebook accounts where daily updates are posted on the happenings at school. In an effort to share more about the school and our fantastic staff and students, I have a new Instagram account that you are welcome to follow too (@principal_snow).
Be sure to check out the rest of the newsletter for important information about this coming week of school!
Spring Creek Hawks Don’t Fly, They SOAR!
Sincerely, Mrs. Snow, Principal

Spring Creek is participating in United Way’s Day of Caring on Thursday, September 14th. Volunteers from Women United and NuSkin are coming to our school to paint and refresh our Kindergarten sidewalk games, paint and provide a “Buddy Bench” for our playground, and clean up the front of our school. We are grateful for the time, effort, and generosity of United Way, NuSkin, and Women United for all they are doing to support these projects at our school.
