Welcome Back Spring Creek Families,
Looks Like We Made It: Conditions have dramatically improved, and it seems that the danger to our community has passed. WHEW! I hope you and your families are feeling relief and sense of returning to normalcy.
School Safety: We are looking forward to welcoming back our students, families, and employees. I'd like to give a huge SHOUT OUT of appreciate to our district maintenance and custodial staff. Those who weren't evacuated from the area have been cleaning campuses and ensuring that schools are safe for reopening. Every school will also be evaluated by local environmental safety agencies to double check that all's well before schools open.
Student Support: Please also be assured that spring Creek and RVUSD staff will be placing the highest priority on supporting all of our students’ emotional well-being as we re-enter school after this stressful and anxiety-provoking event. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like to share any special circumstances that may enable us to better support your children as we re-enter school.
Campus Improvement Day was a very successful : A HUGE thank you to our Spring Creek Matanzas Families for relocating our garden boxes, pruning our fruit trees, digging out stumps, painting sensory walks on the blacktop, painting two ball wall murals, and cleaning our campus. It was such a pleasure to work with our students, families, and staff members. Stop by and check out what was accomplished. We still have more to do with our garden, however a great deal of progress was made. Thank you to everyone who participated! Look for pictures posted to our website soon.
This Week:
Halloween Activity Re-Do In place of our Halloween festivities, Matanzas will have Pajama/Halloween Costume Spirit Day next Friday, November 8th with students having the choice to wear PJs or their Halloween costumes.
Dime Drive will continue this week. Please continue to send in your coins. The grade level that wins the contest will get a popcorn party.
Feed the Monster: Would you like to help our soldiers who do not have access to candy? We have found an organization who will donate candy and send them overseas. Come to the office and drop your candy into the Monster’s mouth.
BOX Top Turn in: Download the app and scan your box tops to hwlp our school.
