Welcome Back Spring Creek Families,                                    Dec. 2, 2019

Happy Holiday Season. We had a nice turnout at our family potluck before break. Thank you to those of you who were able to join us. Please join us this Thursday for our Winterfest Holiday Concert. Each grade level will sing three songs. Please join us this Thursday Night at 6:00 at the Spring Creek Multi-Purpose Room. Please look at the schedule below. It is important that your student/s arrive 15 minutes before the start of their performance time.

Winterfest Holiday Concert:

December 5th: Performance at Spring Creek MPR

6:00pm TK, K, 1st grade performance

7:00pm 2nd, 3rd performance

  • Students will arrive to their classrooms 15 minutes before the show and teachers will bring the kids down the center aisle in their line up order as in years past.

  • For space issues, please stay only for the performances your child is performing in to make room for everyone.

  • Parents will pick-up their students from classrooms.

Rainy Days: If it is raining at the start of school, students will go to the MPR to watch age appropriate G rated cartoons/movies beginning at 7:45 AM. If it is raining during recesses, students will have indoor recess. If it is lightly drizzling, students will play outside.

STEAM NIGHT: STEAM stands for science, math, engineering, arts and math. Your students will have a wonderful night of exploration and hands-on activities. Join us at Matanzas at 6:00, Dec.17th. Teachers and volunteers will be facilitating the activities. This will be a fun night.

Parking Reminders: Can you please help? PLEASE!!!

  • Staff parking lot is for staff and handicap only. We have staff coming and going all day. Our after school daycare employees arrive at the end of school and they need to be able to get into the lot to park.

  • I am very concerned: Students and parents are jaywalking. Parents are encouraging their children to run across the street without going to the cross walk. I am so worried that one of our students/families will get injured. To complicate this, we still have parents who are making U turns in the middle of the street and in our staff parking lot. This has to stop!!!! PLEASE! Our campus opens at 7:45 and supervision is provided for students a half hour before school. Please leave home earlier so you are not in a rush. Please be kind to our staff and volunteers who are helping to keep our students safe.

  • A Solution in the DropOff/Pick Up: Please pull up all the way to the very front of the white zone when you arrive. The white zone is meant to be a very quick drop off and pick up. No braiding and combing hair, watching videos on your phone. THIS IS A QUICK DROP OFF AND PICK UP ONLY!!! PLEASE!!! People complain about the frustration they feel with the drop off/pick up zone, so we all need to help. We are a TEAM. Thank you for your cooperation. We really appreciate it.

  • Parking Volunteers: Help Needed

We are looking for volunteers to help monitor drop off/pick up in front of the school. Even if you can only commit to one day or one morning or afternoon, we would appreciate your help. Please contact our office manager, Sarah Hall and let her know that day/s you would like to help. 

Food Drive: Food is collected to help our Spring Creek and Matanzas families. Please donate non- perishable foods and /or a $10.00 grocery gift card to your child’s classroom teacher. Your generous donations will help families that attend our school. Teachers have containers in their room for collection.

Have you joined the Parent Teacher Association  (PTA)? You membership dues help to provide our students with special assemblies, fine arts day performing arts day and more.
