Dear Spring Creek Families,
Our planned fire drill last Friday was very successful. We practiced evacuating to the Beth Ami parking lot. The staff and students did their jobs very well. Later in the afternoon a student accidentally pulled the fire alarm during recess. The students did everything right and followed our drill procedures. All students were safe and accounted for. We extended our lunch and recesses to accommodate everyone. Great job Spring Creek!
Did you know that if you arrive 30 minutes late to school, or take your child out of school 30 minutes before the dismissal, it counts as an unexcused absence. If you have a doctor/dentist appointment or if the school calls you to pick up your child due to illness, it is excused. Remember to bring in a doctor's note.

Parking: Be a Part of the Solution: Thank you Spring Creek families for helping be a part of the solution to our parking, pick up and drop off. I would love to have more parent/grandparent volunteer help, even if you only have 15 minutes. Thank you in advance for using the crosswalks only and staying in your vehicle in the white curb drop off zone. The idea is to keep pulling forward in the white zone. Please set an example for our students by using crosswalks.
Proud Principal:
I am so proud of these students!
