From the School
Back to School Night – Tuesday,
September 12
The Olde Creek Back to School Night will take place on
Tuesday, September 12th from 6:45 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. This is a great way to continue to develop
the strong school-home partnerships that will help set our students up for
success. At this event, teachers will provide information about their individual
classrooms, grade-level curriculum, and programs and resources available to our
students and families. This night is
just for parents. Please arrange child
care for your children. The school will
open at 6:30 and the classroom programs will begin at 6:45 p.m. For families
with multiple children, there will be two identical sessions presented in each
classroom beginning at 6:45 and 7:30.

PTA By Laws
The Olde Creek PTA Board has proposed
to amend Article: VIII Section: 3, Sub-section: d of the Olde Creek PTA Local
Unit Bylaws. Specifically, the proposed amendment would strike the following
sentence from the bylaws so that, with exception of the President and
President-Elect, other officers of the association would not be bound to term
limits: “A person shall not be eligible to serve more than two (2) consecutive
terms in the same office".
A committee
bylaws chairman and committee have reviewed the proposed amendment and concur
with the recommended change. This
posting serves as a 30-day notice of the amendment. If you have questions regarding this
amendment, please contact the PTA Board at board@oldecreekpta.com.
