Olde Creek Summer Update - August 10

Olde Creek Families…

We hope that all of you are having a wonderful summer. We can’t wait to hear about all of the exciting adventures our students went on when they return in a few weeks. As we head into the 2018-2019 school year we are looking forward to continuing our work that is aligned with the Portrait of a Graduate. We will also be focusing on academic conversations and learning targets throughout all curriculum areas. Over the course of the year, we hope that you will be hearing about all three of these topics from your students.

Building strong relationships with our parent community continues to be the foundation of the work that we do. We value parent involvement and will continue to work together to provide the very best for each child. We encourage families to volunteer in the school and get involved with the Olde Creek PTA, and participate in our community events. Over the course of the year, we will be sending out specific information about our many events and programs. You can also use our website to stay connected to the many great things happening at our school and we encourage you to follow us on Twitter @OldeCreekES

The remainder of this message includes important dates and information that is related to the beginning of the school year. Feel free to call or email the school if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to help.

We can’t wait to see everyone in a few weeks! Have a great finish to your summer.
