Dear Olde Creek Families,
What an amazing Open House today! It was such a joy to meet our new kindergarteners and welcome new families into our community. Seeing the smiles on our returning bears brought such smiles to all of our faces! Your excitement has set the perfect tone for a fantastic year ahead.
As we gear up for Monday, just a couple of friendly reminders: we encourage students to start their year off by coming to school the same way they will each and every day. Establishing a routine early will set them up for success.
Also, when/if you drop your student off, you'll need to say your goodbyes at the door. While we know it’s tough, this helps our little bears build confidence and independence as they enter the classroom on their own.
We can’t wait to see all the wonderful things this year has in store! Let’s make it a great one together!
Go Bears!!!
Sincerely,
Courtney Korb, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal
Stephanie Kaminsky, Assistant Principal
