Tomorrow is the First Day of School!

The Island Creek Staff are excited to welcome our Crocs to the new school year tomorrow! We look forward to partnering with you to support your child's social-emotional and academic growth. Please reach out to your child's teacher, administrator, or counselor should you have questions, concerns, or suggestions. 

All our best,
