Olde Creek Families,
We wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the wonderful turnout at Back to School Night this week. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you and share the exciting learning experiences that your children will be embarking on this year.
As our students settle into their daily routines, we're thrilled to see their enthusiasm for learning grow. From engaging classroom activities to exploring new books, they're already making the most of their time as an Olde Creek Bear.
To get a glimpse of the fun and learning happening at Olde Creek, be sure to check out our weekly picture gallery above.
We're excited to continue partnering with you to support your child's success this year.
Sincerely,
Courtney Korb, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal
Stephanie Kaminsky, Assistant Principal

Last Call! Creating a New OCES Vision & Mission
A school's vision and mission are like a roadmap, guiding us towards a shared goal. They help us create a positive and supportive learning environment for all students.
We're excited to be working on a new mission and vision for our school. To make sure it reflects our community's values, we're asking for your input!
Please take some time to answer the questions on the form that went home in Friday Folders today or complete the digital version using the link. Your voice matters!
We're excited to hear your ideas! Please return your completed forms by September 9th!
Blue Star Welcome Week
Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices.
Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 21 - September 29, 2024, and throughout the year!
Stay tuned for more information! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS

You can submit questions online regarding the SR&R.

Attendance Matters
Please take a moment to review the FCPS calendar and plan accordingly. Your child's attendance is vital for their academic progress.
While we understand the importance of family vacations, we kindly request that you plan your trips around our school schedule. Thank you for your cooperation!
The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate from high school on time. Help prepare your child for future success.
