Dear Olde Creek Families,
What a whirlwind of a week! Despite the shorter week, our students continued to shine.
We were thrilled to recognize four exceptional students who were nominated for Bear Hugs for October. These students have truly embodied our PAWS expectations: Practice Kindness, Act Responsibly, Work & Play Safely, and Show Respect. They were recognized on the News Show and their pictures are proudly displayed in the front lobby. They also earned 15 PAWS points for their class!
Join us in celebrating Office Assistant, Sandy McCulloch's retirement after an incredible 24 years at Olde Creek! Her last day with students was today, October 2nd. Sandy has been a bright light in our community, always bringing smiles and laughter to those around her. We are grateful for her dedication, friendship, and countless contributions to Olde Creek. Let's wish Sandy all the best in her retirement!
Sincerely,
Courtney Korb, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal
Stephanie Kaminsky, Assistant Principal

Attendance Matters
🗓️ Attendance Tip: Scheduling Family Trips or Events
Good attendance is an important life skill that will help students succeed in school and beyond.
When planning trips or family events, refer to the FCPS calendar and try to use weekends and school holidays. Every day of learning is a day toward success. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered chronically absent.
When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or another reason, you must report the absence. You can report absences by submitting it in ParentVUE, emailing OldeCreekElem.Attendance@fcps.edu or calling 703-426-3192.
Watch this video with tips on understanding the FCPS school year calendar and visit the Attendance webpage for additional information. Attend today, achieve tomorrow!
