We are excited to welcome our Crocs back to school in 2 days on Monday, January 6, 2025! Given the forecast for Monday, information has been included regarding school delays/closings.

We hope our Croc students, staff, and families are enjoying the last weekend of a healthy, happy, and memory-filled Winter Break. We look forward to welcoming our students and staff on Monday morning.

Happy New Year to all Croc students, staff, and families! May 2025 be filled with good health, happiness, and joy!

All our best,

Be Among the First to Hear About School Delays/Closings

Watch this video to see how FCPS makes weather closing decisions

FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible, including email, text, social media, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.

Be among the first to hear about weather delays and closings! Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE. Emails and text messages are sent to parents and caregivers based on the addresses and cell phone numbers entered on this platform.


Save the Date: Island Creek's 3rd annual This is Us Multicultural Night

The Island Creek Elementary Staff are excited to host our third annual This is Us Multicultural Night on Thursday, January 30 from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. The This Is Us event will be a celebration where our students and families can come together to learn about the various cultures, countries, and traditions at Island Creek. 

Island Creek Elementary is fortunate to have numerous countries and cultures reflected in our students, as well as families who have traveled or been stationed abroad and throughout the United States. We plan activities for the This Is Us event to enable the Island Creek Elementary School community to connect and learn more about their classmates and families through their cultures, travels, food, and traditions. 

We’d love for you to contribute something from your culture, country of heritage, or from a country or culture you know well. If you wish to prepare an activity,  please register online by Friday, January 24. Registration is only needed for tables and performances.
