Admin Avenue
Dear Olde Creek Families,
Spring is in full swing at Olde Creek, and we’re feeling the energy! From outdoor learning adventures to joyful classroom moments, our Bears are blooming right along with the flowers.
A Night to Remember
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made our Cultural Heritage Night such an incredible success! 🌍✨ It was a beautiful celebration of the diverse cultures that make up our community. Thank you to all the families who created stunning displays, brought delicious food, and shared music and dance — you filled our school with joy, pride, and connection. It was truly a night to remember, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to come together and celebrate what makes each of us unique and special.
A Note of Appreciation
Lastly, we’re gearing up for Staff Appreciation Week, which kicks off the first week of May! 🎉 The OCES Admin Team and PTA are teaming up to make it an unforgettable celebration for our amazing staff. If you’d like to contribute, we’d love your support! We are looking for specific items for certain days to match our "Around the World" theme. You can sign up to donate an item during the week itself, please check out THIS SIGN UP GENIUS to see what we need. Every little bit helps us make our staff feel truly appreciated!
Thanks for being such a supportive, generous community — we couldn’t do it without you!
With gratitude,
The OCES Admin Team 🐻
Courtney Korb, Principal
Matt Elkins, Assistant Principal
Stephanie Kaminsky, Assistant Principal

Class Placement Input Form 2025-2026
As we begin planning for next school year, we invite you to share any information that may help us with your child’s class placement. Our team will thoughtfully consider each student’s strengths and needs, along with your input, as we work to create balanced and supportive classroom communities. While we cannot accept requests for specific teachers due to staffing changes and enrollment shifts, we do encourage you to share any academic or behavioral insights that would help us make the best placement for your child.
CLICK HERE for input form.
Please submit your input by May 16, 2025.

Lost & Found Reminder
Our Lost and Found is bursting with jackets, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, and more! We’ll be donating any unclaimed items on May 2nd, so please stop by soon to see if anything belongs to your family.
To help us return items more easily in the future, we kindly encourage you to label your child’s belongings with their name or initials. It makes a big difference in getting things back to the right owner!

Social and Emotional Learning Screener: Parent Reports
Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of March, providing information on their SEL skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
Individual student SEL Screener results are available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.
For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the SEL Screener Results Family Guide or reach out to our school staff with any questions.
