We had a Glo-Stick Dance Party to celebrate reaching 25,000 PAWS Points! So much FUN!
Congratulations to our Rising 7th Graders on their 6th Grade Promotion!
Congratulations
High School Class of 2025!
We were happy to host the graduating seniors who are proud Olde Creek alumni for our annual grad walk. The students paraded through the halls to be applauded by our students, who enjoyed seeing what they have to look forward to when they are older. We wish these former Olde Creek Bears the best! Once a Bear, always a Bear!
PTA Volunteers Needed!
|
With this year coming to a close, the PTA is planning for our next school year. We have a few open board positions, as well as some one-time volunteer opportunities. Email board@oldecreekpta.com if you can volunteer for any of these positions.
First, we need volunteers for our audit review committee this summer. This should only take two hours of your time and is a great way to volunteer without any long-term commitment. It also does not require financial expertise. You are essentially serving as an independent pair of eyes to verify that our books are in order, checks were written to appropriate recipients, etc.
Next, we have two open board positions:
VP of Student Enrichment - Organizes after school clubs and serves as a liaison between OCES and student enrichment vendors. The current VP of Student Enrichment will be staying on as president of the PTA and is more than happy to assist, provide e-mail templates, or troubleshoot any issues that come up.
Vice President - Shadows the president to prepare for the role next year and performs the duties of the president if the president is absent. Performs other duties as assigned.
Finally, we could use volunteers for our committees. The committees are very informal groups with no regular meeting requirements. Essentially, it's groups of parents who board members reach out to periodically to help with specific things. We could use support for the following:
Events Committee - volunteers who are willing to help organize our largest events like Laps for Learning, Halloween Howl, BINGO Night, and the Sock Hop. The goal is to make sure one person doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting to make these events happen.
Finance Committee - volunteers to help keep our finances organized, assist with our yearly audit, and ensure money is spent and tracked responsibly.
Membership Committee - help recruit new PTA members, particularly by attending events at the beginning of the year and welcoming new families.
Communications Committee - help design flyers and graphics. If you're feeling ambitious, we could even set up Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Email board@oldecreekpta.com if any of these volunteer opportunities interest you for next year.
Summer Meals for Students
FCPS’ Summer Meal Service Program provides breakfast and lunch free of charge to all children aged 18 and younger.

If you have any questions regarding the Summer 2025 meal service, please email SummerMeals@fcps.edu or call 703-813-4800.
Comprehensive Boundary Review Update
Our last community meeting for the first part of Phase 2 of the comprehensive boundary review was held June 6. Please stay tuned for summaries of each meeting, along with additional data, which will be shared next week.
As a reminder, no boundary changes have been proposed for the upcoming (2025-26) school year.
Whether you were able to attend a meeting or not, we encourage you to use the Boundary Explorer Tool to see how the initial draft scenarios may affect boundaries. Also, be sure to visit our Comprehensive Boundary Review webpage for information about this process. If you have a question or comment, please submit it on our website.
Limited Early Release Days Continue Next Year
During a report to the School Board this month, FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid announced plans to continue limited early release days in elementary schools and shift them to Wednesdays for the 2025-26 school year. This plan is based on recommendations from the Early Release Steering Committee. The committee includes parents, caregivers, school-based staff, and central office personnel. Read more about the reasons for early release and the proposed early release dates.
