Dear Olde Creek Families,
This week, we celebrated the most magical staff on Earth with a Disney-themed Staff Appreciation Week, and what a magical week it was!
Every day, our teachers and staff sprinkle a little pixie dust throughout Olde Creek. They go far beyond teaching academics by supporting the social and emotional well-being of our students, building meaningful relationships, creating safe and welcoming spaces, and helping every child feel seen, valued, and loved. Like the heroes in our favorite Disney stories, our staff lead with heart, courage, kindness, and compassion each and every day.
We also want to give a huge thank you to our incredible PTA and families for helping make this week so special. Our community came together in the most amazing way to celebrate our staff. From Amazon Wish Lists and SignUp Geniuses to volunteering and thoughtful surprises, your generosity helped make sure our staff felt like the stars of the show all week long.
Thank you for helping us create a little Disney magic at Olde Creek and for shining a spotlight on the amazing people who make our school such a special place. As Mickey says, “It all started with a dream,” and we are lucky to share this dream together with such an incredible community.
Sincerely,
Courtney Korb
Principal

Olde Creek Parent Input Form for the 2026-2027 School Year
If you have information that you would like to share regarding your child's class placement for next year, please take a few moments to complete This Form.
Our class placement team will carefully consider each child’s strengths and needs during this process as well as review your input. Please do not request specific teachers, as changes in personnel occur frequently and are also impacted by an increase/decrease in enrollment. It is far more valuable to share particular academic or behavioral information.
The deadline for submissions will be May 29, 2026.

FCPS Caters to Food Allergies
May is Food Allergy Awareness Month. The FCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) works to ensure every student has access to safe and nutritious school meals. Since 1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, FNS works closely with families to provide reasonable meal accommodations for students whose medical needs affect what they can eat at school.
To support students appropriately and safely, families are asked to submit medical documentation to FNS from a U.S. licensed health care provider so we can tailor meals to each child’s needs.
Learn more about the documentation required and the steps to develop a safe menu for students.
