Memo for Garden Creek Parents and Guardians
Creeker Wellness Night – We had over 60 families come out for Wellness Night! Thank you for taking part and learning new skills alongside your children! A huge thank you goes to our volunteers as well as Mme. Plourde, our main organizer of the event!
Nissan/ Summit Dodge Touch a Car event - Thank you to Nissan/ Summit Dodge for sending us brand new vehicles for 36 families to try out this past Saturday! Another great fundraiser to help support our school!
Safe Schools Week - This week, we will be having our first Safe Schools Week drill, although the official week is not until the week of the 21st. As it will be colder during that week, we are having our school evacuation drill this coming Friday at 11:00 AM. Students will exit in a regular fire drill fashion and from there, we will walk to Sansom Equipment ( escorted by the City Police) and another attendance will be taken. Students will then walk back to the school. The whole drill should take about 40 minutes. Students should be dressed appropriately for the weather. Please see the attachment for the other drills that will take place later in the month.
Reminders :
Traffic Patterns and Drop Offs- If you are dropping off your child in the morning, please use the right hand lane. The left hand lane is for driving into the staff/visitor parking lot. As well, although it is nice to say an extra goodbye to your child with a beep of the car, this can also be a signal to staff that something is wrong. Please refrain from doing so.
