​Memo for Garden Creek Parents and Guardians

Good afternoon Creeker Families,

​

We hope you all enjoyed the sunny day yesterday as we inch closer to  warmer weather!  Lots of notes for you to be aware of:

Personalized Projects – Congrats to Mr. Burnett’s class who presented Social Studies projects on topics of choice last week. We also congratulate one of our grade 2 students who presented her project at STEAM EXPO last week. We are looking forward to more projects being presented  in the grade 2 FI class as well as the grade 5s presenting their Heritage projects on April 24^th.  Choice = student motivation, engagement and learning.

Achievement Reports -   Term 2 reports go out next Monday, April 1st. Please ensure you have signed up through the doodle emailed to you so that you can meet with your child’s teacher next week. I encourage everyone to meet with the teacher.

Garden Creek Parent Perception Survey – two years ago, the PSSC sent out an anonymous  parent perception survey to get feedback from parents around a variety of items about our school. We are again asking for your  feedback. Please complete the survey monkey for each of your children at our school  through this link. The most valuable part, I find, is also the comments that you can add. Please give us feedback so that we can improve our school and our practices. Thank you.             https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GCSparents2019

Clothing  Items –  A reminder to come and check out the VAST number of lost and found clothing items located in our lobby.  We recommend that you label your child’s outdoor clothing to aid in the items going back to their rightful owners.

Yearbook  Sponsorship – Parents or businesses have until April 5 to go to cashless schools  if they would like to sponsor the yearbook.  The rates are $25 for a page or $50 for a business card sponsorship. Thank you to those who have already done so J

Parking Lot Issues – We are noticing that some parents are parking in the exit areas of the parking lot to drop off or pick up their children. This is a safety issue. Parents are welcome to park in the spaces in the parking lot to walk their children in the school but please do not park or idle in the exit areas.

Creeker Movie Night this Friday !! –  Movie: Ralph Wrecks the Internet. Doors open at 6:15 with a donation at the door with half the proceeds going to the SPCA ( through  Caring for Critters Club)  . Treats available for sale. Please bring something for your child to sit on and indoor shoes to keep the gym clean J
