IMPORTANT DATE CHANGE

Due to our elongated cold weather break, some important rescheduling of events has had to occur.

The DEER CREEK PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING will be held on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15th at 5:30 pm instead of Tuesday, January 14th at 5:30 pm.  The location will remain in the Deer Creek Library.  Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.  If you are unable to attend but wish to discuss any matters pertinent to our PAC I will schedule personal time with anyone at their convenience.  A School Messenger will go out as a reminder and the date change will also be noted in our Take Home being sent home on Friday this week.

This weeks take home will be sent with students on Friday, January 10th due to the cold weather days.  If you do not receive a take home or it gets lost in a backpack, take home information is available on this blog as well as under the Principal's Note heading on our home page located on the right hand side underneath the calendar.

Welcome back from a long and cold holiday break!  I would like to thank all of the students and families for their holiday wishes, gifts, and treats!!

As the thermometer continues to remind us, it is COLD!  We hold recess indoors any time the temperature is below +10 degrees, but it is still essential to make sure our kids have warm clothes, boots, hats, gloves, etc for drop off and dismissal times.  We also must have fire drills each month of the year and though we try to schedule them on the warmest days possible the forecast tells us it will continue to be COLD!

January 23rd marks the end of semester one.  I encourage students, parents, and families to review Powerschool and communicate with their teachers to ensure the best performance possible for quarter 2 and semester 1.

The WINTER BREAK begins with the conclusion of school next Friday.  Students return to school on JANUARY 6th.  Enjoy your time with family and friends!!

PROGRESS REPORTS will be sent home with students next Wednesday in the take home.  If you cannot locate your child's progress reports please contact the main office and we will provide an additional copy.

WINTER IS HERE!!

The cold weather is upon us.  Parents, please remind your students to have their weather appropriate clothing available.  Coats, hats, mittens, gloves, snow pants and boots are essential to stay warm and healthy during times outside before and after school and at recess.  The decision for inside or outside activities is made daily based on the weather reports (temperature and wind chill) so it is better to have an not need!

The reviews are in for the Standing Room Only Deer Creek Band and Choir concert held last evening in the Deer Creek Gym!  The critics rate is as a "must see event for the whole community!"

Thanks to Ms. Lewis and our Saint Francis Music Staff.  Thanks to all of the students who worked so hard to put on an excellent performance.  Thanks to Ms. Tupy, Mr. Piper, and the Deer Creek staff members who assisted with the event.  Thanks to all of the parents, families, and district staff and community members for assisting and  attending.  Extra Special Thanks to the many who may have been forgotten in these thank yous!
