10.26.25 Family Newsletter

We will be highlighting Red Ribbon Week this week. This week highlights the importance of living a drug-free life. It presents an opportunity for parents, educators, and communities to re-enforce the drug-free messages they share with their children throughout the year.

Our dress up days are listed below. Please make sure you have your days planned out. If you have any questions about whether or not something can be worn, please reach out to your classroom teacher on Dojo.

Grading period ends on Tuesday. Students will need to make sure all missing assignments and work is turned in by then.

Huge THANK YOU to all of those who donated items to the PTO for the staff apple bar this past Friday. It was so enjoyable and just the special treat we needed to end our week.

One thing we love to do here at Queens Creek is celebrate! Celebrate all things! So lets start shouting out some staff members that have gone above and beyond for your student(s) or family. Please complete the form below if you want them to be recognized! Our staff is one in a million. :)

**Please note the date change!

Kindergarten Parents: Students were sent home with a permission form to have your student to have a dental evaluation, referral and follow-up. The goal of this program is to monitor oral disease in populations and connect people to dental care when needed. Please return the permission forms by 10/31/25 to have your student participate. They have been sent home, but if you need another form, please let your student's teacher or the school nurse know.

Kindergarten and First Grade Parents: We have been focusing a lot on dental health this month and the Dental students from Coastal Carolina Community College came and taught a lesson on dental care. Please continue this conversation at home. The kids really love to learn about how to care for their bodies.

Fun Fact

Smiling is good for your health! It is not just a sign of happiness—it actually makes you feel happier by releasing endorphins, the body’s feel-good chemicals. Taking care of your teeth helps keep your smile healthy, so you can share it with the world.
