• 9th grade 213

• 10th grade 244

• 11th grade 146

• 12th grade 101

Cruz Bravo Yepez has been amazing when it comes to supporting our Spanish speaking ELD students. Her commitment to the students has been very helpful, and her work makes it easier for others to help the students.

Stephen Martinez has been one of the most helpful people here at the Creek. Every time he is asked for help, he always assists, no questions asked. Every time he passes by BC Community members he has a warm greeting and checks in to see if you need any help with any custodial issues.

Bruins, when you see Ms. Yepez and Mr. Martinez on campus please congratulate them on being Staff Member of the Week and thank them for all that they do for the Bruin Community.

When our bus lane is open to vehicles, cars are meant to pull to the curb, drop off, and then pull back into the left drive-thru lane. In our parking lots, please do not stop drive through traffic by pulling off to the side to wait for a student. We have parking spots available. To encourage people to use these parking spots, please be courteous when cars are pulling out back into traffic.
