WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 14-18, 2026 WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 14-18, 2026

Important Reminders

This Friday, September 18, 2026 there will be no school for students as it will be a required teacher workday for all staff.


๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Constitution Day โ€“ September 17 ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

On September 17, our students will recognize Constitution Day by learning about the U.S. Constitution and its importance to our country. Through age-appropriate classroom activities, students will explore the principles of citizenship, our rights and responsibilities, and what it means to be a responsible member of our school and community. We are proud to help our students grow into informed, caring, and responsible citizens!


Please refer to the new transportation sheet that was sent home on Friday, 9/4. Some studentsโ€™ bus numbers and/or pick-up and drop-off times may have changed. You can also check Infinite Campus for your childโ€™s current bus information. The Here Comes the Bus app should also be accurate tomorrow, so please use it as an additional resource. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these transportation changes! See link below in the resources section of the newsletter.


Our regular attendance/tardy processes will be in effect this week. Please be reminded that students should be in the building ready to start instruction by 7:50. Please review the graphics below to see Creekside Attendance Statistics.


We seem to be getting faster and better every day with our morning and afternoon carpool processes. When you get to the school rock, make sure to unbuckle, get backpack ready and kiss your kiddos goodbye so they are ready to exit the car. This will help us to continue to make the line even quicker!


Parents should not park and walk their student up to the front door. This will not help students be any earlier than going through the line. Please be respectful of your other Creekside Families.


As we continue working to make afternoon dismissal as safe and efficient as possible, we need your help with a few important carpool reminders. See the flyer below!

See the flyer below for information about registering your student for the online portal so you can track their sales and support us in meeting our goals!
