I grew up in Provo Utah and I am 23 years old. I graduated from BYU-Idaho in December of 2024. I have been married for 4 years and am expecting a baby girl any day now! I come from a family of 10. My favorite candy is reeses peanut butter cups. My favorite dessert is cookies. I love to bake, ski, and spend time with family and friends. I am so excited to be at Creekside and cant wait for this year!!

Our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Medina, applied for the PBIS grant for Creekside. We were rewarded the grant at the begining of the school year! Funding from this grant was used to build postive behavior support and incentives here at Creekside. It typically takes schools using this grant years to achieve the title of a Positive Behavior School. But here at Creekside we are exceptional and were awarded this achievement our very first year! Way to go Creekside!!

We are on the hunt for sponsors and donations! We would love to be able to fund a t-shirt for every student again next year! Please contact us if you have a sponsorship opportunity.

We have openings on our Creekside Community Council. This is a meeting once a month on ZOOM. We would love more community input. If you are interested, please reach out to president@creeksidecometpta.org.

1. Junior high students who have siblings in second grade or younger are welcome to wait in the designated area, as long as they are not causing any disturbances.
2. If their sibling is in third grade or older, we ask that they wait on the sidewalk in front of the Creekside sign (not on or at Creekside sign).
3. Junior high students without siblings attending Creekside should not loiter on or near the property.

The purpose of these guidelines is to reduce the ongoing rowdiness that has been reported, including skateboarding in front of the building and on steps, as well as loud and disruptive behavior around our building.

We want to recognize that there are several Fairfield students who are being respectful and responsible while waiting for their siblings, and we do not want to impose unnecessarily on them. Our goal is simply to reduce the unnecessary presence and disruptive behavior of those without a reason to be on campus.

Creekside does not allow students to use personal phones during the school day. If a parent must be contacted, the student needs to receive teacher permission, after which they will use the school phone. Phones and smartwatches must be kept in backpacks.

Creekside Handbook States:

Our electronic device policy remains largely unchanged in elementary schools. However, we do want to send this both to provide additional information and as a reminder so you can prepare appropriately for the school year.

• Senate Bill 178 - Devices in Public Schools went into effect July 1, 2025 and prohibits students from using cellphones, smartwatches, or emerging technologies during classroom hours. While establishing a default, the law allows local education agencies (school districts) to create exemptions and craft their own policies.

• The Davis School District Board of Education adopted a policy that prohibits electronic devices in elementary school throughout the entire school day. In secondary schools, students will be permitted to access them during passing periods and lunch.

• While Creekside has always had a no cellphone policy, the addition of
  smartwatches is new. In the past, watches could be worn if they were used strictly to tell but they will now be required to be stored in backpacks during the school day just like cellphones.

• The following steps will be taken to help support students who access electronic devices during school hours:

• First occurrence - the device will be taken away by the teacher and returned to the student at the end of the day. Parents will be notified.

• Second occurrence - the device will be taken away and turned in to the office.

• An administrator will meet with the student and return the device to the student at the end of the day. Parents will be notified.

• Third and subsequent occurrences - the device will be taken away and turned in to the office. A parent will be required to pick up the device in the office.

Students who have a device listed as an accommodation on a special education or health plan (such as diabetics who use a phone to monitor glucose levels) are exempt from this policy as it pertains to their accommodation.

Parents, please help us by enforcing this at home. Do not allow your child to contact you on their personal device during school hours. Make plans before school starts or contact them on their device AFTER the dismissal bell.

We love your dogs! However, we ask that you please do not bring dogs, or any other animal on school property.

"Privately owned animals are only permitted on school premises with explicit consent from the Executive Director or direct supervisor. Otherwise, it is unlawful to bring domestic animals onto the grounds of any public school, regardless of whether the animal is restrained by a leash, chain, rope, cord, or similar device." -ut.gov

At Creekside we always Walk our Wheels on school property. This protects our walkers from accidentally getting hit by someone on wheels. This applies to EVERYONE!
