Staffulty Appreciation Week - May 6-10

Thank you to the families who have purchased items off of the Wal-Mart Wish List for our Staffulty. Mrs. Butler and I would like to show our staffulty how much we appreciate them during this week. We cannot use school funds to purchase personal items and food for staffulty. If you would like to help us show them how much their hard work is appreciated, we have created a Wal-Mart Wish List. The link is below.

Will my student earn the SOAR reward?

As a reminder, the Jostens Renaissance Program is a framework of culture where teachers love their job and students thrive in school. It is built on common core values and expectations. At Mill Creek, our Renaissance program is built around the core values of Safety, Ownership, Achievement and Respect. Students and staffulty will receive recognition and rewards when following these core values. Each day, our students will have the opportunity to earn a SOAR point based on these values. You can find the guidelines on the back of their daily folders and check their progress on Class Dojo.


We will host our third nine week SOAR celebration on May 22. In order for your student to earn this reward, they must have earned their daily SOAR point at least 80% of the time. For this nine weeks, your student will need 36 points. Students earn points by being present for a full day of school (unless they have a doctor's note), completing work and showing SOAR'n behavior each day.



You can monitor your child's progress toward meeting this goal on Class Dojo.
