Creekside Elementary

Dear Families,

I hope you have all had a fantastic weekend! As we head into another busy week, I want to share a few important campus updates and reminders with you.

First, please note that this Wednesday is a Federal Holiday, and there will be no school in observance of Veterans Day. Additionally, report cards will go home this Friday. For our 6th-grade families, please be aware that your students' report cards will now feature traditional letter grades rather than the 1–4 numerical rubric used through 5th grade.

We also have some exciting activities happening across our grade levels! On Monday morning from 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM, our 1st graders will attend a "Stranger Danger" safety assembly. This is a highly engaging, interactive program designed to teach our youngest students essential personal safety and situational awareness in a fun, age-appropriate way.

Looking ahead to Friday, November 20th, our 6th graders will head out on a field trip to California State University, Sacramento!

Students will go on an official campus tour to explore university life and start visualizing the incredible higher education and career pathways available in their futures. During this campus visit, students will receive an official university tour, explore academic buildings, and learn firsthand what college life is all about. This trip is an incredible opportunity to spark early curiosity about higher education, career pathways, and the bright futures ahead of them. Please look out for permission slips. They have already gone home, but if you have not seen one, please ask your child for it!

We also have awards assemblies coming up on November 20th!

1st-2nd Grade - 8:35 am - 9:10 am

3rd - 4th Grade - 9:15 am - 9:45
