Every term students with perfect attendance had their name entered into a drawing for a bike. Perfect attendance is having no absences, no tardies, and no check-outs. Congrats to Mia and George! We hope you enjoy your bikes all summer long! We also want to give a shout out to Caleb, Brylee, and Nora. All their names were drawn for the bike, but each one passed it on, wanting to see another child win! We are so proud of the love and respect shown by these amazing students!

Congrats to Callie! She is the only student at Creekside that had perfect attendance for the entire school year. No Absences! No Tardies! No Check-Outs! Wow Callie! This bike is well deserved!

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!!

Watch our fun video of students spraying the Principals with Silly String!

We are on the hunt for sponsors! 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.

Due to our generous sponsors, Creekside was able to provide a FREE t-shirt to every student!

Thank you to: Creekside PTA, Private Vacations, Care Free Homes, and Rocky Mountain Screen Printing & Embroidery! You Rock!

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. Smart watches may be worn and used as a watch only. Phones must be kept in backpacks.

When students use a personal phone during the school day, they will receive 1 warning. If they choose to use their phone a second time, the phone or watch will be sent to the office. A parent will then need to pick the phone or watch up. It will not be released to the student.

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!
