Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!

Dear Creekside Families,

As we begin a brand-new school year at Creekside Elementary, we are excited for a fresh start filled with new opportunities to learn, build friendships, develop positive relationships, and work toward meaningful goals.

At Creekside, we want every student to feel safe, loved, valued, and connected. Creekside Comets follow the Creekside 4: Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be Kind.

Our families are an important part of our Creekside community. Please help your child build consistent habits by attending school regularly, arriving on time, and coming prepared to learn each day.

As we continue our work to become a High Reliability School, we are committed to high levels of learning and success for every student. These aren't just student goals—they are goals for our entire Creekside community.

Our 2026–2027 School Goals

Reading: 80% of K–6 students will demonstrate proficiency in reading accuracy, and 75% will demonstrate typical or above-typical growth.

Math: 60% of K–3 students will demonstrate typical or better growth.

Social-Emotional Learning: Increase the number of students who feel safe, respected, and included by 10% while reducing bullying, peer conflict, and office referrals by 15%.

Most importantly, please know how much we love your students. We want Creekside to be a place where children feel excited to come each day—a place where they know they belong and are surrounded by people who care about them.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We can't wait to see what we accomplish together this year!

As Creekside Comets, we rock!

With appreciation,

Linda Horsley
Principal
Creekside Elementary

1. Junior high students who have siblings at Creekside are welcome to wait in front of the school, as long as they are not causing any disturbances.
2. 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 time, 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!

Toys are not allowed at school. We welcome balls, jumpropes, and other approved recess equipment to be used at recess only. Please label all personal recess equipment with students name.

First Bell: 8:50 am
