Creekwood ECCChatMay, 2026

We cannot believe the end of the school year is here!

The last day of school is May 21.


While we will miss seeing our students, summer is calling and we know your children are going to enjoy their time before starting kindergarten in August. We want to thank you for sharing your children with us this year. We have loved watching them learn and grow throughout this school year. We know they will go on to do great things in their elementary years and beyond! We wish everyone a wonderful summer break!

Yearbooks

We expect our yearbooks to be delivered any day. We will send home yearbooks to those students who pre-ordered one once they arrive.

AORU

Don't forget to complete the Annual Online Reenrollment Update (AORU). This is how you will enroll your child for kindergarten. Parents/Guardians should have received an email with an Activation Key. If you did not receive that, you will need to request assistance via http://www.baschools.org/portal. You will need your username and password. If you are having trouble and/or need to reset these, please see our front office for assistance. If you continue to experience issues, you can reach out to http://www.baschools.org/portal and click the 'Please Contact Us' link for further assistance.

Lost and Found

We have quite a few items in our lost and found. Please check the coat tree and basket in the office, and take home anything that belongs to your child. All unclaimed items will be donated after the last day of school.

Snow Day

We had one built-in snow day left to use this year so there will be no school on Friday, May 15.

Art Auction

We want to send a BIG thank you to everyone who bid on our class art projects: we raised over $500 on our silent art auction! Our students will benefit greatly from this, especially our Unified Champions program. If you won an item, please bring your payment and pick up your artwork piece as soon as possible.
