With the district’s change in photography companies this year, there is a change with our yearbook offering. Every student will receive a complimentary grade level only photo book. This book will only have student’s own grade level, 2 pages of candid shots (these will be identical for all grade levels) and a page for autographs.

Families will also have the option of purchasing a paper-back yearbook for $10. This book will look similar in the past. It will have all grade levels, activity groups, and multiple pages of candid shots, plus pages for autographs. You can place an online order for a $10.00 yearbook at shop.yearbookmarket.com. .

Yearbooks will be delivered to your students classroom teacher toward the end of the school year. All yearbook sales are done online only. The last day to order yearbooks is Sunday, April 14th.

Rush Creek STEM Night will look a little different this year. The Children's Museum is offering a new opportunity to rent out the whole museum, and because of our amazing PTO, we are able to book it from 6:00-8:00 PM, Rush Creek Families will have access to all the exhibits in the building.

In preparation for the event, we are considering getting busses for those that would like to utilize that option. The bus would leave from the Rush Creek Parking lot at around 5:30. The cost per person/per family will be determined once we know how many would be interested, but it will be roughly $3 per person. Parking in the Children's Museum ramp will cost $8. More information will be coming, but we needed to obtain numbers for those that would be interested in taking the bus should we offer that option.
