August 9, 2024 Parent Newsletter

Dear Spring Creek Families,

On behalf of our entire school community, I am thrilled to welcome you all to the 2024-2025 school year! This year, our theme is "Read, Write, Think: Shine On!" and we can't wait to see our Scorpions soar to new heights. From captivating classroom discussions to hands-on Science projects, we are committed to providing an engaging educational experience that challenges students to think critically and creatively.

But we know learning isn't just about what happens in the classroom. That's why we're counting on our amazing Spring Creek families to partner with us and support our students every step of the way. Whether you're volunteering in the PTA, chaperoning a field trip, or cheering on your child at our events, your involvement is what makes our school community so special.

So let's come together and let our Scorpions' light shine bright this year! With your support and our shared focus on reading, writing, and critical thinking, I know our students are destined for greatness. I can't wait to see what this year has in store.

Let's have an amazing 2024-2025 school year!

Sincerely,

Angie Ariza, Principal

We are excited to announce that we will be utilizing ClassDojo as our primary communication platform for the 2024-2025 school year! ClassDojo provides a simple and effective way for teachers to share updates, photos, and announcements with parents.

Through the ClassDojo app or website, you'll be able to stay connected to your child's classroom and school community like never before. Teachers will use ClassDojo to send real-time messages, post homework and class projects, and celebrate your child's achievements. You can also easily message teachers with any questions or concerns.

Teachers will be sharing instructions on how to sign up and connect with your child's classroom. We're confident that ClassDojo will help foster stronger home-school partnerships and keep you in the loop throughout the year.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're looking forward to a fantastic school year together!

The District is using a new communication tool. You should have received an activation email today, August 9th. Please follow the instructions the teachers provided during our Scorpion Convocation night.
