Dear Bear Creek Families,

The Transportation Form is a crucial component of our safety measures. It is essential that this form is completed for every child at Bear Creek as it assists us with dismissal processes. Please complete this form for every child - ASAP!

Meet the Teacher was such a great night. How wonderful it was to see so many happy children excited to find their classroom. Monday evening will be a night that we all have excited thoughts, nervous jitters, and perhaps a little restless sleep. Have a wonderful dinner, pack that backpack and lunch, and get a good night sleep. We will see everyone Tuesday morning. Doors open at 7:15 am. We will certainly give grace that first week and not count tardies. We are so excited to begin this school year.

No lunch visitors the first two weeks of school. This allows our students and staff to polish routines and tighten systems. Thank you for your assistance with this. When packing your child's lunch, make sure that items packed are ones that they can open themselves.

Breakfast is available each day. If students wish to eat breakfast in the cafeteria, they need to arrive to campus prior to 7:30 am. Breakfast is to be consumed in the cafeteria. Due to ongoing concerns with ants in the building, grade levels are designating snack times and procedures so that children will have reminders to clean up after themselves.

Please familiarize yourself with the Bear Creek Parent-Student Handbook.

Here is the Bear Creek Staff for the 2026-2027 school year!

Sincerely,

Theressa Lewis

Principal
