Dear Reidy Creek Families,


We’re in the home stretch before Spring Break, which begins next Thursday. Please note that Wednesday, April 9th is a minimum day, with dismissal at 12:20 PM. Spring Break will run from Thursday, April 10th through Monday, April 21st. School will resume on Tuesday, April 22nd.


Spring ELOP Highlights

As we wrap up this session of our enrichment classes, we’re excited to share some of the wonderful things our students have been up to! While many of our ELOP classes will continue a bit longer, a few of them had their final sessions this week—complete with fun and exciting culminating activities.


We were thrilled to welcome back Center Stage Productions, who worked with our students to present Frozen Kids. They performed twice during the school day for different grade levels and once in the evening for families. Their acting, singing, and dancing were absolutely amazing—especially after just eight weeks of rehearsals!


Another highlight was our Lovely Leaps dance class, one of our Vendor-Led programs. This class focused on building a love for dance through fun routines and a variety of styles. The session wrapped up with a great performance after school today—our dancers truly shined!


STEM Challenge Day

Coming up this weekend is the STEM Challenge Day, formerly known as Math Field Day. This long-standing tradition gives students a chance to showcase their skills in math and science through exciting challenges.


A group of dedicated fifth graders will be representing our school as they take on complex math problems and engineering tasks using drones, robotics, and circuitry. They’ve been preparing for months, and we are so proud of their hard work! A big thank you to Mr. Brame for supporting them throughout the process. We recognized them this morning, and we’re all cheering them on for Saturday’s event!


Have a wonderful weekend,

Megan Loh

Glow Party Glow Party

Students are very excited about our Glow Party this evening! As a reminder, this event begins at 5:30 and is only open to current Reidy Creek families. The blacktop will be open for parking, and there will be food for purchase. A HUGE thank you to Pamela Gergy, and all our volunteers who helped organize, set up, and clean up this event. We couldn't have done it without you!

3rd-5th Grade State Testing 3rd-5th Grade State Testing

Once we return from Spring Break, teachers will begin preparing students for end-of-year testing. CAASPP tests are given statewide and provide an opportunity to measure the skills of all students against the same academic standards. Given online, the tests are computer-adaptive, allowing a more precise measurement of individual skills. Parents can use their student’s ELA or mathematics results as one of many indicators of their child’s performance. Our staff uses these results to inform our grade level instruction and compare our school's performance toward achieving our state standards.


We've made a slight adjustment to our testing schedule. Testing is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6th - Friday, May 23rd. Please mark your calendars to avoid scheduling trips or appointments during this time! Thank you in advance for helping ensure all students attend school during testing.


All K-5th grade students will also take the Spring iReady Diagnostic test in May. This test provides excellent data on how students have grown towards grade-level standards this year. The testing window will open on May 12th. Classroom teachers will send out more specific information regarding testing dates.

Yearbook Deadline Yearbook Deadline

It's not too late to get a yearbook! Although the link is no longer active, parents can still send in cash or a check to the main office if you'd like to purchase one. Please make sure that your child's name, grade level, and teacher is on the envelope.

Enrollment for Next Year Enrollment for Next Year

While we are still focused on all the events and activities that are occurring over the next few months, our school has also begun the preliminary planning stages for next year. Since we use current enrollment numbers to help determine the number of classes needed at each grade level, please let your child's teacher (or the front office) know if you plan on not returning to Reidy Creek next year. This greatly helps our planning efforts.
