Please also be reminded that Creekside High School is a clear-book bag campus, and students are always expected to adhere to dress code expectations daily. Bags out of compliance will be confiscated by grade level admin and returned only to a parent/guardian.

Students in the school system are expected to dress and groom themselves in such a way as to reflect neatness, cleanliness, and safety. All students shall dress appropriately so as not to disrupt or interfere with the educational program or the orderly operation of the school. Examples of inappropriate dress and grooming include lack of cleanliness in person or dress; shoe lessness; "short-short" clothing; bare midriffs; "tank tops"; "see-through" clothing or apparel which designates gangs or similar organizations or any dress that is disruptive to the educational process. Designated dress involving school activities approved by the principal shall be acceptable. The principal or other duly authorized school official shall determine whether any particular mode of dress or grooming results in a violation of the spirit and/or the intent of this rule.

1. Clothing, including administratively approved spirit wear, must be modest and of appropriate length and fit. Extremely tight clothing, sagging shorts or trousers, or baggy, oversized clothing is not permitted.

2. Clothing and/or jewelry must not contain words or symbols that are gang-related, offensive, insulting, embarrassing, obscene, or promote illegal behavior.

3. Clothing and/or jewelry must not contain any advertisement or display of words or symbols associated with alcohol, illegal drugs, or tobacco.

4. Appropriate undergarments must be worn at all times and must not be visible.

5. Head wraps, bandanas, hoods, or other head coverings (du-rags/wave caps/bonnets/gaitor

6. masks/ski masks) cannot be worn in the school building during the school day unless there is a special activity where they are deemed appropriate by the school administration. Exceptions to this rule are headwraps worn for religious purposes.

7. Appropriate shoes must be worn at all times at school and school sponsored activities. No house slippers are allowed.

Additionally, per the Fulton County Code of Conduct, personal communication devices (i.e., cell phones) are not allowed during instructional class time unless permission is provided by the teacher or other school staff member. Cell phones out of compliance will be confiscated and returned only to a parent/guardian. Repeated offenses may result in the student losing the privilege of having a cell phone on campus for the academic year.

Cell phones are also strictly prohibited for non-educational purposes, including recording fights, battery, or other inappropriate content. Consequences for doing so may result in a disciplinary hearing referral for long-term suspension.

We invite you to be an active participant in our school community through volunteering, joining our PTSA, School Governance Council, or supporting school events. When parents participate and are involved in their child’s education, there is a greater likelihood of success. We look forward to continuing our work as partners and eagerly anticipate a meaningful year of learning and engagement for our students!

Creekside High School PTSA is an organization where Parents, Teachers and Students work together to make every child's potential a reality. We accomplish this goal by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

Commitment: Our PTSA is dedicated to promoting children's health, well-being, and educational success through strong parent, family, and community involvement at Creekside High School.

We need your support! Please join via the link below. Membership is $10 annually. Students can join too!

Daily advisement is where we aim to foster positive school culture by developing our students through social-emotional education via Fulton County Schools Student Success Skills curriculum. Advisement will also help build students' college success skills and literacy through AVID School Wide strategies. Our weekly advisement schedule is outlined below.

Morning Advisement is a daily RECORDED ATTENDANCE period. It is critical that your students arrive at school daily and on time every day. We do not want them to miss out on the opportunity to develop the social skills that will make them successful students and citizens of our community. We also also do not want their attendance negatively impacted by not attending advisement.

Our technology team will begin distributing student devices this week. Parents, please be advised that students will be assessed a fine of $100 for damage and $250 for lost laptops. These fees will be charged to their student accounts. Please ensure that your child manages their device appropriately to avoid these fees.

The new Fulton County Schools Student Code of Conduct & Discipline Handbook (2023-24) will be ready to start receiving parent/guardian signatures starting on August 8, 2023.
