Weekly Mill Creek SOAR'n Updates
Week of February 9, 2026
To ensure we continue providing positive learning environments and limitless opportunities for our students, we are participating in the West Virginia School Learning Environment Survey for parents/caregivers, students in grades 3–12, and staff.
These surveys are conducted online and provide critical information about the learning/teaching environment, the health and well-being of students and staff, and support for parents.
We are asking for all surveys to be completed by February 27. Please contact us with any questions. Your opinions matter!
- Link to Access the Parent/Caregiver Survey:
https://forms.office.com/r/mXGLXGUApV - Select the “District” where the school is located. (Berkeley County)
- Select the “School” where the child attends school (Mill Creek Intermediate)
(Selecting “Other” may invalidate a submitted response)

Additionally, if you do not want your child to participate in the West Virginia School Learning Environment Survey for Students, please click the link below and print or email the form to your student's teacher. Students will be taking the survey in computer lab class.
Thank you in advance for your support and participation!
Your students will be bringing home an Anderson's Candies spring fundraiser for our school. For over a century, Anderson’s Candies has been crafting delicious chocolates and confections, rooted in family tradition and community support. They are a fourth-generation family owned business in Baden, PA. This fundraiser will be used to benefit our students at Mill Creek. While participation is voluntary, we encourage you to take a look at the brochure and treat yourself or family to some delicious candy! All brochures and money is due March 3. Delivery will be before spring break.
Students will have the opportunity to shop for books and other related items from the fair during their library and PE class times during the week of March 9-13. Participation is optional. There will be a family shopping time on Thursday, March 12, after school from 4-6.
As soon as the fair is set up, pictures will be posted on Schoology for browsing. Flyers will be sent home before the fair starts, during library classes. The fair is already open online for online shopping. More information to shop online for home delivery can be found here: Link to MCI Literati Book Fair
We need parent volunteers to help with various tasks during the book fair. You must be already registered with Secure Volunteer and have completed the Megan’s Law training (the same as being a chaperone for a field trip). Sign up here to volunteer at the book fair: link to volunteer to help at Book Fair
Payment for items from the book fair can be made using cash, credit, or prepaid digital gift cards. NEW THIS SPRING: Cash purchases will not use pennies! The cash registers are set up for cash purchases to be rounded up or down to the nearest five cents. Credit and digital gift card payments will not be rounded. There will be 6% WV sales tax collected from all purchases. More information to set up a prepaid digital gift card can be found on the book fair webpage listed above or through this link: Literati gift card link
Schoology will be our main platform for daily communication. We will not be using Class Dojo this school year. Please note that you should not send time sensitive information through online platforms or email. Teachers may not get these notes while they are teaching. If you have information that is an emergency, please call the front office or send in a written note to your child's teacher.
It is vital that you set up your parent account. All parents will receive an individualized code to set up your student's account if you aren't already connected. YOU MUST LOG IN WITH YOUR PARENT ACCOUNT TO SEE TEACHER MESSAGES. YOU CANNOT USE YOUR CHILD'S ACCOUNT.
Schoology is also where you can stay involved with your child's academics. You will be able to see your child's grades, missing assignments and assignments that are due.

The Jostens Renaissance Program is a framework of culture where teachers love their job and students thrive in school. It is built on common core values and expectations. At Mill Creek, our Renaissance program is built around the core values of Safety, Ownership, Achievement and Respect. Students and staffulty will receive recognition and rewards when following these core values. Each day, our students will have the opportunity to earn a SOAR point based on these values. You can find the guidelines on the back of their daily folders.
We have partnered with YE Creations again for our school spirit wear. You order online and she will deliver to the school free of charge. Just mark 'pick up' when you check out. Click here to see the newest creations: Mill Creek Intermediate Spirit Wear 2025
