Stories Creek Weekly Reminders

Our school competition is at 9am on Thursday, 3/26. We can't wait to see the students' hard work pay off! Students in second-fifth grade will be in the crowd to cheer on our teams and see who goes on to represent us at the district level competition.

UNC has partnered with us to survey current 3rd grade parents to gather feedback on their child’s transition from 2nd to 3rd grade. This information will help us identify ways to better support students and families as academic expectations and accountability increase in 3rd grade. The survey has also been shared via social media and will be available in English and Spanish.

2025-2026 School Calendar (Spanish)

Arrival: Students can arrive from 7:55-8:20. Students are counted tardy after 8:25am. An adult is required to walk the student in and sign him/her in at the office.

Dismissal: Students are released at 3:00pm. Due to dismissal procedures, we ask that students do not check out after 2:40pm without prior approval from an administrator.

Transportation Changes: Transportation changes need to be made prior to 2pm. If it is a same day change, it must be communicated to the main office. Teachers may not be able to check dojo throughout the day.

Attendance “Myth Busters”

Myth: A day or two doesn’t matter

Fact: Just 2 days a month = a whole school year lost by high school

Myth: Elementary absences don’t impact later success

Fact: Early attendance sets the tone for graduation

Attendance when Sick:

As for attendance during sickness, please remember that students must be fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication prior to returning to school. Also, for students who have had upset stomachs, they must be 24 hours symptom free before returning to school. While we stress the importance of attendance, healthy students is a top priority. Please do your part in keeping others healthy. If your child misses school due to sickness, please send a note to your chlid's teacher to have the absence excused.

We are excited to have new cones this year. The picture above shows our morning car line and afternoon car line (post fastpass). Please follow the traffic pattern established by the cones to ensure student safety. A cone means- do not drive in this area.

Car riders will dismiss at 3pm daily. For the safety of our staff and students, please follow the directions of any staff members helping with car line.

Important Reminders:

-Please remain in your vehicles (with the exception of students who need mobility assistance).

-Please follow the directions of staff members. To keep traffic out of Chub Lake Rd, they will be directing you to move up to specific cones before allowing your child to get in.

-Staff will open the car door for students to enter the vehicle, but they will not be responsible for buckling the student in.

We ask for your patience as the beginning of school year car line runs a little slowly at first. It will move faster once everyone is more familiar with the processes.
