The end of the school year is quickly approaching which means, lots of year end events at Rush Creek. If you plan to attend any of the in-school year end events, we ask that you have a completed Volunteer Form. The link to the form is below. These are good for 1 year, so if you haven't already filled one out this year, please do so.

If you are going to be chaperoning an off-site field trip you will need to also complete a background check. Please watch for communication from teachers, and complete it immediately as they take time to process. Chaperones without a completed background check will not be allowed to attend.

MCA testing will be held on the following dates and times for grades 3-5. It is important that students are in school on the day they are scheduled to complete the test and have had a good night sleep and breakfast. Please remember that breakfast is available to all students at school for free! If you have questions about your student's testing dates and times please reach out to their classroom teacher for more information.

Become familiar with the type of pollen that triggers your allergies, so you can prevent or reduce symptoms. You can best manage your exposure by understanding when pollen is especially high in your area and begin taking medication in advance of the season. Your medical provider can help you identify the source of your allergies and determine the best treatment.
