CRES will use responsive, data-driven teaching practices, to empower, engage, and educate our diverse community of learners to succeed using 21st Century Skills. We commit to building an inclusive culture that empowers students, staff, and community partners so that everyone can feel supported in reaching their full potential.

We are excited about the instruction and learning that is happening in the building. Please be sure to ask your child about what they are learning each day. Students have been engaged in rigorous lessons that help them use and build their creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills.

October 25: Fun Friday

October 28 - November 1: Red Ribbon Spirit Week

October 31: End of Quarter 1

Tutoring Opportunity

We are excited to announce that The Family Academy is partnering with the Southeast YMCA to launch "The Family Academy School," an initiative that provides essential educational resources for both parents/caregivers and children. Parents/caregivers will have the opportunity to attend workshops designed to equip them with tools for supporting their children’s academic success.

While parents participate in these valuable workshops, their children (K-5th grade) will receive focused tutoring in literacy. This program allows families to grow and learn together.

Program Details:

When: Saturdays, 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.  (starting date will be shared if your child is selected)

Focus: Literacy Tutoring for K-5th grade students 

Requirement: Parents or caregivers must attend educational workshops while their children are being tutored. 

Registration: Space is limited. Participation will be on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified if your child has been offered a spot for tutoring.

We look forward to this opportunity for families to grow and learn together! To express your interest in participating, please complete the form below.

We will notify you once your registration has been confirmed. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. MariaRosa Rangel by email at mrangel1@wcpss.net.

Carpool

Thank you for your patience and understanding of our carpool procedures. If you are walking your child to the front entrance in the morning, please park in an open parking space. When you pull to the curb, it delays other cars, and our buses and vans from getting through as traffic is no longer a smooth flow. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Our goal is to have the carpool line complete by 4:15 p.m. If you arrive after the cones have been taken inside, please park in the carpool lane, grab your Carpool Hang Tag or photo ID, and walk to the Front Office Door to pick your child up. Please do not park in the bus loop, as we still have buses arriving after 4:15pm.

Food Delivery

We know the convenience of food delivery services such as Grubhub and DoorDash. However, we will not accept food deliveries for students for safety reasons. Please do not order food to be delivered for your child to the school. We will not accept them.

Attendance

Your child’s attendance at school matters. It is important that your child is at school each day for the entirety of the instructional day. When students arrive at school late or leave early, they miss valuable instructional time that supports their learning and growth. While we understand that there are circumstances where a student must be absent (i.e., illness, injury, etc.), picked up early from school, or arrive late to school, we also want you to know that your child’s attendance at school matters. 

Schoolwide Expectations

At Creech Road Elementary School, we want all our students to R.O.A.R.

Respect- Treat others the way you want to be treated

          Operate with Safety- Follow directions and keep hands/feet to yourself

          Actively Participate- Ask and answer questions.

           Responsibility- Be on task, complete work, look at and listen to the speaker

Please speak with your child about following the schoolwide expectations.

Transportation Changes

Teachers have documented each student's normal mode of transportation (bus/carpool/van rider), changes to this method of transportation must be made in writing and sent via email to creechroadofficestaff@wcpss.net. For safety reasons, the sooner we are notified, the better.

Camp Read-A-Lot

 

We look forward to another great week of growth and learning as we continue to race to success. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Yours in Partnership,

Dr. Ralph Chew, Principal
