 PTA

We are so excited that our PTA is up and running. Please take a moment to join the PTA. You can join here.

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.

Tardies

Please make every effort to ensure your child is on time to school. Our arrival begins at 8:45 am and instruction begins at 9:15 am. It is important that our students are present and ready to learn at 9:15 am.

If you do arrive after 9:15 am, please walk your child in the school to sign them in. Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to creechroadofficestaff@wcpss.net.

Early Check-Outs

Please make every effort to ensure your child remains at school the entire day. Dismissal begins at 3:45 pm. When students check out early, they miss core instruction which will hinder their learning and progress in their grade level. We understand illness, appointments, and emergencies. However, checking your child out early repeatedly will have a negative impact on their progress. Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to creechroadofficestaff@wcpss.net.

Schoolwide Expectations

At Creech Road Elementary School, we expect 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 our school wide expectations and how they can show them each and everyday.

 

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.

We look forward to a great week of growth and learning as we continue to race to success. Thank you for your support, and please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Yours in Partnership,

Dr. Ralph Chew, Principal
