PTA

We are so excited that our PTA is up and running. Please take a moment to join the PTA. You can join here. To reach out to our PTA, you can email the officers at ptacreechroad@gmail.com.

Tournament of 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.

To encourage student attendance, we are starting our tournament of attendance. The grade level with the highest attendance percentage at the end of each month will earn a celebration. We will kick the Tournament of Attendance off on February 1, 2025.

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
