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.
PTA
Please take a moment to review the PTA Newsletter.
Single Subject Acceleration
Single Subject Acceleration (SSA) is the practice of placing a student in a higher-grade level in one subject area. This type of acceleration is for the purpose of providing access to appropriately challenging learning opportunities in either Math or English Language Arts.
More information can be found here. If after reading this information you are considering SSA for your child, please watch the parent presentation for more in depth information.
This parent information video presented by the Academically Gifted Department reviews all of the important information you need to know if you are considering SSA for your child. Additional questions can be directed to Dianna Stavros at dstavros@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
