Dear Hortons Creek Elementary Parents/Guardians,
Happy Friday Families! PLEASE READ the information below…we need your input and follow through!
But first, I wanted to share that I will be retiring July 1, 2024. I have had so much fun and enjoyed working with you and your students daily! This school community is a special place. I will certainly miss all of you!
If you’d like to provide your input into the qualities you’d like to see from the next principal, please be on the lookout for communication from our PTA President, Ms. Allie Hartnett. She will be working with the Area Superintendent, Mr. Seydric Williams, on scheduling a virtual input session.
Next week is Teacher/Staff Appreciation week! Please see below all of the exciting plans our PTA has planned for us so that you can support your student(s) teacher and other adults in the building that support your student(s).
Complete The WCPSS Family Survey: 95 responses so far, we need more (CLICK HERE)
We want to make your student’s school experience as positive and beneficial as possible. In doing so, we encourage you to complete our family survey for each school where you have a student enrolled. Parents or guardians with more than one student enrolled at a school should only complete the survey for that school once. Please complete the survey by May 17.
KEEP PERSONAL ITEMS AT HOME
Families, students are bringing personal items to school that should be kept at home. Please review what’s in our Parent/Student Handbook below and ensure your student follows these procedures. Thanks!
WHAT TO BRING/WHAT NOT TO BRING TO SCHOOL:
Students should be prepared each day with paper, pencils and other school supplies. Any money brought to school - lunch money, picture money and book money - should be in a sealed envelope with the child’s name and the teacher’s name on front. Students should not bring extra money to school.
Students may NOT bring toys or athletic equipment to school. The school is not responsible for lost or damaged personal items. Toys and trinkets like:
Rubix cubes, keychains with toys attached, tech decks(mini skateboards), fidgets, spinners, putty/slime, figurines, toy cars, stuffed animals, journals, pens with items that are distracting, excessive accessories (hair accessories, headbands with distracting attachments), slap bracelets, bracelets with toys attached, pop-its, fans, beyblades, cards (Pokémon, baseball, playing cards, etc).
Radios (headphones, air pods), and hand-held games or other such items are not allowed.
Personal devices like computers/tablets, phones, watches must be in sleep mode and/or theater mode so that screens are off. Phones/computers/tablets must be in backpacks at all times.
If items are made visible, they will be confiscated by the administration. Items will be released to parents/guardians only. To protect our building and furniture, chewing gum is not allowed.
