As this will be the last Weekly Paws of 2023, we wanted to take this opportunity to wish each member of our CCES family a memorable holiday season! We know that this can be a very busy time of year! Our hope is that you will be able to take time to talk with your children about the traditions of your family – and most importantly, that you will be able to stay well and take time to be together as a family and enjoy your children as we wrap up the calendar year.

• GCPS Winter Break is scheduled for Dec. 18, 2023 - Jan. 3, 2024.

• We hope our Camp Creek ES Cubs have a safe and relaxing Winter Break and look forward to their return on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024!

For those of you who like to plan ahead, the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school year calendars are now available on the school district's website. Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) has adopted school calendars for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years. The decision to adopt the new calendars was made after listening to GCPS families and staff. To view the calendars, visit https://www.gcpsk12.org/Page/37751

We are seeking English-speaking Camp Creek parents interested in volunteering ONE hour a week for one-on-one conversation support for Camp Creek parents enrolled in our Spring Semester Adult English class. Contact Anna Porter for more information if you're interested in helping! anna.porter@gcpsk12.org

Our Cubs earn Cubby Cash for following “PAWS” at school.

Cubby Cash is awarded when students are: Practicing Good Manners, Actively Participating, Working Together, and Showing Self Control.

Cubs then get to spend their Cubby Cash at the Cubby Cash Store each month!

Are you ready for Spirit Nights!?

What is a Spirit Night?

When a local business around Lilburn is willing to donate a portion of their profit to OUR school, when we buy from them!
