PRINCIPAL'S NOTES
Cold and flu season is here!
According to the CDC and the GA Department of Public Health, the most effective way to reduce the risk of seasonal flu and its complications is to get vaccinated each year. Other good habits like avoiding people who are sick, covering your cough, and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses like the flu. Learn about other prevention measures here: https://bit.ly/gcps_Flu22
Thanksgiving Break is right around the corner!
GCPS students will be on Thanksgiving Break from Monday, November 20 through Friday, November 24. We hope our students and school staff have a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving Break. We look forward to welcoming students and staff members back to learning when classes resume on Monday, November 27.

GOLDEN TICKET CHALLENGE
Did you know that over 35 different languages are spoken in the homes of our Camp Creek Cubs?
That diversity is part of what makes our school beautiful, but also makes it challenging to be sure that we can communicate with every parent effectively.
If you speak English and a language other than English and would be willing to volunteer your time and skills to help, please contact our Parent Liaison, Anna Porter, at anna.porter@gcpsk12.org or (770) 806-7804.
Current translation needs are:
- multilingual help at school events;
- translating small forms for school use.
HEALTH MANAGEMENT PLANS
As we transition from Summer to Fall, we tend to see more issues with asthma and other medical conditions in combination with the common cold.
With that in mind, please remember to bring in emergency medications – such as inhalers, EpiPens, etc. – and complete a Health Management Plan for your student if they have a known medical condition.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Camp Creek ES School Clinic Worker, Ms. Rita Bowers at (770) 806-3780 or rita.bowers@gcpsk12.org .
