THIS WEEK IN THE CREEK
Introducing the 2024 Annual Report
We're excited to introduce our 2024 Annual Report, where we reflect on a year of progress, innovation, and focus on our goals.
Guided by the theme of "Vision," this report highlights the milestones we’ve achieved and the strategic outlook that continues to drive our district forward. With a commitment to transparency and excellence, we invite you to explore how our vision has shaped every decision, inspired growth, and positioned us for an even brighter future.
WARD#5 BOARD ELECTION
Elections for the Ward #5 Deer Creek School Board of Education seat will be held on February 11, 2025. We have three candidates running for office: Chris Adamson, Lisa Antonelli and Marie Sevin.
In the next video of this four-part series, you'll learn what has prepared our candidates to be board members, how they think we can improve safety in our schools and their ideas for recruiting and retaining quality teachers in our district.
We'll be releasing one video each week leading up to the election. You also can learn more about the candidates online.

SCREENAGERS: GROWING UP IN A DIGITAL AGE
Make plans to join us on February 25, 2025
SCREENAGERS is the first feature documentary to explore the impact of screen technology on kids and offer parents and families proven solutions that work. What started out as a personal story for one has grown into a national movement, helping millions of teens and their families navigate growing up in a world with instant access to screens.
We are excited to host a special screening of SCREENAGERS on Feburary 25, 2025 at the Deer Creek PAAC. The event will begin at 6 p.m., starting with a showing of the film, followed by a discussion from local mental health experts. Attendance is free, however, registration is preferred to ensure we do not exceed capacity in the auditorium.
We've heard from parents, staff and community members that they would like additional resources for navigating cell phone use with young people. This event will provide you with information and tools to feel more confident dealing with this issue.
