- Rookie of the Year - Mr. Ashley Mitchell, Intensive Support
- ESS Staff of the Year - Mr. Don Kozuck, Educational Classroom Assistant
Our Football team also hosted the 1st Football Fundamentals & Food Drive on Saturday which was a great event - thank you to all who facilitated & participated! The future is BRIGHT! Oh, yes, Bright as in Coach Bright also held Cheer Tryouts for 24-25 - when Competitive Cheer will be reality at Creek!
We have 3 weeks of classes and final exams left - please see your counselor or administrator if you need support finishing STRONG! We must partner together for school success.
As always, thank you for your support and please reach out if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions.

SAFETY REMINDERS
- Student Drop off/Pick Up is clearly labeled on our new campus signage. Right side parking lot (when facing the front of the school's Main Office). Our priority is safe school arrival & departure for all students and staff.
- Visitors must use the spaces in the drop off lot OR on the right (labeled) side of the front loop. Parking in front of the building is a FIRE LANE violation and we must keep that area clear at all times for EMS access.
- STUDENT PARKING is a privilege available to any student who meets the district policy requirements. Unauthorized vehicles will be towed and vehicles without proper display of issued tag and/or parked in the incorrect location are subject to fines and/or towing as outlined in our Parking Application.
