What an amazing full week we had and now getting ready for a long weekend! This week our students have been getting used to our new reading curriculum Wit &Wisdom, they persevered through our FastBridge assessments and had a great time racing through the obstacle course during our half day. A big thank you to the PTO for the fancy water bar they provided our staff. Much needed on a hot day:) I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend! We will see our students back on Wednesday!

We are so excited to get Comet Cruisers Running Club up and going again this year! This club is optional for 3rd - 5th grade students at Cedar Creek Elementary School as the goal of this club is to prepare students who choose to participate in the Jared Coones Memorial Pumpkin 5K Run/Walk on October 12th.

The safety and security of all our students is our number one priority. To ensure our students are dismissed appropriately you MUST let our office know if you are altering your child's dismissal plan. You can call 913-780-7360 or email CCattendance@olatheschools.org. All changes must be made by 3:30PM. If such communication is not made your child will go home as indicated by their teacher.

Vision screenings will be conducted starting Monday, August 26th and continue throughout the months of September and October for students in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grades as well as students in 4th grade who are new to the district. Hearing screenings for the same group of students will take place on Thursday, September 26th. You will be contacted by the school nurse if your student does not pass either of their screenings. Please contact Nurse Carla at cmclark@olatheschools.org with any questions or concerns regarding these screenings. We need a few parent volunteers to help hearing screenings run smoothly. If you are interested in helping on the morning of September 26th, please contact Nurse Carla.

We are still looking for volunteers. If you’re interested in a committee please sign up below!
