24-25 CMS Virtual Colt Camp
ALL CMS students need to attend Virtual Colt Camp
Welcome to Creekwood Middle School
Welcome to Creekwood Middle School, home of the Colts. We are excited to have you join us for the 24-25 school year. Creekwood is a wonderful community of caring and supportive staff, students and families that work together to support students in their academic growth and their social emotional needs. Being a Creekwood Colt means embracing and living our core values every day. It is about building a strong community where everyone feels connected and valued, taking ownership of our actions and learning, demonstrating leadership by inspiring and supporting others, and showing tenacity in the face of challenges. It is the COLT Way, and we are looking forward to having you join our family. If you have any questions about the start of the school year, you will find contact information throughout our virtual camp, and we welcome you to reach out with any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing everyone on August 7, 2024 as we kick off another successful school year.

Step #3 Set Up Lunch Accounts
Step #4 7th grade and 8th Grade ONLY - Upload Physicals and Complete Rank One
If your child will be participating in athletics, cheer, drill team, or high school band (Not PE) during the 2024-2025 school year, you will need to complete an Emergency Card, sign the Humble ISD/UIL Rules, and, if playing football, complete the Helmet Form. These forms, along with a current physical on file (dated after Feb. 1st, 2024) must be completed prior to being allowed to participate next school year. All physicals must be completed on the Humble ISD Physical Form. Click here for a link to the form.
The forms may be found online at http://tiny.cc/humblesport . It is recommended to complete the forms as a guest rather than making an account.
Additionally, if your child has a medical condition that necessitates the use of medication (asthma, diabetes, seizures, severe allergies, etc.) it is required that they have their medication at every practice or game. Please be prepared to provide necessary medications to their athletic trainer/coach before they will be allowed to participate. Medications may be picked up by the student following the end of the season or school year. This requirement is for the safety of your child as athletic trainers or coaches do not have any emergency medication. Paperwork regarding the medication must be on file with the school clinic.
Ways to Support CMS and Get Involved!
CMS PTA
Check out our PTA Website, to find out how to get more involved with Creekwood Middle School. Our PTA is very active, and it is a wonderful way to stay up to date with activities and find other parents to connect with. You will also find the PTA links for social media.
CMS Annual Fund
Click here to support our students and teachers with a donation to the CMS Annual Fund.
The CMS Annual Fund is a joint effort between Creekwood Middle School, the CMS PTA and the Humble ISD Education Foundation to raise funds to help us achieve our academic vision. With our Annual Fund, we have been able to enhance technology for students, provide a more extensive Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support program, provide flexible seating in our classrooms and other learning areas. Annual Fund gifts have also allowed us to send teachers to professional development opportunities giving them the training they will use that directly benefits our students. This next year we are working on the modernization and enrichment of our campus library. The library serves as a critical resource center for our children, fostering a love for reading, research skills, and academic achievement. With the additional flexible learning areas and acquisition of new books, including literature that reflects our students' backgrounds and interests we will aim to create a vibrant hub for research, creativity, and intellectual exploration while continuing to focus on our continuous improvement of academic outcomes.

School Supplies

If supplies were pre-ordered by July 1, 2024, they will be delivered directly to your home address.
Creekwood has recently been remodeled and we no longer have hallway lockers for our 6th grade students. Please make sure that your student has a backpack to use throughout the day to transport their binders and materials.
If you are enrolled in PE, Pre-athletics, Athletics, or Dance you will need to provide your own combination lock for the locker room lockers. We suggest purchasing early and practicing before school starts.
