A Note from Ms. Marlatt
Dear Bison Families,
February came and went with a bang. This short month brought lots of opportunities for fun and learning to our school. We completed our 2nd annual One School One Book and fell in love with the Wild Robot Roz. Thank you for coming along on this fun journey. We celebrated Leap Year by hunting frogs all over the school. We also celebrated reading on March 1st - Read Across America Day! Now we gear up for March - and look forward to field trips, parent-teacher conferences, the book fair and Spring Break!
The best way to take advantage of all the fun is to make sure your child is here on time, everyday. We see huge success and growth when students come to school on a consistent basis.
In the same topic, we need your help! We offer breakfast for all of our students starting at 7:30am. Students don't have a lot of time to eat breakfast, so it is important that you drop off your student right at 7:30am to take advantage of breakfast in the morning. Many times we have students coming in close to the bell of after the bell and needing to eat. This creates a problem for our staff as students need to be supervised. If your student is eating breakfast, please make sure they arrive at school as close to 7:30am as possible!
Last but not least, we continue to need your help with our Parent Climate Survey. Right now we only have 60 responses. Please take a few minutes to participate in the survey. It will help us a lot.
We hope you enjoy the videos below - our monthly Parade celebration, and also This Week at Second Creek.
Thank you for sharing your children with us,
Ana Marlatt

Traffic Reminders
If you are a returning family to Second Creek, you know our parking lot is small and needs special care during morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Thank you for contributing to the overall safety of our staff and students!
If you are a new family to Second Creek, please read the information below carefully. Staff and sometimes Commerce City police are out during morning drop off and afternoon dismissal to make sure everyone is safe.
Parents, it is very important that we do not park on the bus lane before or after school. Blocking the bus causes delays that go beyond our school.
Here are a few reminders about our drop off and pick up procedures. You know that Commerce City police pops in once in a while and issue tickets to vehicles that are not following our safety rules... so please make sure you are doing what you can do keep our students and staff safe!
- No parked cars in the "no parking zone" - which is by the sidewalk from the beginning of the parking lot all the way to the front doors. This is a fire lane and also a bus lane. There is NO PARKING anytime. Only drop off or pick up. We have noticed many cars parked waiting for the school to open in the morning, blocking the bus and causing lines of cars that go all the way outside the parking lot. Please drop off your student and go - no parking.
- Same rules apply for pick up after school.
- Students can be dropped off at 7:30am. We do not have supervision for students who are dropped off before these times.
- If you drop your student off late, you have to come in and sign your student in at the front office.
- Students must be picked up at 3:30pm every day. We do not have staff to supervise students after school.
- Let us know if you need information about our before and after-school program.
- Please only use the handicap parking if you have a handicap license.
- The Staff of the Month parking is for staff only at all times.
We appreciate your cooperation!
