Sycamore Creek Elementary earned a 5-Star rating on the most recent Ohio School Report Card. There are only 3 other buildings in the district earning this distinction. The state report card is a measure of how our students are performing, not only on the 3-4 grade state tests, but we are also scored on Early Literacy, student attendance, English language proficiency improvement and how well identified groups of students are meeting their growth goal for the year in reading and math. Some of our student groups at SCE include Black, Non-Hispanic, Students with Disabilities, English Learners, and Economically Disadvantaged. All of our student groups continue to not only meet but exceed their expected growth each year.
The teachers and staff work tirelessly to help reach all students year after year. I know many of you have been a part of the building for several years, and know Sycamore Creek is a special place. The success of our students is a direct result of our teachers and the support our families continue to provide.

September is Attendance Awareness Month! – Stay in the Game to Get in the Game
We are excited to announce that Pickerington Local Schools is partnering with The Stay in the Game! Attendance Network, in collaboration with the Cleveland Browns and Columbus Crew, to launch an exciting new initiative – "Stay in the Game! Keep Learning Every Day!" Dedicated to improving student attendance.
September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we know that consistent daily attendance is critical to our students' academic and social success. Missing a school day here and there may seem small, but absences add up quickly! For example:
Missing just two days a month adds up to 20 days a year.
That's 30 hours of math and 60 hours of reading and writing missed over the school year.
These absences can add up to more than one full year of missed school by graduation!
That's why we are committed to uncovering and addressing the barriers that may prevent your child from attending school every day. Together, we can build a school-going culture that ensures our students are prepared for success in every way.
To further encourage daily attendance, Pickerington Local Schools Athletics will award one free ticket to any fall sporting event (except the North vs. Central Football game) to each student with perfect attendance during September. Additionally, students will be recognized at a North or Central Football Game.
Parents, you'll also learn tips and strategies to make school attendance a priority at home.
Every day counts. Let's work together to ensure our students thrive in positive learning environments!
