Tuesday, November 5 is a scheduled Digital Learning Day (DLD) for all students.

This is the second of four at-home asynchronous learning days this school year that will provide additional planning time for teachers.

Note that students can access lessons in eCLASS but will not have virtual class time with their teachers on these scheduled DLDs.

On Tuesday, November 5, GCPS will provide meals via bus distribution. Families should expect buses to run their routes from approximately 10:45 a.m. to noon, beginning at the first stops on the route. These delivered meals are provided at no cost to families, and are provided to anyone 18 years old and under.

Did you know? Chronic absenteeism is missing 10% or more of school days. That’s just 2 days a month! In GCPS, regular attendance is key to student success.

Chronic absenteeism is widely defined as missing 10% or more of the number of school days a student is enrolled. In Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS), where a school year consists of 180 days, 18 missed school days, whether excused or unexcused, would be considered chronically absent.

This year our Camp Creek ES PTA Health Committee has organized the following events in honor of Red Ribbon Week, October 21 through October 25:

• Monday, October 21 - WEAR RED !
• Wear any and all things RED!!
  
• Tuesday, October 22 - SOCK IT TO DRUGS
• WEAR SILLY, CRAZY SOCKS
• Wednesday, October 23 - HATS OFF to being DRUG FREE!
• Wear a hat or cap!
• Thursday, October 24 - My Future is BRIGHT without DRUGS!
• Wear NEON / BRIGHT COLORS!
• Friday, October 25 - PAWSitively DRUG FREE!
• Wear SPIRITWEAR and your RED RIBBON!

Red Ribbon Week is a national drug prevention and awareness campaign that began with the murder of Enrique Camarena, an undercover DEA agent, in 1985.

Coalitions began to form by those outraged by his death and the devastation drugs in this country caused - they wore red ribbons to honor him.

By wearing a red ribbon in October, Americans pledge their opposition to drug abuse.

Across the nation, students are pledging to avoid tobacco, drugs, alcohol, and violence.

DID YOU KNOW? Children of parents who talk to teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t – yet only a quarter of teens report having these conversations?!

The 2024 RED RIBBON WEEK theme is…Life is A Movie, Film Drug Free.™

Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week® and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs.

What is a Spirit Night?

When a local business around Lilburn is willing to donate a portion of

their profit to OUR school, when we buy from them!

How do I participate?

Go to the business hosting the Spirit Night, order and say:

“We are here for Camp Creek Elementary School’s Spirit Night!”

(or use the code CAMPCREEK in Chick-fil-a’s mobile app!)

*Pay attention to the Weekly PAWS to see which Spirit Night is coming up.*
