Dear Three Creeks Families,

As we move into testing season, we want to share some important information about upcoming state assessments, including IREAD and ILEARN. Please refer to the calendar below for specific testing dates for your child.

At Three Creeks, we know that our students are more than a test score. Each child is unique, full of talents, and growing in their own way. However, these assessments provide valuable insight into their learning progress, and we want them to approach testing with confidence.

We encourage all students to get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast, and come to school ready to give their best effort. This is a great opportunity for them to demonstrate the skills we cultivate every day—communicating their knowledge effectively, caring for themselves by staying focused and positive, and conquering challenges with perseverance.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students learn and grow.

With gratitude,

Mr. Nannenga

Join us on March 20th from 3:30 to 5:30 in the gym for our Disability Awareness Parent Night! The purpose of the event is to educate students and parents on the seven senses, disabilities within those categories, and adaptations available for individuals with disabilities. Students will go through the stations during gym class, but we want to give parents an opportunity to experience those stations too!

Congratulations to our February Super Bears for making safe choices!

Students will visit during library the week of March 10 -14. The book fair will also be open on the evening of Friday 3/14 during Girls Night from 6 to 7:30.

If you need to pick up your child early, we will need to see a valid drivers license in order to verify that you are a legal guardian. If you give permission for someone else to pick up your child, they should be listed in your emergency contacts on skyward.

Visitors may come in and visit a classroom if it has been previously arranged. All visitors must bring their driver's license. Any potential volunteers must complete a background check through our office before volunteering.

If you need to drop something off for your child, you may label it and leave it in the foyer for our staff to deliver. If you need to drop off medication, you will buzz into the office and visit our nurse.

In order to ensure we are keeping our students with food allergies safe, you must send in food for birthdays and parties that are purchased from the store and prepackaged. Ingredient lists must be visible on the packaging. If ingredients are not listed on the package, the food items will not be shared and will be sent home with your child.
