My, how the time has flown!

Can you believe that we are embarking upon the LAST WEEK of the 2024-2025 school year?!

We want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU for entrusting us with your student(s). It is an honor to be able to work with them each and every day!

We are looking forward to celebrating the end of a successful school year with your child/children through many fun and exciting culminating events and activities next week. If you are uncertain about any upcoming events or activities, please give us a call at the school so that we can answer any questions and ensure you have correct dates, times, etc.

• As a reminder, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2025 is the last day of the SY24-25 for students.

We look forward to celebrating a remarkable year of learning in the 3 days we have remaining in the 2024-25 school year!!

Please remember that any student who rides GCPS Transportation MUST have their bookbag with attached GCPS transportation tag to ride the bus home on the last day of school!

If your child has medications in the clinic, please pick them up by the end of the school year. If medications are not picked up by May 22, Mrs. Bowers will need to dispose of them.

GCPS Transportation Forms were previously sent home via Friday Folder. We are asking that you complete the form for the 2025-2026 school year and return it to school by May 12, 2025. Having this information in advance allows GCPS transportation to print the correct tag for your student's bookbag.

• You should indicate grade level for the SY25-26 school year.
• You should not put a teacher name at this time.
• Check either GCPS bus, walker, OR car rider and mark a.m., p.m., OR both.
• Select your child's primary mode of transportation when completing the form.
• Please be sure to read the guidelines provided on the back of the form.

If your student WILL BE returning to Camp Creek Elementary School for the 2025-26 school year, please be sure to:

• update parent / emergency information through ParentVue.
• You will be asked to verify emergency contacts when you return for SY 25-26.
• return the GCPS Transportation Form that was sent home indicating how your child will be going home from school next year (see above).
  

If your student will be leaving Camp Creek Elementary School, you will need to withdraw them.

• This also applies to current fifth grade students who will not be attending Trickum Middle School in the Fall. Contact Crystal Knox, Crystal.Knox@gcpsk12.org, prior to Friday, May 16.
• Any outstanding library books, textbooks, and / or school issued devices will need to be returned in order for us to process your withdrawal without delay!
