PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE:
Dear Boulder Creek Families,
November is upon us. It brings with it a new trimester, Veteran’s Day, Parent/Teacher Conferences, and Thanksgiving. It won’t be long now, and we will be wrapping up 2023. Time is flying by.
We finished up October and the first trimester showing a huge amount of school spirit by dressing up for each of our Red Ribbon/Spirit-themed days. We have some amazingly creative kids (and parents)! In addition, we had a very successful Halloween dress-up day on Tuesday, October 31st. Students were respectful of the costume guidelines and there was great participation overall. So, the tradition will continue, and we already can't wait for next year!
November is a month of showing thanks. I am thankful for the multitude of wonderful families we have who are a part of the extended Boulder Creek Family. The partnership we share in the education of our children is invaluable.
Sincerely,
Tina Croes

FALL IS THE TIME FOR LOST AND FOUND - JACKETS AND SWEATERS
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES, Nov 13-17
Parent/Teacher Conference Week is coming up November 13th-17th. This is the week before Thanksgiving Break. Teachers will begin scheduling conferences with parents very soon if they haven't already. Conferences will be in person. Yay!
Middle school grades will be conducting student-led conferences with the exception of some mandatory teacher-led conferences. Middle school teachers will reach out to their parents to schedule either a student-led or teacher-led conference with you.
The best way to help your child with his/her success in school is to play an active role along with the classroom teacher. We look forward to sharing your child’s first-trimester progress during conference week.
JOG-A-THON 2023!
The Jog-a-thon will take place on Friday, November 17th on Boulder Creek's lower playground. Pledge sheets will be going home with students soon!
Thank you in advance for your support!

Annual Boulder Creek BOOK FAIR - November 13th- 17th
Along with conferences, the Fall Book Fair is the week of November 14th-18th. Come and shop the great assortment of books and gifts while raising money that goes directly to our school library. The Book Fair will be set up in the library and will be open each day from 7:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. You may gain entrance to the Book Fair only through the office between the hours of 7:30 and 8:00.
Students will have the opportunity to browse and/or buy during their regularly scheduled library times. However, only children with money to purchase will be allowed in the Book Fair before or after school. All backpacks will be neatly lined against the wall in the hallway outside of the library. No backpacks will be allowed at the Book Fair.
Parents, we welcome you throughout the Book Fair week. You may want to consider Book Fair items for Christmas gifts! Check out the Book Fair flyer going home on Monday, November 6th. Or, log onto the Book Fair link HERE to preview what you will find at the Book Fair.
The Parent Club is looking for volunteers to help with running the Book Fair. Volunteers are needed the most before and after school as that is when the Book Fair is the busiest. Volunteers can sign up to help by clicking HERE to sign up!
Thanks so much for supporting our school's library as well as your child's love of reading!
