March Edition


Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello CES parents and community!  It is so nice to have the sun out today!  Coming off 3 straight weeks of snow and rain, the sun is a welcoming sight!

Spring Break is upon us and I truly hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break.

Spring Break dates: March 21-29




Habit of the Month!

Habit 7 - Sharpen the Saw

  • I eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep (body).
  • I learn in lots of places, not just at school (brain).
  • I spend time with family and friends (heart).
  • I take time to find meaningful ways to help people (soul).
  • I balance all four parts of myself

Hello Creekside Parents!  Below are a few Morning Traffic Reminders that will help keep our traffic running smoothly and keep everyone safe!!

*North Side Drop Off begins at 7:05 and ends at 7:25.

*South Side Park & Walk Up begins at 7:20 and ends at 7:35.

*When the North Side closes, please use the South Side Park & Walk Up.  You will need to park your car and walk your child to the crosswalk / sidewalk. 

*When the South Side closes, you need to walk your child into the Front Office and sign him/her in. 

*The driveway next to our marque is EXIT ONLY until after 7:35.  If you missed the turn for South Side Park & Walk Up, the North Side entrance will be available for turn around after 7:25.

*Please do not drop your child off by the sidewalk and drive off at the Front Office or South Side Park & Walk Up. 


Following these reminders will be a WIN-WIN for everyone!  Habit #4!!
