Drop off and Pick up!

Creekside Student Pick-Up Procedures
To ensure a safe and efficient dismissal process, Creekside utilizes designated pick-up lanes. This system is essential to prevent traffic from backing up onto Baker Road and to allow our school buses to exit the property safely.
 
While the process may seem lengthy at times, it moves efficiently when all procedures are followed. You will have ample time to cross Baker Road and pick up your children from DEEC, Wylie, and Mill Creek.
 
Upon entering the lot, a staff member will direct you into the appropriate lane. When your lane is released, please pull as far forward as possible. This allows us to load multiple students quickly and helps keep traffic moving smoothly.
To ensure the safety of all students, please adhere to the following guidelines:
 
  • Pick up your child(ren) from the south parking lot only.
    (The north lot is reserved for buses and staff vehicles.)
  • Pick up students at the curb.
  • Remain in your vehicle at all times.
  • Move forward when signaled by a staff member.
  • Do not allow your child(ren) to walk into the parking lot unattended.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and organized dismissal for all students.

End of day plans

We have had many students calling home from the office to confirm their end of day plans. Please make sure your child knows their end of day plans before leaving for the day. Thank you!

Our Facebook page has moved!

This new page will be our main spot for updates, photos, and all things Creekside. Our previous page will no longer be active, so be sure to follow this new one to stay in the loop. We’re excited for this fresh start and can’t wait to share what’s happening at Creekside with you! Creekside Intermediate School Facebook Page

Need to leave early?

Please call the attendance line as early as possible to let us know if you plan to pick up your child early. Use the Creekside attendance form to sign your child in and out of school.
 
Before 2:30-pull to the front of the building and come in to sign your child out in the office.
 
Please avoid picking up your child in the last 15 minutes of the school day. It is a very busy time of day and has the potential of interfering with dismissal.
Thank you!!

Cellphone Policy

Phones and phone watches should be off and away during school hours. Student should ask their teacher for permission to come to the office to call home if needed.
