Come as you are to celebrate differences during ability awareness week.
|
It's okay to be different. In fact, it's pretty cool!
Everyone being different is what makes humans beautiful. If we were the same, we would be boring.
|
On Mismatched Day, wear mismatched clothes or socks.
Today, we explore the difference between inclusion and exclusion.
|
Wear your Dexter gear or favorite jersey.
|
Notice the heroes around you!

Dropping an item off for your child?
If you need to drop off an item for your child during the school day, please place it on the table in the front vestibule and complete the white/pink slip. Tape the slip to the item so our office staff can deliver it to your student as soon as possible.
Please try to avoid dropping off items close to dismissal unless it is an emergency.
When placing students, we consider many criteria to provide a balanced educational experience for all children. Your input is an important part of the placement process. A great deal of care goes into making appropriate classroom assignments. To maintain the integrity of this process, parent requests for specific teachers will not be considered.
On this form you will find a request for more information about your child to assist us in the placement process. Please complete this form on or before April 24, 2026. The survey will close following April 24, 2026
If you have more than one Creekside student, please fill out a form for each student.
Your child’s placement will be e-mailed to you in late August.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to having your child at Creekside next year.
