Dear Parents,
We are so pleased that all of you who are able to receive email have elected to receive communications via the web. This is going to be a tremendous savings for Creek View and you will not be inundated with papers. Today it may not appear that the plan is working! You have only two email links to pdf files and 5 different colorful flyers in your student's folder. Never fear, we are working out some kinks in this process.
Read this paragraph if you ever plan to create a flyer for distribution:
Essentially we all have to get used to the idea that any items submitted for distribution must be emailed to Mrs. Gerlich by Wednesday, approved for distribution by Admin. and then they can be uploaded and posted in your weekly Thursday Folder email announcement. With a little help, any document can be converted into a pdf file. In fact if you use Google docs you don't even need to purchase Adobe Pdf Maker, so it's free. Other such services exist as well. In addition, hand written documents can be scanned as pdf files or embedded into documents and then turned into pdf files. Once the pdf has been approved, you would simply provide 100 copies that we could use for the handful of people who need them and as back up copies.
- Monthly PTA Newsletter, Creek View Connections
- Grade Levels will email/send their own newsletters at the beginning of each month.

Fulton County District Web Message Just Release 1:28 PM
Fulton County District Web Message Just Release 1:28 PM
On September 8, President Barack Obama will host a special webcast directed to schoolchildren.
As you know, the Fulton County School System focuses on instruction and teaching the state’s new curriculum, the Georgia Performance Standards, so that students can achieve – and exceed – their personal and educational goals. Daily instructional time is a precious resource; therefore, schools are under no obligation to watch the hour-long address, either through the webcast or on CSPAN.
In the event a school plans to show the broadcast, parents will be notified ahead of time as well as be provided an opportunity to opt out their students through the form below. Although suggested lesson plans have been shared, they will not be used since they are not a part of the required state curriculum. No child will be penalized if he or she does not participate in the broadcast.
Families also have the option of watching the president’s remarks with their children outside of the school day, as the speech is expected to be available on both the White House (www.whitehouse.gov) and CSPAN (www.c-span.org) web sites after the broadcast.
