Thursday Post for May 26, 2011

It's time to say, "Good-bye."

Our year has come to an end.

We've made more cherished memories

And many more new friends.

We've watched your children learn and grow

And change from day to day.

We hope that all the things we've done

Have helped in some small way.

So it's with happy memories

We send them out the door,

With great hope and expectations

For what next year holds in store.

As if you really needed a reminder, the last day of school for students is TOMORROW! Your child should come to school empty-handed. No backpacks, lunch boxes, board games, books, etc., should be brought to school.
 Lunches must be packed in paper bags with disposable utensils.
See the clinic to pick up any medications.  Medications left after tomorrow will be discarded!

Fifth Grade Pool Party Details

Congratulations to CVES and the Clean Air Committee on becoming an official 2010/2011 Clean Air School with the Clean Air Campaign.

Girl Scout Troop 3397 was the only troop in the Greenway service unit to earn their Bronze Award this year. 

5TH GRADE POOL PARTY POST-PONED

A strong thunderstorm is forecast to move through the metro Atlanta area on Thursday during our 5th Grade Promotion Pool Party. This storm brings a significant chance of strong winds, hail, and lightning.


We have decided to move the Pool Party to our rain date on Friday, May 27th at the same time (5:30-8:00 pm). We realize that some students will not be able to attend the rain date, unfortunately we will not be able to issue refunds. We are sorry to postpone the party, but our students’ safety is our #1 concern.


Thanks,


5th Grade Promotion Committee

5th grade promotions FAQ's

• Fifth grade promotion is quickly approaching and the excitement is rising!

• Please be aware that the ceremony will begin at 8:15 a.m.

• Parents will be allowed in-through the front door, please- at 7:45 to get seated.

• We ask that 5th grade students come to school on time (before 7:40 a.m.) so they may line up with their classes and not cause any delays.

• Due to space limitations, younger siblings may NOT be checked out to attend the 5th grade promotion Friday morning. Ms. Briggs and Ms. Kindregan will be broadcasting the ceremony via closed circuit to all classrooms that morning. Thank you for understanding.

Canine Assistants is a non-profit organization that trains and provides service dogs for children and adults who have physical disabilities or other special needs. Research has demonstrated that there is a definite connection between children and animals; therefore, we are capitalizing on this wonderful relationship to enhance reading development. The K-9 reading program gives opportunity for students and the K-9 program puppies to practice skills.  Students practice reading skills and the dogs practice people skills.  Our Creek View ESOL 3rd and 4th graders had been selected for this program and have been enjoying the reading dogs that come to our school on Wednesdays.

Parent Perception Survey Due May 24, 2011

Dear Creek View Parents and Families:


Annually, the Fulton County School System evaluates its performance using a wide variety of measures, one of which is a parent survey. While we encourage regular communication from our community – and many of you may have provided feedback throughout the year – your feedback at this time is especially critical. Results from the survey will be used to develop improvement plans for the 2011-2012 school year, as well as be compared to past survey results to measure our progress.

The survey is designed to measure your perceptions across multiple categories, all focusing on the school (or schools) your children attend. You have the option of taking the survey online, and a link can be found on the district’s home page or you can use the link provided below. You also can complete a paper copy at your child’s school. The survey is open to all parents with children enrolled in the Fulton County School System and will be available through 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24.

FINAL Re-districting Recommendation

Please note the final redistricting recommendation for 2012-13 North Fulton HS and MS boundaries has been posted on the website, http://www.fultonschools.org/redistricting/

As a means of collecting community input for the Board, a web form  has been created and posted on the website as well.  Parents are encouraged to use this means of communication rather than email to ensure all Board members receive the feedback.

Girls on the Run 2010-2011

 CVES had 15 girls, their friends, and family "running buddies" complete a challenging, hilly 5K run along West Paces Ferry in Atlanta.  Every Atlanta area GOTR club was represented; over 1500 runners in all!  This was the culmination of all their hard work and training for the last semester. The GOTR mission is to "educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living." 

Check us out a Sneak Peek in August 2011!

Girls On The Run Service Project

The Creek View GOTR club performs a community service project at the end of each semester.  This time the girls chose to send care packages to our troops overseas; they collected personal items and food to fill 9 boxes; and they hand-made card and letters to send to those soldiers to brighten their day.

3rd grade Silent Auction Kickball winners!

As part of the Silent Auction at the Basket Raffle this past March, each of the third grade teachers offered their time for a kickball tournament with third grade students.  The winners of the auction from each class invited a friend and headed out for a fun game of kickball against their teachers on Monday at the Windward Sports Park. Ms. Wade, softball extraordinaire, came out as the ringer for the teachers but Mrs. Stallard made her own running for MVP!  It was a great afternoon and much fun was had by all!
