Thursday Post For March 24, 2011

Parents, please review page 15 of the Parent Student Handbook:  CARPOOL Because so many of our students live nearby, Creek View Elementary maintains a busy carpool schedule. If you are new to the Alpharetta area, you will quickly come to find that we have traffic that can sometimes be very overwhelming. Please help us keep our students safe and your child’s morning commute stress-free by allowing them to ride the school bus. If you do choose to carpool your children, we ask that you adhere to our school guidelines. Children may ONLY be dropped off and picked up at the front of the school following the designated traffic pattern. Please do not attempt to bypass cars in front of you because you may be in a hurry. The orange cones are placed strategically to maximize the safety of our students, their parents, and our staff. Please do not move or knock them over. Drivers should form a single line in front of the school where they will stop for children to enter or exit the car. Students should exit/enter cars from the curbside only. Students should have all of their belongings together in order to make a smooth transition between the car and the entrance to the school building. Children may not be dropped off in the front parking lot, since they are not permitted to cross through the parking lot without an adult accompanying them. For obvious reasons, children may also not be dropped off in the school bus loading area. If your child should need assistance getting out of the car in the morning, or if your child needs to unload items, please park and walk him/her across. A limited number of staff members are available in the building to assist our students each morning. We kindly ask that parents refrain from walking their children to their classrooms. Using the staff parking lot is not an option for dropping off students. This practice not only causes a major back-up for entering and departing buses and arriving staff members, but also poses an unsafe situation for students.

“Do a Good Deed Every Day!"
Spring is in bloom! Last Monday, the Junior Girl Scout's had a chance to get their hands dirty while they updated the Butterfly Garden near the tool shed. Among their “dirty work”, the girls pulled weeds and planted Violas (annuals), Parsley (herb), Monardas (perennials), Lavendar (perennials), Phlox (perennials) and Dianthus (perennials). Soon the garden will be in full bloom and attracting butterflies for all to enjoy. The Girl Scouts encourage you to take a look on your next trip to the play yard.

Coins for Canine Assistants News - In 4 days, the children, families, and staff at Creek View raised $3,001.44 and every penny raised went straight to Canine Assistants. Someone somewhere will be able to have a service dog and companion thanks to the CVES family.

A huge thank you to Publix, who counted all the coins and bills for us (waiving the counting fee). Also, thank you to, former CVES front office secretary, Colleen Waddle who coordinated this project for our school.
And now, the winners: Drum roll please….
  • In third place, with $644.00 is 2nd grade!! Wowza.
  • In second place, with $678.18 is 3rd grade!! Wowza, Wowza.
  • And the top grade level, with $693.45 is 5th grade!!!!
The real winners, of course, are the dogs and people who will benefit from this wonderful gift we are giving. Remember, we are still collecting stories and artwork for Paisley’s book. Please have everything submitted no later than Friday, Feb. 11th so the book can go into production.

Thanks again,
Mrs. Emerson, Ms. Duncan, and Paisley

Fifth grade parents, are you ready for Middle School? Space is still available for the next PTA Lunch & Learn-Moving On To Middle School

Six Flags Read to Succeed student reading logs are coming home today! Students can receive a free ticket to Six Flags for six hours of reading!  Reading logs must be turned in by March 1st, 2011.

We are very excited to let you know we have purchased ixl math to help our students practice their math skills. This is an online math  site available to every student at Creek View. Simply go to www.ixl.com. Their username is their first and last name followed by 268, i.e. johnsmith268.  Their password is the student id # beginning with 1100 or 2000 number in their agenda or take home folder. Once they are logged in, they may choose various grade levels and skills. In addition to making math practice exciting, IXL is designed to help your child learn at their own pace. The website is adaptive and will adjust to your child's demonstrated ability level. The site also records all of your child's results, so you can monitor your child's progress anytime by clicking on the Reports tab. Please email perez@fultonschools.org if you have any issues logging in.

Salutations CVES families,
Thank you for your support of our annual Screen on the Green Event.  We had over 500 people in attendance and thank teacher Steve Johnson for spearheading this effort along with his many staff supporters. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, was a big hit for adults and kids alike!

Yesterday we held our annual Kindergarten Safari.  This event gives parents and future Kindergartners the opportunity to explore Creek View and to preview the classroom experience.
Today is a spectacular day for the K-2 Field Day and tomorrow promises to be just a beautiful for our 3-5 teams. Thanks you for the donations of snacks and drinks as well as coming out to support your child's classroom.  Please read the latest PTA Newsletter and note that the May Calendar and Menu are also available.  There is still room to sign your child up for our one-of-a-kind drama camp this summer; an experience that will boost your child's confidence and enjoyment of public speaking.
