Teacher and Employee of the Year Celebration 2010

This afternoon, teachers, students and PTA parents gathered with families of the honorees, teacher of the year, Michael Vorick and Employee of the Year Karen McNamara. Each one of them exemplifies the character traits we try to instill in our students. They contribute to Creek View in ways that touch the lives of many community members who love and respect them both personally and professionally. 

Hats off to Michael Vorick and Karen McNamara for jobs exceptionally well done!

Thursday Post: March 4, Comes in like and lion...

The March wind roars

Like a lion in the sky,

And makes us shiver

As he passes by.

When winds are soft,

And the days are warm and clear,

Just like a gentle lamb,

Then spring is here."

- Author Unknown

A Snowy Day @ Creek View!

An unlikely day in March! Mr. Hodge's 4th Grade

Evening Activities Cancelled for Today, March 2, 2010

Much of Fulton County is experiencing a wintery mix of precipitation. The National Weather Service is predicting that temperatures will stay above freezing in Fulton County until later this evening.


However, as temperatures fall, road conditions may become hazardous. As a result, all evening school events scheduled to occur after 6:00 p.m. will be cancelled.

To ensure the safety of elementary school students, all elementary buses (including extended learning buses) will operate as usual today. However, due to the later release times for middle and high schools, the Fulton County School System is cancelling all middle and high school afterschool tutorials and sweep buses. Regular afternoon buses are not affected. Middle/high school students should ride their regularly scheduled afternoon bus.

Primetime at Creek View Elementary will close at 4:00 today.

SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION

In the event that school must be closed due to inclement weather, the most up-to-date information will be provided on local radio and television stations. Parents should listen to WSB radio 750 A.M. or watch television for current information.

You may also monitor the Fulton County Schools webpage at www.fultonschools.org, for up-to-the-minute information regarding school closings.

Please do not contact or come to the school.

School telephones and personnel will be utilized in order to follow proper procedures to ensure the safety of the children.

Parent Perception Survey-Now Available

The Fulton County Schools’ Annual Parent Perception Survey begins today!

www.fultonschools.org/surveys/ParentPerceptionSurvey2009-10.htm
Your opinions are important to us!


The Fulton County School System invites you to spend a few minutes giving your input during its annual Parent Perception Survey. The survey runs from March 1 through April 2, and the answers you provide will be used for school improvement planning.

A perception survey measures how you feel about different aspects of your child’s overall education in Fulton County, rather than gathering information about individual teachers or your school’s performance. Please be assured that your identity and that of your child cannot and will not be shared with any school official. Your answers will be combined with those of other parents and shared with teachers and the principal for school improvement planning. Your identity and that of your child will remain confidential.

If you have questions about the survey, please call the Assessment and Accountability Division at 404-763-4598. Thank you for your feedback.
