Special shout-out to Brian Jasper, our daytime custodian at Trebein Elementary! Not only did he recently carry an injured student to the office who had fallen just outside the cafeteria, but he was also quick to act when another student was choking. He immediately did the Heimlich maneuver, allowing the food she was choking on to be dislodged. #GoingAboveAndBeyond #CreekProud

Today was a great day for learning as we had various staff professional development going on. Our BHS teachers learned about ways to use data to inform instructional strategies. Our middle school teachers spent time collaborating to learn more about the characteristics and needs of our students and how we can better support them, and some of our elementary staff spent time learning more about emotional intelligence.
Join us tonight for Open House Night! Each of our buildings will host an open house for students and parents to stop by and meet teachers, get acquainted with the building and classrooms, and get ready to start the school year off next week.
