Hello parents, This will be the final issue of our Patriot Press: Parent Edition, as our school year comes to a close. What a year to remember! We appreciate your support, and encouragement as this year has been filled with learning, new friends, celebrations, family events, and lots of growth. Our teachers and students have successfully completed another year of focus and attitude to become an EXCEL leader. That is #WhoWeAre. The Creek has once again been named a National Showcase School (one of only 377 in the nation) and that is no easy feat. Kudos to all of us, for working together to achieve this honor! Have a wonderful summer...create priceless memories with your family and friends! We will see you in August next year. If you need anything, please call our school office at 501-653-1012. From June 6 to July 18 our HCES office will be closed, so you'll need to contact our district office at 501-847-5600. Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours!

Parents, It's hard to believe this is our final full week of the 21-22 school year. It's been a year of learning, and a year of growth. We celebrated growth goals with our Popsicles with the Principals on Friday. I am proud of the focus and attitude from our EXCEL Patriots. Field Day is Friday. Please make sure you let us know if you'll be attending. Your child's teacher shared a form last week that you must complete. To help our day go smoothly, we need your help! To ensure safety, all volunteers/attendees will be given a copy of the day's expectations. Our staff will be there to assist if you have questions. The PTO has paid $2 for each student to enjoy a snocone. If you'd like to help absorb the $850 cost, you can donate $2 for your child's snocone. Simply put $2 in a baggie/envelope labeled "SNOCONE DONATION-PTO" and send to the office. Take a close look at this week's Patriot Press: Parent Edition, so you'll be updated on the happenings of our final days of school. Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours!
