Hello Diamond Creek Families!

We had another great week at Diamond Creek! 

Our 4th grade students were able to experience "A Touch of Understanding".  Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to experience life from the perspective of a variety of disabilities.  Students were able to practice writing in Braille, drive a wheelchair, understand the sounds and senses of autism, and more.  This is a wonderful experience for our students.  Students also have the opportunity to hear stories from a variety of speakers who have different disabilities.  We look forward to this experience for our 4th grade students each year.

On Thursday, we had a Village Rally.  Honhulu students and staff led our rally and reintroduced Habit #1: I'm in Charge of Me.  Along with Habit #1, we discussed two essentials. Be Responsible for Your Trash and Move Around Respectfully and Safely.   We will be focusing on this Habit and these two essentials through the month.  Linked belo…

Hello Diamond Creek Families!

We hope your child(ren) had a great week at Diamond Creek! We had more fun learning experiences in our medical room and glow room with reading, writing and math! We had sentence surgery going on, glow word problems and more!

It's hard to believe we are already at the midway point of Trimester #1.  Progress Reports will be coming home today.  If you have questions or concerns related to the progress reports, our classroom teachers are more than happy to answer those questions or meet with you for further discussion.

Our next Village Rally is coming up this Thursday, October 3rd! We will be reviewing Habit #1: I'm in Charge of Me along with a few of our essentials.  Students are encouraged to wear their Village T-shirt or color!

Hello Diamond Creek Families!

We hope your student(s) came home excited and pumped up about their learning on Thursday. We started off the day with Mr. Carlos and his live band playing some awesome music for us to start the day off rockin' together! You may have heard - but our staff even had a surprise dance all planned and choreographed for our students.

The rest of the day was filled with rigorous learning in our classrooms which were transformed into a medical lab, glow room and book cafe.  Check out the pictures below to see the amazing learning done throughout the day. The students were highly engaged in math and reading throughout the day.

Each week we have a student leadership group that films our Student News which is broadcasted each Monday to our students.  Click on the link below to check out our student news crew and what's happening at Diamond Creek!

Hello Diamond Creek Families!

We had our first Village Meeting this week! Students were able to meet and greet students in their Village.  We learned new names, welcomed new teammates to our Villages and practiced our Village chants! We are working very hard on giving eyeballs and handshakes and responding to people when they ask us questions.  Hopefully you are noticing these behaviors at home as well!

Our 15th Annual Walk-a-Thon is THIS WEEK!! THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th!! Thank you all for your support at home with this fundraiser.   In the past our Walk-a-Thon has helped us buy Chromebook Carts, iPads and outfit every classroom at Diamond Creek with Apple TVs and 72 inch TVs for projection.  Last year, our Walk-a-Thon also helped us launch our Villages system building wide and we are so excited to continue this great work at Diamond Creek!  Thank you for your support.
