WEEKLY NEWS Our Village Rally this week was incredible! We had students from our Tawalmoto Village leading the entire way through. They did an amazing job and showed true leadership.  We kicked off Habit #6: All in this Together and discussed the importance of team work vs. trying to do everything independently.  Statewide testing season begins this week for our students in grades 3 through 5.  Students begin our Statewide CAASPP testing in ELA and Math.  Fifth grade students also take the Science Test.  This is a way for us to measure student progress so that we can continuously plan instruction that meets their needs.  Individual classroom teachers will share their schedules with you so that your students can make sure to get extra rest and big, hearty breakfasts on those days! We appreciate your support. Check out our Diamond Creek Student News that is filmed and produced by our Student News Leadership Group! Diamond Creek Student News ...

WEEKLY NEWS We had another great week at Diamond Creek! Our primary students were busy looking for leprechaun clues throughout the week.  They were busy hunters during their recess times, looking in the grass and bark box areas for clues left behind by the leprechaun.  Our 3rd through 5th grade students are hard at work preparing for our upcoming statewide testing, CAASPP, which will begin at the end of March.  Each classroom has their own individual schedule which will be communicated to you by the classroom teacher. Our students have learned so much this year, this is just one time of many for them to show that growth and learning they have accomplished so that we can continue to give them meaningful instruction. Our next Village Rally is coming up this Wednesday, March 20th. We will kick off Habit #6: All in This Together.   This will be a great habit for us to learn more about as we work hard to collaborate each day with each other, while also showing kindne...
