 Happy Friday Trailblazer families,


Today we had a fantastic Village Rally led by Hukeskinu!  We practiced Habit #4, I am Mindful of Others while working on shaking hands, repeating names, and making eye contact.  This Habit falls under the E for being Empathetic in our LEAD acronym.  Thank you to our Hukeskinu Staff Village Leaders for putting together such a wonderful whole school event!  


REGISTRATION BEGINS ON 1/23/23

New and Returning Student Registration - Opens 1/23/23 7:00 AM

Every current student must complete the returning student registration to be placed in a class for next year.  This includes 5th graders moving to middle school. Please complete this as soon as possible. Registration 

If you know you are not returning to Diamond Creek next year, please contact the office.


Transfers - If you are currently on an inter-district transfer (living outside of RCSD) you need to do a new transfer annually.

If you are a 5th grader on an inter/intra transfer and you live outside of Cooley boundaries, you would need to complete a transfer to go to Cooley.

If you have a TK student on a current inter/intra transfer, you need to complete one for kindergarten to stay at Diamond Creek. Transfers


CARE SOLACE RESOURCE

Yesterday, I sent a message about a resource available to all of our District families called Care Solace.  Please see the flier below for more information.



BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Birthdays are an exciting time for our students.  With student safety in mind, I wanted to remind everyone of our Student/Parent Handbook Policy regarding celebrating birthdays in the classroom.

  • We will not be allowing students to bring in any food items to share with the class on birthdays or other special occasions due to possible food allergies. If you would still like to honor your child’s birthday, check with your child’s teacher on suggestions for non-food items (pencils, stickers, erasers, etc.) that could be shared with the class.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS:  The 2nd half of the year is upon us and the calendar of events has been updated.  We even have some space for business logos if you would like to sponsor the PTC.   See attached schedule for more information or to be a part of the PTC visit us at: https://diamondcreekptc.ptboard.com


 

BIRTHDAY WISHES:  Does your child have a birthday between February and the end of the school year?  Now is a great time to submit a form to have their birthday on our marquee message board in front of the school to make their day extra special!  CLICK HERE for the form.  You can hand it in to the front office or email it to marquee@diamondcreekptc.com if paying with PayPal.  

 

SAFE ROUTES: Safe Routes weekly raffle prizes have been restocked!  If your student would like to participate in Safe Routes, meet us every Thursday mornings at either the front main gate or side gate to get a shoe tag or get scanned.  Don’t forget to go to Active4.me to register their tag so you can get notifications with your student on campus.  Each week, one student from each grade will win the weekly raffle and pick out a prize.

Updates from our week at Diamond Creek  Thank you to all of our parents for taking time to meet with your child's teacher this week.  Our teachers appreciate this face to face meeting time with you.  We are all a team working together to help each child at Diamond Creek be successful and your support is such an important piece of the puzzle.  Thank you for your time and support! On Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have our local Fire Department visit us and lead us through a fire safety assembly.  The students learned what to do in the case of a fire and were able to see the transformation that happens when our firefighters put on all of their gear.  On Wednesday, we had a building wide "READING DRILL".  We all stopped, dropped and read! It was a delight to see students throughout our whole building reading for 15 minutes all together.  I had so many students afterwards tell me they wished it was longer and ask if we could do that everyday!

  9/9/2022   Happy Friday Trailblazer families,   We completed our LEAD Passport adventure today.  Your children have now traveled to all 7 of our common areas to learn what it looks like to be great Listeners, be Empathetic, be Accountable and how to be Disciplined. Due to the smoke, we had them meet in their Village Meeting Spot and the presenters traveled to the students. These passports should have gone home with them today.  It would be wonderful to have them step into the role of being the teacher and share with you what they learned about each area’s expectations.     DC NEWS IS BACK Our Student Leadership under the direction of Ms. Triplett and Mrs. Lopez is back in action.  One of the projects they work on is our DC News.  Click HERE to see this week’s broadcast!     SPIRIT WEEK-GETTING READY FOR OUR WALK-A-THON We have a great week of school spirit ahead culminating with our Walk-a-thon on Friday, September 16t...
