Week of March 13-17, 2023

 Happy Friday Trailblazer families,


Our Third Trimester has begun and it’s full of new adventures for our Trailblazers!  Our 5th grade had a wonderful STEAM museum assembly on Monday, courtesy of the PTC!    The kids had a great time exploring the various stations set up!  Thank you amazing PTC!  On Tuesday, the First Grade classes had a blast on their field trip to Roller King!  Our first set of 3rd grade classes traveled back in time to the Bernhard Museum on Thursday!  It was so fun to see their handmade fruit crates and dolls as they got off the bus!  


STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY

Just a quick reminder, this Monday, March 13th is a Staff Development Day. 

We hope that you enjoy the 3-day weekend and we look forward to

seeing the students return on Tuesday, March 14th!


PARKING LOT REMINDERS

We've recently had an increase of people using our Handicapped marked spaces by the office to do a quick pick up or drop off.  Please keep our Handicapped spaces open for our families that have an official placard or license plate. 

Also, one more quick reminder that our Kindergarten Loop drop off/pick up area is open to one lane only.  Please do not create a second row in the parking lot to pick up your students, this blocks the flow of traffic when people are trying to park in the lot.  Thank you for making safe choices in our parking lot to help keep our Trailblazers safe!


IT’S NOT TOO LATE-ENROLL NOW FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR!

Do you know of any neighbors with future 23-24 Diamond Creek Kindergarteners?  Please share with them that they can register their children right now for our next school year.

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

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...
