Attendance Matters!
Attendance Matters!
When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic performance.
Chronic absenteeism is when a student misses 2 days a month.
Chronic absenteeism is a leading indicator for low graduation rates.
Congratulations Mrs. Smouse & Mrs. Fussellman's homerooms for best attendance rate for Fall 2023!
Students were awarded with a pizza party!

Course Selection Process
Course Selection Process
It's hard to believe, but we are starting to plan for next year! Below is a quick overview of the course selection process for each grade.
Current 5th Grade Students
Students will have the option to select a performing arts course next year. All students will take a music course, but they may select from Choir, Band, Orchestra, or General Music.
Students will watch a performance concert on Thursday, January 25th from Grimsley Junior High's Band, Orchestra, and Choir. This will give students a sneak peek at what to expect in these performing art programs.
Parents will receive a letter from Mrs. Woods on Friday, January 26th. This letter will outline the 6th grade course options for students. Students and their families are encouraged to review the options when selecting advanced or traditional courses.
Course selections are due (via google form linked in the letter from Mrs. Woods) by February 6th.
Current 6th Grade Students
Junior High Counselors will give an overview of 7th grade course options to students at CMS on Tuesday, January 30th.
The course selection process (Student Success Planning or SSP) will be outlined for students and parents directly from your student's junior high counselor. More information to come soon!

Musical Update
Musical Update
Hello Creekside Family!
Rehearsals for our upcoming musical, Beauty and the Beast Jr., are underway and going wonderfully! If you are a part of the cast or the crew for the musical, please keep an eye on your email. Both parents and students that are involved will be receiving emails from time to time from me (Mrs. Nugent) and / or Mr. Meadows with information about rehearsal schedules and crew meetings. You will also want to join our Remind group for last minute information that may affect our rehearsals such as district announcements, weather, or updates to the rehearsal schedule. If you are a part of the musical and you do not have our Remind code, please reach out to me at cnugent@bentonvillek12.org.
Also, please be on the lookout in the next week or so for information about a fundraiser that will benefit our CMS Theatre Department! More information on that will be sent out as it is available.
Thank you so much, and have a "noteworthy" day!
