#GoGators💚🖤🐊

From the Desk of Principal Moton

Dear parents, students, and school community:

HAPPY NEW YEAR! With a new year comes new opportunities, but our commitment at The Creek remains steady and consistent: to Grow and Develop LEADERS...One Learner at a Time!

The faculty and staff return on Monday, Jan 8 for a workday. This semester, we will join several other schools in the district in beginning a new journey called The Leader in Me! You can visit www.leaderinme.com to get an idea of what's ahead, but families and students will be onboarded to this framework throughout the semester as we continue to build our systems of support of each learner at our school. Students return on Tuesday, Jan 9 to begin the third quarter of the school year.

Be mindful of the calendar of events and be sure to make each day count! Have a great first school week of 2024! GOOOOOOOOOOO GATORS!

Yours in service,

Principal Clayton B. Moton
