Dear parents, students, and school community:
An epic week at The Creek last week! If you recall, we had something big going on every day of last week. Our students and teachers rose well above expectations and wrote an incredible five days into the history book of Gator Nation! Read all about it in this week's newsletter!
This week is a short week for students with them being out on Thursday and Friday while the staff engages in professional development and other work to build upon our success. Also, the entire campus is off on Monday for President's Day.
Although we only work directly with students three days this week, let's be sure to make each day count! Stay safe and healthy, and here's to another great week at The Creek! GOOOOOOOOOOO GATORS!
Yours in service,
Principal Clayton B. Moton

Congratulations, Gators!!!
Our 8th grade boys finished conference tournament runner-ups. We appreciate the efforts of Coach Tyson as he worked extremely hard to coach and mentor our boys, who fell one game short of the championship title.
Great season, Gators!
