Dear parents, students, and school community:
We had a short, but high-quality week last week. We all have Monday off for Presidents Day and return to school on Tuesday. If you have not reviewed your child's progress report in Parent Portal, please do so and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. If you have trouble setting up your account, contact your grade level administrator for assistance.
Take some time to thoroughly read and enjoy this week's newsletter. It is important that you remain in the know as it relates to how we serve the entire school community of Dutchman Creek. Your partnership and participation are critical to any success that we have. Thank you for your continued support!
As we return to the building on Tuesday, 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
