Welcome to Creekside's Parent Teacher Community Organization!
Our goals are to enrich the learning experience of our children, energize our community, and support the families, teachers, and administrators that make Creekside Elementary School such a great place. We hope you will come here regularly to find out what’s happening in the Creekside community and how you can participate in our volunteer efforts and fun activities.

NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH  Students from every high school in the Cherry Creek School District have come together to produce an extraordinary video now available here. It’s a film tailored to parents and guardians that’s designed to inform, educate and take the stigma out of discussions about mental health, isolation and suicide. We encourage you all to watch this film and use it to spark your own conversations with your loved ones about these subjects. CHICK-FIL-A SPIRIT DAY  2019 CREEKSIDE FUN RUN  FUN RUN SCHEDULE

NEW INNOVATION SPACE As our students were heading out the door to begin their summer break, construction crews were heading in to renovate our library and computer lab spaces! Elementary schools in our district were each given $500,000 as part of the 2016 Bond and Budget election. This August, students will come back to a reimagined library space with flexible seating, new technologies, and a bright, open-concept layout - along with a classroom dedicated to project-based learning. There is still a lot of work to be done, but here's how things are looking after some demo work: 2019-2020 SCHOOL EVENT CALENDAR We've been busy planning our PTCO events for the coming school year and are excited to share the dates for our Back-to-School Carnival, Grandfriends Day, Pumpkin Patch, Scholastic Book Fairs, and much more!
