Families,

 

I hope your summer is off to a fabulous start! Our students are so deserving of a nice, long break after this crazy year! As I reflect on the school year, I'm humbled by the hard work that our kiddos put in this year. They ROSE to the challenge and consistently amazed me by how willing and able they were to meet the ever changing demands of being a student in the midst of a pandemic. They proved to be relentless and nothing would stop them from accomplishing their goals.

 

I'm also humbled by the generosity of YOU! Your words of encouragement were so needed and appreciated. I consider myself so blessed to have been a part of the most amazing community! THANK YOU!

 

After much thought and prayer, I have decided to stay home with baby Luke next year. I am excited for this next season as a mother, but also saddened that I was will not get to see your children next year as they transition to fifth grade. However, I know that they are more than ready to tackle the challenges they will face in the future. 

 

Thank you for an amazing year and for being so patient and kind during the many changes that surfaced. Thank you for trusting me with your most prized possession, your sweet children. Thank you for your constant support and kindness. Creekside Forest will always hold a special place in my heart because of you.

 

Have a WONDERFUL summer!

 

Love,

Mrs. Still

Good afternoon,

 

Just a quick reminder that STAAR testing will be tomorrow (math) and Wednesday (reading). Students have been working SO hard and are prepared. Please be sure your child:

I am so proud of my students and the hard work they've been putting in this year! I KNOW they are ready. Thanks in advance for your support during testing.

 

Love,

Mrs. Still

Good morning CFES families!

Dear Families,  

 

   As our year quickly comes to a close, there are several items we wanted to remind you about.

 

1. Parent letters DUE tomorrow (for Staar tests)

2. Wax Museum Dates  

     a. Plan to pick up a trifold board or poster board to display your child's research board.

     b. Begin working on student's presentation boards. These boards should include important information on your child's person (Early Life, Adult Life, Importance to Texas). Please include a title and pictures. 

 

 

Thank you in advance for your support in your child's wax museum projects. This is a FUN project to bring our year to a close.

 

Have a great day,

Candice Still

Good evening,

 

Students were sent home with their Reading THINK UP books today and a list of reading passages to choose from to read. For extra practice as we push towards STAAR, students are encouraged to read the passages, stop & jot, and answer the questions at home. The next day, they may return their work to me for an incentive and to check their answers in class. This is not mandatory, but a great way to get in some extra reading as our year comes to a close! Thank you in advance for your support!

 

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. 

 

Love,

Mrs. Still

We've had a week of successful surgery! We took our writing to the ER (edit/revise) and brought Mrs. Trammell and Ms. Killam through surgery successfully! The kids so enjoyed this week of fun, targeted learning through the ER theme. Thank you to everyone who helped make this week possible!

Next week, on Tuesday, we will be taking our STAAR writing test. The kids are ready and prepared, and I know they will knock it out of the park! Please view the newsletter for further instructions of our testing day. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Love, Mrs. Still
