Dear Canyon Creek Families,

We had a great week celebrating Red Ribbon and Digital Citizenship week filled with FUN dress up days and great messages! It was fun seeing all our students participate, thank you!

We also hosted our 2nd Coffee Chat of the year for our 4th and 5th grade parents. Thank you to all those who came, we had a great turn out! Our participants came prepared with great questions and suggestions that we will work towards! This particular coffee chat was specific for 4th and 5th grade because these are the two grade levels that take chromebooks home. We discussed RRISD provided software Go Guardian and how it can be used at home to ensure safer chromebook use outside of school. Please share your knowledge with other parents and make sure to download the Go Guardian app to support your student with their technology use.

A big thank you to PTA and all the volunteers that took time to create our celebration of Diwali wall. Thank you for the beautiful display and for always sharing the many cultures and traditions of the families in our school.

We are back to a normal 5 day a week schedule! See you back at CCE on Monday!

Enjoy the weekend!
