Good evening, FCE!
It was a fast and full week on campus, but also a great one! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend and had the opportunity to spend time with loved ones and enjoy the beautiful weather.
On Tuesday, our staff kicked off our morning together with a hearty breakfast before diving into meaningful conversations about our campus data. As a team, we reflected on where we are and identified next steps to continue growing, both as professionals and in how we support each student.
Our teachers thoughtfully planned targeted interventions and differentiated supports to ensure we continue making progress toward our goals for the remainder of the year.
We have many exciting events happening this month and next, so be sure to keep reading and join us for the fun.
Thank you for being part of the Coyote Family.
Best,
Briana Flores
DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that in the book The Teacher Who Believed in Me by David K. Hatch and Muriel T. Summers, students share how powerful it was when teachers truly listened to them?
When students felt heard and understood, they built confidence, took academic risks, and began to believe their voice truly mattered. Strong relationships were formed when teachers took time to listen, and those relationships became the foundation for growth.
At Forest Creek, this connects directly to our HOWL expectations, especially:
H – Honor Myself & Others
We show respect for different perspectives.
We honor the experiences, cultures, and stories each person brings.
When students feel understood, they are more willing to engage, collaborate, and persevere. By living out HOWL every day, our Coyotes build empathy, strengthen relationships, and develop leadership skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
L – Listen & Be Heard
We teach students to listen with empathy, patience, and respect.
We create classroom spaces where every voice is valued.
We encourage thoughtful communication between students, staff, and families.
At Forest Creek, we don’t just teach academics; we teach students that their voice matters. 🐺💚
