Good evening, Coyotes!
We have had another great week of learning and fun at Forest Creek!
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank our entire community for the incredible Principal’s Day surprise. I was truly overwhelmed by the flowers, cards, thoughtful treats, and the number of students and staff who wore my favorite color, blue, to celebrate the day. It meant so much to me, and I am beyond grateful for the kindness and support shown by our staff, students, and families. I am so lucky to serve this amazing community!
We also had a wonderful morning celebrating our PTA and family volunteers. The breakfast was a great success, and we are so grateful to have spent time with so many who give so much to our school. I would also like to thank our teachers and departments across campus for providing the items and décor that helped make this event so special.
I also want to thank you for your flexibility this week as we adjusted dismissal due to rainy weather and lightning. I understand that changes like this can take additional time, but please know that our top priority is always student safety and ensuring we follow all UIL safety guidelines. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.
Additionally, thank you for your flexibility with the change to Field Day. We were so excited for this week, but we are looking forward to May 13th and all the fun that is still to come!
Please see the details below for more information.
Best,
Briana Flores

Teacher Appreciation Week: May 4-8 |
FOREST CREEK ELEMENTARY FIELD DAY 2026 |
Due to the weather, we have made the decision to reschedule Field Day to May 13. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for our students.
Please take a moment to review the reminders below to help the day run smoothly:
Field Day activities are for Forest Creek students only. Non-students will not be able to participate.
If you plan to check out your child to attend a sibling’s Field Day session (for example, a K–2 student attending a 3–5 session), you must check them out through the front office, leave campus, and return during the appropriate Field Day time.
We have updated the volunteer form to reflect the new date. If you are able to support, we would greatly appreciate it. Even if you previously signed up, please complete the updated form to confirm your availability for May 13.

Good afternoon Parents,
All Field Day shirts have been sorted and are ready to be distributed. If your child ordered a Field Day shirt, they will receive it tomorrow, Friday, May 1st. Please be sure to check their backpacks.
We will also be sending home all volunteer shirts. If you ordered a volunteer “pink” shirt, it will be placed in your child’s backpack as well. Additionally, if you ordered a parent shirt that matches your child’s grade-level color, it will also be sent home tomorrow.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you are missing any shirts. Thank you again for ordering shirts—I’m so excited to see everyone wearing their Field Day shirts on May 13th!
Thank you!
Coach Nieto
