Good evening, FCE!
Our theme this year is Boots on the Ground, and this week our community demonstrated this. When icy conditions made our sidewalks unsafe, staff, families, and community members came together without hesitation to break up the ice and clear the paths, making sure our Coyotes could enter the building safely. This is what Boots on the Ground looks like, and we are incredibly grateful for your continued support and willingness to show up for our students. We’d also like to remind you that our CommUNITY Night is coming up on February 12th! This special evening is a chance to share your family’s background and stories, celebrate what makes each of us unique, and build meaningful connections across our school community. We are still in need of additional volunteers to host booths and would love for you to be part of this experience.
Thank you for another great week and for being such a supportive and engaged community!
We are in need of more family feedback. Your voice matters! Please take a few moments to complete our Google Form so we can better understand our strengths and identify areas for growth as we continue our work within the High Reliability Schools framework and move toward earning Level 3. Best, Briana Flores DID YOU KNOW?
It is an absolute honor to celebrate two incredible women who go above and beyond for our campus each day! We are thrilled to announce that Mrs. Candace Harris has been named our Teacher of the Year, and Ms. Sophia Wingfield is our Paraprofessional of the Year! We are so grateful for the heart and dedication they bring to our school. Help us honor them by sending your warmest congratulations their way! |

Safety & Arrival/Dismissal Reminders |
School Zone Safety
Please slow down and follow posted speed limits during arrival and dismissal. We have seen an increase in speeding, and your caution helps keep everyone safe. Car Rider Line
During afternoon dismissal, if you are waiting in the car rider line on Harvey Penick coming from Links Ln., please remember to stay as far left as possible on the road. This helps ensure that other vehicles are able to safely pass on the right side and keeps traffic flowing smoothly for our community. Pull all the way forward in both the front and back loops to help us unload and load cars efficiently. Crosswalks & Walking Students
Do not block crosswalks, and always follow staff and crossing guard directions. Students who walk or bike must wait for an adult before crossing. Bus Safety
Never pass a school bus when the lights are flashing or the stop sign is extended. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Locations
Students may only be dropped off or picked up in the designated front or back loops. Please do not use side roads, the marquee area, or near portables. Arrival Time
Instruction begins at 7:35 a.m. Please help your child arrive on time so they do not miss learning. Early Pick-Up
All early checkouts must occur before 2:20 p.m. After this time, we are unable to accommodate early pick-ups due to dismissal procedures. Dismissal Expectations
Please avoid cell phone use in the pick-up line, remain in your vehicle, do not skip lines, and help students buckle independently to keep traffic moving. Visitor Procedures
All visitors must check in with a valid ID and wear a visitor badge. Please do not hold doors open for others. Thank you for partnering with us to keep Forest Creek safe, efficient, and welcoming for all. |
