Weekly Update 10/14-10/18

Hello families!
Over the next few weeks we have a lot of exciting things happening at Willow Creek 🎉. Parent teacher conferences, Ghouls at School, our Halloween party, etc.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Have you signed up for parent teacher conferences yet? Parent teacher conferences will be October 23rd & October 24th. I also added a few extra time slots that we could meet on Monday, October 21st. I can't wait to meet with you to discuss the progress your child has made so far. 😊

Ghouls at School 

Every Halloween at Willow Creek, students and staff come to school dressed up in their Halloween costumes for the day (please no masks). At the end of the day the students are given a bag and they get to "trick or treat" at school. Our PTA puts this event on for us and they will be sending out more details as it gets closer to Halloween. Our PTA is asking for donations of candy and non edible items. To see a list of non edible ideas that you could donate, click HERE. You can drop off your goodies in the monster donation box at the front office. If you would like to volunteer for this event contact the PTA at willowcreekparents@gmail.com.  Thank you for your support! 

Halloween Party 

Our class will be having a Halloween party on October 31st, from 2:40-3:30pm. For more information and to sign up to donate supplies and/or volunteer, click HERE. All families are welcome to join us for the party! Thank you for helping make this a special day! 

Snack Time

Since school has started, we have always had snack in the morning. We will be switching to an afternoon snack time and no longer have snack in the morning. This works better for our schedule. Snack time is only a few minutes long and is optional. Please make sure your child has a filling breakfast in the morning. 😊

PTA Meeting 

The Willow Creek PTA will have their monthly meeting on Thursday, October 17th at 4:15pm. It's not too late to join the PTA if you are interested in joining! If you want to become a member, click HERE to fill out the membership form and send it to school with your child. Even if you don't fill out the membership form, you can still attend the meetings at any point throughout the year.
