Family Connection Meeting
Your child’s teacher will reach out the week prior to school starting to set up a time to meet with you about your child. The meeting is truly a time to connect and for the teacher to learn about your child from you, your child’s expert!
Back to School Family Picnic (August 8) + School Tour for NEW families
Please join us on the Willow Creek Elementary hill (behind K, 1, 2 classrooms) for our Back to School Family Picnic August 8 (5-6:30pm). Bring a picnic dinner, re-connect with community members and gear up for the school year.
We will have otter pops to cool off your children and celebrate heading back to school!
At 5:30 (during family picnic), there will be a brief tour of our school for NEW families only (does not include Kindergarteners that already had orientation). At 5:30, if you are a new family, please meet us at the front of the school.
