Welcome Back 2016-2017

Dear Deep Creek School Family, 

Welcome Back! I hope you had a wonderful summer break. This year we are switching from a Monday Morning Memo to a Friday Fast Facts. We hope this will give you a little more time to be aware of what is happening during the coming week. We are looking forward to seeing you all next week.

Please note our building hours will be:
8/1-8/5 7:00am-6:00pm
Saturday and Sunday 8:00am-12:00pm 
Monday, August 8th back to regular hours 6:30am-10:00pm

This summer I took a much needed break. I spent time with people not in our profession. Upon doing that, I was reminded why I do what I do. I was reminded that what we get to do each day is indeed a privilege and a noble profession. Often I focus on people who do not respect what we do but luckily my time away renewed my spirit. I aim to focus on the people who do respect us. They are out there! They appreciate what we do! We should stop using words like everyone, nobody, always, and never. It is easy to get sucked into these over-generalizations so support and remind each other to stay positive. We are so lucky that everyday we get to influence the lives of children. Being an educator is truly a privilege! 
What we have accomplished as a school family is amazing! We need to proud and determined to continue this path we are on. Our plan for this year is to continue doing what we are doing but do it better. 
You will hear more about this on Friday, August 5th which is our professional development day. Please report to the cafe at 7:45am. We will begin promptly with our presentation at 8:00am. As with last year, Thursday is to yourself. We will come by to say hello. Please have your summer fun picture with you on Thursday. We can air drop it or text it while I am in your room. 

Looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday!
