Good afternoon Deep Creek Families.  This is Mr. Vernon with announcements for this first week.  I have been anxiously waiting for tomorrow for two months, we are looking forward to having our Cubs back on campus.  Remember our new school start time this year is 8:20am, we want students in their classroom seats by 8:15am.  Drop off can begin as early at 7:45am and breakfast will be open at that 7:45am as well.  We will begin dismissal at 2:50pm and just to be proactive remember that the first few weeks traffic and parent pick up does take a much longer time than usual.  It is beneficial for the school and our students if you have them get used to their normal method of transportation on the first day.  We do know that first day excitement makes parents want to walk students to class and that will be allowed on the up until Wednesday.  We believe our students are leaders and on Thursday they will be expected to walk themselves to class, but remember we have staff members and Safety Patrols stationed all over campus for assistance.  Kindergarten Open House will be tomorrow at 6pm and our Kindergarten students will begin their first day on Tuesday.  All Communication students K -5 will start tomorrow and do not need to attend tomorrow's open house.  Last, students have a few more days to finish their Summer Reading Challenge and we will have their reward at school on Friday.  It is an honor to start this school year as the Deep Creek Elementary Principal and I look forward to seeing our Ready, Responsible, and Respectful Cubs tomorrow.  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
