Good afternoon to our Cub Families.  This is your Assistant Principal, Mr. Vernon, letting you know what's coming up this week.  All of our Cubs have been doing a great job doing their best on all the required tests.  We are continuing this week with some students completing FSA Math and Science Testing, 3rd graders working on SAT 10, and finally others working on their EOY iReady Assessments.  No matter which test, our message is the same, Nothing Less Than My Success!  Just remind students to do their best.  Also this week, on Tuesday May 1st we have our final SAC/PTO meeting of the year at 5:30pm in the Media Center.  As always, all parents are welcome.  Finally, I am excited to announce that this week is one of our favorite weeks, as it is Staff Appreciation Week.  This is where we take the time to celebrate and appreciate our DCES staff for all they do.  Wednesday, May 2nd we are setting up a cookie bar in our staff lounge for their enjoyment.  If you have a secret family recipe or want to purchase cookies, please send those in on Wednesday.  I have attached the link to our May Newsletter to this email or you can find the link directly on our DCES website.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I can not wait to see our Ready,Responsible, and Respectful Cubs tomorrow morning.  https://sites.google.com/yourcharlotteschools.net/dces/home

Good Afternoon Deep Creek Families. This is Principal McElroy reminding all our grade 3, 4,and 5 parents that FSA testing begins this week and does not end until May 4th. Your child will not test every one of those days but specific test dates have been provided by your child's teacher. If you need them again, please reach out to your child's teacher. Our Cubs are ready to show what they know so we just need you to support them by getting them to bed early every night of testing, making sure they have a nutritious breakfast, and you give them positive encouragement to do their very best. We need all our Cubs to be on time and ready to learn every day not just on testing days! Thursday afternoon from 3pm-6pm is our Fuel up night at the Circle K on 41 where Circle K will donate 10cents on every gallon of gas purchased back to the schools. We hope to see you there. Friday evening culminates our Stone Crabs Reading Challenge. We hope your Cub earned their free ticket and we get to fill the stadium with our DCES Spirit Shirts as our Cub Chorus sings the National Anthem. 
At Deep Creek our Cubs are Ready, Responsible, and Respectful leaders. See you bright and early Monday morning.

Good Evening Deep Creek Families this is Principal McElroy with some important announcements.  Safety is a priority for us and I want to make you aware of an upcoming event. Schools across the nation are planning activities at their campus on Wednesday, March 14th to honor the memories of the students and staff at Stoneman Douglas High School. March 14th will mark exactly one month from when the tragic events took place. The Deep Creek School Family is planning to remember this event with a moment of silence at 10am on Wednesday, March 14th. This activity was planned with the input from our staff and families. It is very important to note that our number one goal is to remember and honor the memories of those individuals that lost their lives while doing so in a way that keeps your child safe and secure. As a school principal, I am expecting all students who wish to participate in this activity to be able to do so in a manner that keeps them safe. Students will not be allowed to leave the school building for any reason, such as in a walk-out, that puts them in a potentially unsafe situation. As always, we appreciate your support. On another note, please remember that snacks sent to school should be healthy and water bottles should only contain WATER. All other liquids can cause stains and attract ants. Our Jump Rope for Heart Event kicks off this week so please look for the information packet that is coming home with your child. Tuesday evening from 5-8pm we are hosting a spirit night at the McDonald's on Peachland and we hope to see you there. It is so nice for our Cubs to see their friends outside of school at our spirit nights and help our local businesses. Thank you again for your support. At Deep Creek, our Cubs are Ready, Responsible, and Respectful leaders.
