Fall Goal-Setting Conferences
Thank you to all who have attended a conference. I look forward to meeting with everyone else. If you have not signed up for a conference yet, please click on the link and sign up.
GaGa Ball Pit
Ask your child about the new GaGa Ball Pit on the playground. This is an exciting game for students. It is supposed to promote integrity. When a player is hit by the ball, he/she leaves the pit. It is a lot of fun for the students. Our PTA provided the funds for the materials, and Cub Scout Pack 404 provided the manpower to install the pit.
Running Club
Running Club starts Monday, October 24, 2016. If your student would like to be a part of this group, fill out the form and send it in. It is never too late to join!

Veterans Day Program
We have begun planning a tribute to Veterans for the morning of November 11th. Please invite any veterans you know to Forest Creek to have breakfast with the student(s) they know. The cafeteria will serve cinnamon rolls, fruit and milk or juice from 7:15-7:30 a.m. Please help us prepare for breakfast by completing this form to provide an accurate number of those eating. There is no charge for our special guests.
We will be having two patriotic programs to honor our Veterans on November 11th - one at 8:15 a.m. for grades K-2 and another one at 9:00 a.m for grades 3-5. You may attend one or both. We look forward to recognizing these special men and women who have contributed so much for our country through a slideshow presentation.Please send a photo of your special Veteran to Kelly_Erickson@roundrockisd.org. Please include the Veteran’s name and unit or job title during their service. Veterans do not need to be present for our program to be included in our slideshow.
Toy Drive
Forest Creek's Service Club is collecting toys to benefit Dell Children's Hospital and to bring awareness to OMS. OMS (Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome) is a rare childhood disease that has no cure. The goal is 200 toys. If you would like to donate a toy, please send it in with your child or put it in the box near the front office.
