PTA

Please join us for our first PTA meeting in the cafeteria on Tuesday, September 12th at 6:00pm - we will have a brief meeting and then officially kick off the year for all of our Homeroom Parents, Volunteers and Watch DOGS.  Bring the whole family - in the gym we will be showing the Trolls movie and have a fun craft for the kiddos.  The PTA will also have free pizza and lemonade for all our members who attend!  Please help us plan by responding here - we hope to see you on Tuesday!

Note -- you do not have to be a member of the PTA in order to be part of the directory.  This is the place where you can get in touch with other families at Forest Creek.

Coins for Classrooms

Students are encouraged to bring COINS FOR CLASSROOMS to be given to Donors Choose for schools in the Houston area. Our campus goal is to send $2000! That’s about $2.25 per student. Please send any coins you’d like to donate to FCE in an envelope/baggie with the amount included and teacher name on it. The classroom that has the most donations will win “Flashlight Reading” in the library.

Writing Club

Writing Club-Forest Creek’s Writing Club for students in 2nd-5th grade will begin on Monday, Sept. 11 after school at 2:55. Writing Club will be every OTHER Monday.  If your child is staying after school, please send a note or email your teacher stating the way that he/she will go home at 4:00.  

Writing Club will meet in Mrs. Crochet’s music room immediately after school then go to the library to write.  All 2nd-5th graders are welcome. Bring a journal or notebook, a pencil, and your creative ideas!

Service Learning ClubDo you like to help others? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of other people? You should join our FCE Service Club. Service Club will begin on Monday, Sept. 18 after school at 2:55.  Service Club will alternate with Writing Club and will be on every OTHER Monday.  Please send a note or email to your child's teacher giving the student permission to stay and stating how they will go home.  

In Service Club, the children plan, lead, and participate in service learning projects for our school.  After school, we will meet in  Mrs. Crochet's music room, then we will go to Mrs. Bartholomew’s room.   All 4th and 5th graders are welcome. Come help us, help others!

Lunch money

When your child brings money for lunch or breakfast, remind them to stop by the cafeteria in the morning before they come to class to deposit the money in their account.  The cafeteria staff appreciates the money being turned in before lunch time so the line doesn't slow down because of that.

Restroom

Please encourage your child to stop by the restroom on their way to class in the morning.

Tardy Bell

The tardy bell rings at 7:40.  Students must be in the classroom when the bell rings or they will receive a tardy.  They can not just be in the building; they must be in the classroom.

Agenda

Please make sure you check your child's agenda.  We will begin writing in it daily to get in the habit of doing it.  We will put in assignments and when they are due.  We will also include special dates to remember.  Also, students should be recording their reading (20 minutes each day for 4 days per week).  I will be looking at this periodically beginning next week.
