Safety Reminder
With the beginning of a new year, this seems to be another good opportunity
to review school safety reminders with your children. Please emphasize the
importance of walking in groups and not talking to strangers. For additional
safety measures, visit the PUSD website at www.powayusd.com and click on the
school safety link on top of the home page.
International Friends Tea ~ All parents are invited to come and discuss Creekside's multicultural night for this year; “A Taste of Creekside,” scheduled for Feb. 25th, 2010. The idea is that families will bring a potluck item to share and then travel from booth to booth tasting foods and being enriched in each country’s culture.

PTA Reflections ~ Do you know what happened at Friday
Flag this week?
Each of the 75 Reflections participants received a t-shirt (thank you,
Rogers family), a Legoland admission ticket, and a Pat and Oscar’s kid’s
meal certificate.
Then the 20 students whose pieces moved to Council judging introduced
themselves. Three students – Anika Dandekar, Kody Xu, and Daniel Zhang
– moved to District (San Diego and Imperial County) judging. And although
Creekside pieces did not move to State judging, PUSD was represented in each
category. We are very proud of our Geckos! Come check out the MPR in
April and see all of the artwork.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Before and After School Supervision
The playground will be open to students in the morning beginning at 8:40 A.M. No supervision will be provided before 8:40 A.M. so students should not arrive at school before this time. Once students arrive, they may not leave unless a parent or other authorized person comes to the office to sign them out. To ensure the safety of our children, you will be required to show identification when you pick up your child. Supervision after school occurs at the two front parking lots and the back gate. Please pick up your child by 3:40 P.M.. ESS is not responsible for the supervision of your child after school on the playground unless you are paying/accessing their services.
Extended Student Services (ESS)
Creekside provides an ESS program, which is a fee based before and after school childcare program. ESS is open from 6:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. All students planning to participate in ESS must be registered at our ESS building. Please call our coordinator, Donnie Kirchmeier at 858-679-9601, for information regarding registration and fees.
