Welcome to Soda Creek Elementary School! We feel very lucky to have such wonderful children and supportive parents at our school. Our mission is to meet the needs of all of our students with individual attention and we work in teams to accomplish this each day. We need for our parents to actively team with us toward this goal and we encourage you to contact us with any information, questions, concerns or ideas. Thanks, in advance, for your support!
Here are a few bits of information that I hope will help you feel informed at our school:
*Our office is open Monday - Friday from 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. You can always call earlier or later and leave a message for us. The office phone number is 879-0652.
*Please call the office if your child will not be attending school that day. If we don't hear from you, the school nurse will be calling you to confirm that your child is absent. This call is to make sure all students are safely accounted for either at home or at school.
*Our "loop" at the front of the school is a safe way for you to drop-off or pick-up your child each day. If you prefer to park and walk in, please do not park on private property or block driveways. The parking area for the apartment building on Pahwintah Street is private property and is not an appropriate place for parents to park. We work hard to be good neighbors in this tight downtown space and I appreciate you helping us retain that relationship with our neighbors!
*Please do not use your cell phone in the loop. We have had numerous close calls with parents talking on cell phones and either not having complete control of their steering wheel or not paying close enough attention to our safety supervisors. PLEASE PUT YOUR CELL PHONE DOWN UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE LOOP FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. Thank you.
*You are encouraged to become a member of our PIC (Parent-Principal Information Committee) and/or our SAC (School Accountability Committee). The next PIC meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 14th at noon and our next SAC meeting will be on Wednesday, October 21st at 2:00 p.m. Both meetings are held in our school conference room in the office area.
We strive to communciate well via this webpage and notices sent home, however, if you are needing information at any time, please call our office at 879-0652. We are here to support you and our students so please let us know what you need. Thank you, in advance, for supporting our staff and students as we all work together this year!
