Welcome to a brand-new school year at Deer Creek! On behalf of the entire staff, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to all of our returning families and those joining us for the first time. We are excited to embark on another year of learning, growth, and community together.

Deer Creek is committed to fostering a positive and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to reach their fullest potential. We are excited to support their academic, social, and emotional development throughout the year. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff is here to guide, challenge, and encourage each student in every step of their educational journey.

As we work together, we strongly encourage open communication between home and school. Your partnership is essential to your child’s success, and we are committed to keeping you informed, involved, and engaged in your child's education. We invite you to attend school events, volunteer opportunities, and family gatherings throughout the year. Together, we can create a strong and supportive network that benefits all of our students.

This Student Handbook is a resource guide with important information that you and your child need to know to have a positive and productive school year. Answers to questions you have about our policies and procedures are outlined here, so please read and discuss the contents of the Student Handbook with your child.

We understand that the beginning of the school year can come with excitement, questions, and a few nerves. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything at all. My door is always open, and our team is here to support you and your child in every way possible.

Here’s to a year full of growth, joy, and accomplishments. We can’t wait to see all that we will achieve together.

Warmly,

Chrissy McKeown

Deer Creek Principal
