Congrats to our first On Time Otters of the school year!!!
Every Minute Counts at Swimming Pen Creek!
When students arrive on time, stay all day, and attend every day, they build strong routines, deepen friendships, and get the full benefit of every lesson. Morning meeting sets the tone for the day, and the final hour wraps up critical learning—every part of the school day matters!
This year we will share the previous week's Attendance Snapshot weekly!
Quick Tips to Help Us Reach Our 95% + Goal:
Arrive on Time: Gates open at 8:00, breakfast is served until 8:20, announcements are at 8:25, and the tardy bell rings at 8:30!
Stay the Whole Day: Avoid early check-outs whenever possible so students don't miss end-of-day wrap-ups.
Plan Ahead: Try to schedule non-urgent appointments after school or during breaks.
Thank you for partnering with us to build great attendance habits. Let's make this year our best one yet!!

As our students head back to class tomorrow morning for the first day of the new school year, it’s the perfect time for a quick refresher on getting to school safely. Whether you walk, ride, or drive, we all play a part in keeping our school community safe.
Check out these tips to help us all arrive safe:
🚶♂️ WALK SAFE!
Heads Up, Phone Down! Stay alert and aware of your surroundings.
Use sidewalks and cross only at corners and crosswalks.
Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT before crossing.
Be seen!
🚲 RIDE SAFE! (Bikes, E-Bikes, & E-Scooters)
Helmet On: Wear a helmet—it’s the LAW for riders under 16!
Obey all traffic laws, stop signs, and traffic lights.
Ride with traffic, stay off your phone, and yield to walkers on the sidewalk.
E-Riders: You are fast and quiet. Drivers don't always expect you—be extra alert and slow down at intersections!
🚌 BUS SAFE!
Wait in a safe place well away from the road.
Board or cross ONLY when the driver gives you the "OK" signal.
Stay seated and keep the aisle clear.
Drivers: Please review the "School Bus Safety Rules" graphic below so you know exactly when you MUST stop!
🚗 DRIVE SAFE!
Slow down, especially in school zones.
Expect the unexpected—look twice for kids at every intersection, driveway, and crosswalk.
Give bicyclists at least 3 feet of clearance.
Put the phone away, no texting, and focus on the road.
Let's work together to make the first day back a safe one. Share this post with your students and neighbors to help spread the word!
Be Seen. Be Smart. Be Safe.
We can't wait to see you tomorrow! 📚✨
