Clarks Creek Elementary School

We are so excited to be supporting the Back Your Badge Marathon! This brand new marathon (and half-marathon and 5K) event is right here in Plainfield, supporting our emergency personnel - firefighters & EMTs, police officers, and 9-1-1 dispatch. In addition to the longer events, there is a FREE KIDS' RUN! Mrs. Donovan will be at the finish line to award our Clarks Creek finishers their awards. We would love for Clarks Creek to have lots of our students there to represent CC! Plus, parents who sign up a child for the Kids' Run will get a 20% discount for the other events. Visit www.backyourbadge.org and you can sign your child up for a free 1 mile or 1/2 mile run. It's going to be an exciting evening! Let's show our support at this great community event!#backyourbadge #kidsrun #representCC

We hope to see many parents for our School Safety Meeting on Monday evening!

Parents of 4th and 5th graders, we look forward to seeing you at the parent meeting tomorrow night!

Parents of 2nd and 3rd graders, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow night at the parent meeting!

As our new year begins, you may find that you need to speak to someone on our Clarks Creek office team. We are here to help! Here are the faces to go with the names you may need to contact throughout the year.

Kindergarten, 1st grade, and parents of students in life skills or functional skills classrooms, we can't wait to see you tomorrow!

The countdown is down to zero! We can't wait to see our students at Clarks Creek tomorrow! Our smiles are ready to see yours! #CCquakersfirstday #beststaffever

Day 1: One more day until school starts! Our doors open at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow! We can't wait to get this year started and are ready for the best year ever! Share your first day of school pictures on social media and use the hashtags #ccfirstday2023 #clarkscreekpride #firstday2023 #countdown2023 #everystudenteveryday

Day 2: Attendance matters. Let's work together to develop strong attendance habits. Did you know you can monitor your child's attendance by logging into your PowerSchool account? We are here to prepare your child for future success. Also, if your child is ill and needs to stay home from school, be sure to let us know! You can call (317)203-7770 to report an absence. #everydaymatters #firstday2023 #countdown2023

Day 3: Will your child eat a meal from the cafeteria? This year breakfast will cost $1.80 and lunch will cost $2.80. There are options to fund your child's account online or to send in cash/check in an envelope with the child's name, grade, and LUNCH written on it. You can see more info about those options on the Food Services page of the district website. We also have many families that are able to take advantage of free or reduced price meals for their children by completing the online application. At this time, the application is not yet open for this school year. A separate message will go to parents when this does become available. Even if you're not sure you would qualify for this income-based benefit, it's free to apply and never hurts to fill out the application. #firstday2023 #countdown2023 #letseat

Day 4: Find all the important dates and school breaks/holidays by viewing our school calendar of events. If you use a Google calendar yourself, you can add our school calendar right to yours or just view it online. Find the link on our school website on the "Our School" tab. www.plainfield.k12.in.us/o/clarks-creek-elementary-school/ #firstday2023 #countdown2023

Day 5: Will your child be riding the bus to school this year? If so, you can expect a Parent Square message with the details of pick-up/drop-off times, bus-stop location, bus number, and driver name on July 28th. If your child is a car rider, make sure you have signed up for your car tags and have read the important information in the Parent Guide about arrival and dismissal. Parents of walkers should use the same form as the car riders to share this information. It's important for you to read the arrival and dismissal info in the Parent Guide as well. Links to these are in the Parent Square messages recently sent or on our website. #CCfirstday2023 #countdown2023 #getemheresafely

Day 6: of the #CCfirstday2023 countdown is all about staying informed. Make sure your correct email address and phone numbers are always up to date in PowerSchool. Sign up for text alerts in ParentSquare, too, so the latest news will come right to your fingertips! If any of your contact information changes throughout the year, please notify your child's classroom teacher(s) and the main office so you never miss a thing! #CCfirstday2023 #countdown2023 #parentsarepartners

Day 7: Time to start getting back into a routine! Encourage your kids to start going to bed a little earlier each night to ease into the early mornings. #CCfirstday2023 #countdown2023 #gotobedsleepyhead

Day 8: Back to school means it's time to stock up on supplies! Check our school website for the required list and grab everything your child needs. If you need assistance with supplies we have some donations that have been made that may help with this. Feel free to stop by school and check out the table inside of door 1 to see if something you need may be available there. Don't forget to label all supplies with your child's name to ensure they stay organized and easily identifiable. #CCfirstday2023 #countdown2023 #dontloseyourstuff
