E- Newsletters

green Jordan Creek is “Going Green”! Beginning in January, we will be discontinuing paper copies of the Jordan Creek Journals. We feel this will be better for our environment and an easier way for our families to access the newsletter online. On Jan. 11th and every other Monday following, parents will receive an email with a link that accesses the Jordan Creek Journal. If you don’t have a current email address on file with us or you can’t access email, please let your child’s homeroom teacher know as soon as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the office at 633-5200.

 


Box Tops for Education

btDon't forget to collect box tops and labels to send to school with your child. Each classroom collects as many points as possible throughout the year. The school then uses these points to purchase necessary items for different classrooms and grade levels. The following websites show a list of items that earn points for our school. If you have questions, feel free to contact the office at 633-5200.

A Letter from the Principal
Nancy Dear Students and Families,
We wish to take this opportunity to welcome you to Jordan Creek Elementary School. You will find it to be an excellent school with sincere personnel willing to work with you to make our school the "best."

Parent involvement and support is encouraged. Students who know their parents are involved and communicate effectively with teachers usually do well in their schoolwork. Interest and enthusiasm are contagious. Please read the family handbook together and refer to it during the school year as needed.

It is our desire to provide each Jordan Creek student learning environments that are warm, caring, and educationally stimulating. We hope that students and parents alike will find Jordan Creek to be a school of which they can be proud and supportive.

General information about the educational programs and procedures at Jordan Creek Elementary is summarized in the website and handbook. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns during the school year. Working together, we'll all learn and grow.

Sincerely,
Dr. Nancy S. Moorhead
Principal
