From The Nurse

At Jordan Creek we believe in maintaining an environment that supports a healthy lifestyle. By educating our students about the importance of daily physical activity through recess and PE classes and also how to grow healthy bodies by making smart food choices, our goal is to help you raise a child that is healthy and happy! To support this important initiative, we ask that when sending treats to school for birthdays and other celebrations, you carefully choose a treat that will honor our mission. Please see attachment for more information and a list of healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods.”

REMINDER:

Please remember when packing school lunches and sending treats to school, that Jordan Creek continues to be a peanut-restricted school.  We have students who have a LIFE-THREATENING allergy to peanuts and peanut products, and even the mere odor of peanut products can trigger a severe situation for them.  Many pre-packaged food items have cautionary information printed on the label.  If you have any questions, please call the school nurse, Lisa Farrell, at 633-5223.

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 web site and handbook. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns during the school year. Working together, we'll all learn and grow.
