Greetings Creech Road
families! Here is to a
wonderful spring at
Creech Road. We are glad
to have made it through
the grip of winter.
Before you blink, it will be
our last day of school and
we will be looking forward
to the long lazy days of
summer. Our students
are working hard to finish
the year strong. Our
teachers are busy, using
spring Case 21 data to
guide them in providing
instruction that will help
students meet goals
before EOGs and the end
of the year. Please ask
your child’s teacher if you
have any questions about
the recent report cards or
CASE 21 data for 3rd-5th
grade. Also, all students
will be assessed on
reading skills for a final
benchmarking period
beginning May 11th. EOG
testing will begin the
week of May 18th.
EOG Tips
Parents, there are some
tips and reminders that

day!
Eat a good breakfast!
Continue to work on
stamina-reading for
45 minutes to one
hour without
stopping.
Remember to mark
your answers in book
and re-check your
answers as time
allows.
Use testing strategies
that teachers have
taught-underlining
important
information, reading
questions first and
process of elimination
of answers.
PTA
Our PTA is always working
collaboratively behind the
scenes to provide programs
for our students. They
helped make the 4th and 5th
grade field trips to the
coastal area of the state
affordable for our students
and they have sponsored
several events including
movie nights. As we look at
next school year, there is a
need for dedicated parents
to lead various

Literacy Night
Creech Road will be
hosting our first
Literacy Night on May
7th from 6:00 - 8:00.
Our very own Creech
Road debate team and
storytellers will be
performing and our
chorus will be
entertaining everyone
with show tunes. Each
student will receive a
2 and EOG information for
grades 3-5. There is no need
to cook that night! Make your
reservation immediately for a
free dinner (hot dog, chips,
cookie and a drink) for your
family.
In preparation for that night
we need volunteers on May
6th and 7th during the day to
help set up the book give
away.
If you can help at any time
during those two days, and
are a registered volunteer,
please contact Mrs. Schmitt
at 919-662-2366 or
lschmitt@wcpss.net to sign
up for a time to help.
Thank you for all you do for
our students and our school.
I feel so fortunate to be a
part of this community and
the Creech Road Family.
Best,
Seydric Williams
Principal
