NEWTO MCCSC
Principal Angie Evans Lakeview Elementary We are off to an exciting start for the 2017-18 school year here at Lakeview Elementary. I am overjoyed with the warm welcome I have received from the Lakeview community. Thank you to the families, parents, students, and staff for making my transition to MCCSC and
Lakeview Elementary such a smooth and heartwarming experience. The positive atmosphere that thrives at Lakeview Elementary is a result of the partnership between the supportive families and amazing staff. This partnership is extraordinary and will help us through any endeavor we embark upon this school year and in the years to come. Lakeview Elementary is home to the “Learning Lions” who are C.O.R.E. strong. This positive behavior initiative focuses on, Community, Order, Respect, and Excellence. Each week students are able to earn C.O.R.E. tickets for demonstrating these values. At the end of the week, we celebrate with a C.O.R.E. tunnel where students from each class are chosen to run through the tunnel. First, we celebrate with a picture and then we play music as these students move through the tunnel to be congratulated by their peers and teachers. This year we hope to expand the type of celebrations we have by using our C.O.R.E. council, made up of students in the upper grades, as a team to share ideas with and hear their feedback. We also hope to empower these council members as leaders of the C.O.R.E. values by trying some peer mediation techniques. There have been many changes here at Lakeview Elementary, both in staff and in the building. We have newly renovated bathrooms, hallways, and office space. We have a brand-new kindergarten classroom, new storage shelves and sound systems in all classrooms, a new gym floor and goals, and new paint on the upper portion of the exterior of the building. Our new staff members this year are, Malynda Fields, our new instructional coach, Jennifer Chambers in 4th grade, Hannah Redden in 2nd grade, and Jackie Casebeer and Kayla Woerdeman in Special Education. I am so proud to be a Lakeview Lion and proud to be MCCSC!
Principal Susan Petty Clear Creek Elementary
We are very excited for the 2017-2018 school year at Clear Creek and I am truly honored to serve as the new principal! During my six years as the assistant principal, I have come to view Clear Creek as my home and the staff and students as a close-knit family. Everyone is gearing up for a fun year of learning and making elementary school memories. We are especially eager to start the first year of implementing our Dual Language Spanish Immersion program. This program will begin in first-grade. The cohort of first grade students is already learning basic Spanish vocabulary and concepts and the official Immersion curriculum will begin in January at the start of the second semester. This program will allow us to grow our students into global citizens and work toward a level of bilingualism. In subsequent years this program will be offered to more students and we are enthusiastic about the benefits this program will bring and the opportunities it will afford our students in their future academic and professional endeavors.
This year we welcomed several new staff members and a new assistant principal to Clear Creek. The backgrounds and experiences these educators will bring to our school family supports our mission to honor the greatness in our students. Our school motto is “The Clear Creek are leading the way!” We will continue to promote leadership skills in every child and our staff is looking forward to revitalizing our work with The Leader in Me, a nationally recognized program. In addition to academics and the arts, I am proud to say we put a great deal of emphasis on the whole child and teach character traits, leadership qualities, and relationship skills each day. Clear Creek is such a special place. There is nowhere else I’d rather be and I can’t wait to see what the new school year brings for our Clear Creek comets!
