About Us

Congratulations to the first of our Explorers to turn in their summer reading logs! It’s not too late…students have until August 29th to return their forms. Earn a book for every 250 minutes read! 📚❤️

Feeling so incredibly supported by the community! THANK YOU Lytle VFW for your generous donation of school supplies for our students! We appreciate you!

Who is always one of the most popular people in the school?! The SCHOOL NURSE! If you didn't get to meet her last night at Meet the Teacher, we'd like to introduce you to Nurse Kassie! She may look familiar because she worked as a float nurse in SWISD last year. You may have seen her around! Welcome, Nurse Kassie!

A huge THANK YOU to our construction company, Joeris, and some of their partners for making a difference on our campus by not only transforming our space into something fresh and beautiful, but also by collecting school supplies for our students! In addition, Joeris provided snacks for staff as we celebrated the first day of school. What a great way to start! Thanks for taking care of us!

Elm Creek welcomes our new Assistant Principal, Mr. Scott Flanagan! Mr. Flanagan has 18 years of experience in education, and most recently comes from Sun Valley Elementary. He is extremely excited to continue his career as an Explorer, and we’re happy to have him! When you see him, please introduce yourself and welcome him!

A huge THANK YOU to the Townsends & Woodmen Life for donating snacks to our staff as a token of appreciation! So very thoughtful!❤️

January 10th was chilly, but that didn’t stop our second graders from having a great time on their visit to the Witte Museum. The Witte never disappoints…there’s always so much learning that happens in unexpected ways!

The PreK garden continues to be a great place for exploration. Recently, students and teachers harvested radishes from the garden. The big question: did the kids LIKE eating the radishes?!

Elm Creek’s Accelerated Reader (AR) program is again underway. Students in grades 1-5 have reading goals they strive to achieve. As they reach pieces of their goals, they earn fun prizes. The last Friday of the month is Prize Day, so right before Christmas we congratulated students on the efforts they made towards their goals! We encourage reading at home to help students reach their goals and beyond!

Our third graders had the chance to visit Palo Alto College! We are thankful students have opportunities such as this to tour college campuses and begin thinking about what post-graduation life might look like!
