Island Creek's Weekly Words: October 9, 2026

Dear Island Creek Families,

Happy Friday! We had another wonderful week learning and growing with our students.

Here are a few quick updates and upcoming events to keep on your radar:

No School This Monday (Oct. 12): School is closed for students in recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Our staff will spend the day in professional development focused on trauma-informed practices, student discourse, Talk Moves, and co-teaching.
Family Friday Breakfast Bash: Thank you to the 1st and 2nd grade families who joined us this morning! Next Friday, we look forward to welcoming our 3rd and 4th grade families for breakfast.
Croctoberfest is Coming! Join us next Friday, October 16, from 5:30–7:00 PM for our SCA Croctoberfest! Please note: This is a family event, not a drop-off activity. Parents/guardians must remain with their children.

Classroom Corner: Did you know our teachers thoughtfully plan daily discussions using sentence stems and frames? These tools help our students structure their thoughts and confidently share their learning with one another.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership!

Warmly,

Jen Fallert, Principal
