During the week of November 4, students will have the opportunity to take the Nevada School Climate/Social Emotional Learning Survey in their Advisory class. This survey is administered throughout the state of Nevada during the Fall to gather student feedback about their experiences at school. The survey is an opportunity for students to anonymously share their experiences of their school’s climate with their school, school district, and NDE. To learn more about the survey, visit nevadaschoolclimate.org. Parents can preview the survey by viewing the attachment in your email. Questions on the survey are optional. Students can choose not to answer any question they do not want to answer. If you have any questions about the NV-SCSEL survey, please contact Spring Creek Middle School at 775-777-1688.
Conferences are October 29th and 30th. Notices have been sent home. If you have any questions, reach out to your student's advisory (1st period) teacher.
There will be a 2 hour Early Out for Professional Development on Wednesday, November 13th for all Spring Creek, Wells, and Carlin Schools.
Transportation will be conducting bus evacuation drills before they leave the school on Thursday afternoon. Students may be dropped off 5 to 10 minutes late as a result.
