OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PRINCIPALS MONTH!
We celebrated the BEST principal by providing lunch from Perry's to Dr. Stone on Friday, October 5th. Thank you Dr. Stone for the love, dedication, and countless hours you give to WoodCreek Junior High, and its students, teachers, staff, and parents!
WE LOVE OUR CUSTODIANS!
We are so grateful for our wonderful WCJH custodians who arrive earlier and stay later than anyone to keep our school clean and safe! October 2nd was National Custodian Day, and we treated our staff with bags full of goodies. Be sure to thank our custodians when you see them around school!
INTRODUCING SISTER SCHOOLS!
KATY ISD - SHARING OUR STRENGTHS
A Sister School partnership encourages friendship, understanding, and cooperation between students, parents, and teachers. The partnership, or “sisterhood” goal is to share campus strengths with each other whether it be resources, ideas, or anything else that makes them great individually and even greater collectively.
We are proud to have Stockdick Junior High as our sister school and look forward to sharing service projects, staff appreciation, Spirit Nights, and much more with them!
---SPIRIT WEAR UPDATE---
If you ordered a YARD SIGN, it is here! You can pick it up in the front office. (Due to the size and weight, they cannot be sent home with students.) If you haven’t ordered yours yet, they can be ordered throughout the year. Print the order form here.
If you pre-ordered a HOODIE, they are currently in production. We will be sending them home as soon as we get them back!
