Safety Issue on Stonebridge Creek

In order to keep our students safe and show respect for

our neighbors on Stonebridge Creek we ask that you use

the designated drop-off and pick-up locations each day.

If you still find it necessary to park on Stonebridge Creek

we ask that you please observe the following:

• Drive slowly and carefully watching for students

and parents as they cross the street.

• Park only on the side of the street next to the

school parking lot and not in front of the houses.

• Park only in the direction of the traffic – not

against the flow.

• Do not block driveways.

• Do not park on the grass.

• Always walk on the sidewalk once on school

property and do not cut across the parking lot.

Our number one concern is the safety and well-being of

our students and community. Thank you for helping to

keep our Fall Creek Family and community safe. Please

feel free to contact the school if you have any questions,

concerns or suggestions.

yearbook! Group pictures are the

ties since school has started and

PLEASE VOLUNTEER

AS A SCIENCE FAIR JUDGE

Fall Creek is participating in Humble ISD’s district Science

Fair this year for the first time. Participation requires that

we provide volunteers for the judging exchange program.

This helps eliminate any parent-child judging conflicts. To

participate, Fall Creek must provide the names of volun-

teers willing to judge science fairs at other elementary

schools within the district. Although you are not directly

working at Fall Creek, it is helping our school qualify for the

judging exchange program. The judges will need to be

available through the school day (8 am to 2 pm) and will be

provided refreshments and a lunch. The judging process is

very guided and simplified by helpful district employees

and other volunteers that attend the fairs. For more infor-

mation please contact Cassie Young at

Cassie.Young@humble.k12.tx.us. To see the dates of the

local science fairs and sign up to volunteer please visit the

link below. Thank you for your support.
