A few more end-of-year moments that are too special not to share... ๐๐ฆ
As we wrapped up another incredible year at Sand Creek Elementary, we had the opportunity to celebrate some important milestones for our students.
Our 5th and 6th grade promotion ceremonies were made even more meaningful by special guest speakersโformer Sand Creek students who graduated from Mountain Vista High School this year. They returned to where their educational journey began to share advice and encouragement with our students as they prepare for middle school and the exciting opportunities ahead. Seeing our graduates come full circle was a powerful reminder that every journey starts somewhere! ๐
We also celebrated our amazing kindergarteners as they crossed an important milestone of their own! With smiles, confidence, and plenty of excitement, they are ready to take on 1st grade and continue soaring.
Congratulations to all of our students! We are proud of your hard work, growth, and accomplishments this year. Have a wonderful summer, Eaglesโwe can't wait to see where your journeys take you! ๐๐ฆ

Recently Sand Creek Elementary was honored to welcome Jackie Mader from The Hechinger Report all the way from Austin, Texas! Jackie visited DCSD to learn more about the incredible work happening around the Releasing WritersโSRSD writing framework and how it is transforming literacy instruction across our schools.
๐ซ Sand Creek was proudly selected by our Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment team as one of three schools to showcase the success of this work in action. During her visit, Jackie observed kindergarten and 1st grade classrooms led by our amazing teachers and was blown away by the level of writing, collaboration, and student ownership happening at such a young age!
Our students confidently spoke about their learning using strategies like Power and TIDE as if it were their own language โ a true reflection of the strong instruction and intentional learning happening every day at SCE. โ๏ธ๐
We are so proud of the growth our students have made in writing this year and grateful to celebrate the incredible work of our teachers and learners alongside schools across DCSD! ๐ฆ
