CABALLERO'S TOP 5
Week 1 — We Are Off and Running, Braves!
WOW! What a first four days! We have officially welcomed our students to Willowcreek, and I couldn't be more proud of how well our first week has gone. Our students have learned about the important expectations, procedures, routines, and safety drills that will help them find success at Willowcreek.
Remember, at the end of the day, student choices are what will best serve them when they align with our expectations. We will continue to teach, redirect, support, and celebrate you along the way!
Now for this week's Caballero's Top 5!
1. BRAVES ATHLETIC ADMISSION PRICES
Here are the Willowcreek Braves Athletic Admission Prices for the 2026–27 school year:

2. LIFETOUCH PICTURES
Wednesday, September 16th is Picture Day!
More information will be coming home regarding ordering and picture details. Get ready to show us those best smiles, Braves!
3. WILLOWCREEK SHOWCASE — BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT
Our Back to School Night has been rescheduled for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, from 5:00–6:30 p.m.
But we're doing it a little differently!
This will be our WILLOWCREEK SHOWCASE! Come see and learn about all the wonderful things your students have been doing at school. This is also a great opportunity to put a face with the names of the teachers and staff who work with your child every day. We hope to see you there!
4. ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL — YOU'RE GETTING THE HANG OF IT!
AM DROP-OFF:
It has looked SO much better! Thank you for meeting our expectation of “Drop and Go.” The morning line is moving much faster, and we appreciate everyone's cooperation.
Remember:
All students enter through Door B, unless a teacher or the school has contacted you regarding a different plan.
After 8:35 a.m., students must enter through Door A.
Students arriving between 8:35–8:40 will have five minutes to get to their locker and then report to class.
After 8:40 a.m., students are considered late and will need a pass from our Attendance Secretary, Mrs. Tuitman.
PM PICK-UP:
Thank you for waiting until 3:40 p.m. or later to arrive for pick-up. It has made a HUGE difference!
We have actually timed the process at approximately 12 minutes from dismissal to having our students picked up and the parking lot cleared.
TWELVE MINUTES! Not bad, Braves! 😎
Thank you for helping us keep things moving and, most importantly, keeping our students safe.
5. DON'T FORGET YOUR PICTURE ID!
If you are coming to Willowcreek to pick up your student or have a conversation about your student, please bring a picture ID.
Our secretaries will ask to see your ID so we can verify that you are listed in PowerSchool as someone who is authorized to have contact with or pick up your child. This is one of the ways we help keep ALL of our students safe.
Please also remind any emergency contacts, family members, or friends who may pick up your student that they need to bring a picture ID.
IMPORTANT: If someone comes to pick up your student and they are not listed in PowerSchool, we cannot release your student to that adult.
Please take a moment this weekend to double-check your PowerSchool information and make sure all emergency contacts are accurate and up to date.
ONE LAST THING…
We have a lot to learn. We have a lot to accomplish. And we have a lot to be proud of already.
Thank you to our students, families, and staff for your patience, flexibility, and willingness to embrace this new beginning. We are building the culture of Willowcreek together, and every day, I see more evidence that we are going to be something special.
Have a wonderful weekend, Braves!
Be Bold. Be Respectful. Be Accountable. Be Valuable. Be Engaged. Be Successful.
WE ARE BRAVES!
Principal Caballero
