Island Creek's Weekly Words: September 11, 2026

Dear Island Creek Families,

What a wonderful week it has been with our Crocs!

After dismissal on Wednesday, our amazing educators spent time deepening their own learning. They focused on academic discourse, learning targets, and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)—all to ensure every student receives the targeted support they need to thrive. We are so fortunate to have such dedicated teachers leading our classrooms!

It was a true privilege to meet so many of our military-connected families on Thursday. We deeply appreciate your service and sacrifice for our country. Supporting military families is close to our hearts—in fact, Dr. Cash-Pinckney’s husband is retired Army, and Mrs. Fallert’s son leaves for Army Basic Training on October 13!

Fall Picture Day: Mark your calendars for this Monday, September 14! Weekends can be busy, so you'll receive a TalkingPoints reminder message on Sunday.

First PTA Meeting: We invite all families to join us in the library Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM for our first PTA meeting of the school year. The Island Creek PTA does incredible work enriching learning experiences for our students and supporting our staff. We are so grateful for their partnership!

Thank you for your continued partnership and support in making Island Creek a wonderful place to learn and grow!

Warmly,

Jen Fallert, Principal
