LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year at West Creek Academy! As the new school year begins, we would like to welcome you and your children to West Creek Academy, a California Distinguished School. Everyone at West Creek Academy has made a commitment to provide the best educational program possible for our students. We are dedicated to ensuring that our school provides a welcoming, stimulating learning environment where students are actively involved in learning academics as well as positive character values. Our teachers are highly qualified and fully credentialed by the State of California. As educators we constantly strive for excellence. We are committed to providing our students with a challenging academic program aligned to the Common Core California State Standards that enable all students to achieve their fullest potential. At West Creek our staff and students participate in Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports where behavior expectations are explicitly taught with an emphasis on our students being Honest Optimistic Willing Leaders. We also encourage our students to learn and follow the Six Pillars of Character: Caring, Citizenship, Fairness, Respect, Responsibility and Trustworthiness. We are confident that they will gain the skills, attitudes, and understanding necessary to be successful 21st Century citizens. The education programs at West Creek Academy are designed to meet the needs of each individual student, and ultimately each individual student’s efforts will be part of their educational growth as well. To increase the degree of educational success, it is important that teachers, parents and administrators communicate openly and regularly concerning the progress of students. Parents are encouraged to get involved in their child's learning environment by attending school events, serving on a school and PTA committee, and helping out in the classroom or library. This handbook has been designed to serve as a source for information between the Saugus Union School District, West Creek Academy and your home. It details the procedures we utilize to create an atmosphere that promotes academic excellence, character development, unity, and a thirst for lifelong learning. We hope you will have a greater understanding about West Creek, its programs, policies, and vision for students. Please remember that together we achieve more and we welcome ou to share your ideas, concerns, possible solutions, and comments.
