I would like to congratulate two of our staff members for well deserved honors. Laura Flores, our chief business manager, was awarded the "Administrator of the Year" award for Business Services. Mrs. Flores earned her award through outstanding financial work at Clear Creek School and the Superintendent of Schools Office for Nevada County. She is incredibly hard working, dedicated, and one of the most knowledgeable people regarding school finances that I know. We are lucky to have Mrs. Flores overseeing our budget in these tough economic times.

The other person to garner an award was Sharyn Turner, our school nurse. Mrs. Turner was named "Humanitarian of the Year", along with her husband Dr. Barry Turner. They received their honor for work within the county as well as overseas. Both Mr. and Mrs. Turner spend several weeks a year delivering medical care to third world countries.

We are extremely proud of both Laura Flores and Sharyn Turner and all their work for our Clear Creek students.

To keep things safe in the parking lot during after school pickup, we ask parents to please use the parking spaces and walk over to pick their children up. We’ve noticed more people forming a line of cars that extends into McCourtney Road. This can create a dangerous situation for drivers. Also, please use the staggered pickup schedule –

A-M last name @ 2:45pm

N-Z last name @ 2:55pm

Thanks for your help. (We will also work on those teachers who bring their students down late!)
