November 2025

Hello all you wonderful Cougar families,
It’s hard to believe we’re already into November! I want to encourage you to take some time to enjoy the beauty of the changing season. I love this month because it reminds us to pause and be thankful for the many blessings in our lives. One thing I’m especially thankful for are the great teachers at Clear Creek. On October 16th, I had the great honor of recognizing Mrs. Jennifer Cariaga as Clear Creek Elementary School’s Teacher of the
Year at the Nevada County Teacher of the Year celebration. This county-level event honors outstanding educators from across our region, and Mrs. Cariaga’s recognition is a true reflection of her exceptional dedication to her students, her innovative teaching, and her commitment to collaboration and excellence. We are so proud to see her represent Clear Creek at the county level and grateful for the lasting impact she makes each and every day in our classrooms and community.
Physical Education
Physical Education is a required class by State curriculum. PE days are every Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure that your students come prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear to participate each day in PE. This
has become a highlight for many of our students.
PTC
I want to thank our PTC and all the volunteers that made our Fall Festival a huge success. Without the support of our PTC, events like these would not be possible. If you are not currently active with our PTC I want to encourage you to come to the next meeting and get involved. Our next meeting is on November 19th at 3:00 PM and you are all invited.
Home – School Communication
Good communication between the school and home is very important to us and we are working to provide numerous ways for this good communication to take place. Please call the school office when your child cannot attend school.
Don’t Forget we are out of school on Monday 11/10 and Tuesday 11/11 for professional development and Veterans day. Thanksgiving break is 11/26-11/28, enjoy your time with family and friends!
Here is to a notable November!

Art to Remember is coming SOON! Look out for details coming your way
