Dear Clear Creek Families,
As you read in the letter sent on Friday, March 27, 2020, all Nevada County schools will continue Distance Learning through Friday, May 1, 2020. The teachers are working on the next packet. They will be ready for pick-up this Friday, April 3rd between 9:00 am- 12:00 pm. We will try a drive through this time to avoid people having to get out of their cars. Please be patient and courteous of your fellow drivers and staff members. We will try to keep the line moving as best as possible.
You will pull into the parking lot and come up the first ramp to the tables to receive your packets. You will also drop off completed work in the return box at the table. We will have a bin for returned library books if you have any. You will then proceed to the far driveway ramp to exit. If there is a line, please do not block the entrance driveway.
If you are unable to pick up your packet at the designated time, please email the teacher or call the office to schedule another time for pick-up.
The staff is available during Distance Learning for calls and emails. The school and teachers will be available to communicate with parents and students during the Distance Learning model.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time. Please take care of your families and stay safe and healthy!
Sincerely,
Carolyn Cramer
Superintendent/Principal

SCHOOL LUNCHES
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Clear Creek School will provide an opportunity for families to drive through and pick up lunches for the children in their family, at our school site. Lunches will be provided by Central Kitchen, the same vendor that provides our daily school lunches. We will provide lunch for that day and breakfast for the following day. Lunches are available for pick up daily between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m at Clear Creek School. Please stay in your car.
In order to have lunch ready for pick-up, you will need to email lvaughan@clearcreekschool.org daily before 7:30 a.m. If you cannot email, you can call the school at 530-273-3664 to order also before 7:30 a.m.
This program will be solely for the pick-up of meals. Meals will not be consumed on-site. We encourage families to continue to be proactive in reducing the risk of COVID-19 by not congregating at the school site once meals have been distributed. Continue to wash your hands often, sneeze or cough into a tissue and stay home if you are sick.
Synergy ParentVUE Portal
The parent portal, ParentVUE, will give you access to realtime attendance, school messages, progress reports, report cards and other data about your child or children.
Greetings from the PTC and welcome to the 2019/2020 school year at Clear Creek! Please attend PTC’s monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of every month at 3 pm.
Principal’s News
Well, hello Clear Creek Community Members! This has been quite an interesting time for our school and our entire country. First, I want to say that I am wishing everyone well. The Clear Creek staff misses each of you are hoping we will be able to come safely back together again soon. You should be in the midst of your first learning packet, and don’t worry if you have some questions because your teachers are there to help. Please contact your child’s teacher via email or phone if you have any questions. Many classes have already had their first Zoom meeting. It will be a process to figure all of this out and we will be fine tuning as we go through this month. Please be patient, we will get through this interesting time together.
The next packet will be going out this Friday, April 3rd. We are trying a drive through process this time and hope it will save parents from having to get out of the car. Please be careful and considerate of other drivers and as always, please do not block the driveway entrance if there happens to be a line. You can drive through anytime between 9:00 am -12:00 pm. We will have tables set up at the top of the driveway. You will pick-up your packets and drive down the far ramp to exit.
Next week, April 6-10 is Spring Break. I know we may not be able to travel, but I hope the weather is nice enough to get outside and enjoy our beautiful rural surroundings. We miss you and please take care of one another.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Cramer
