Midas Creek Elementary – Home of the Mountain Lions

 

Welcome to Midas Creek!

Mission Statement

Maximize every child's capacity as a learner. Maintain a kind, happy, positive and nurturing environment for children.

 

 

Dear Families,

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we want to ensure that every child is placed in a classroom where they can thrive. Our team is working hard to create balanced class lists that support the needs of all students.

To help us make the best placements, we invite you to complete the Parent Input Form. This form allows you to share information about your child’s learning style, strengths, and any special considerations. Your input helps us match your child with the best classroom environment.

We’re also excited to announce our “Meet Your Teacher” event, which will take place on the last day of school for students in grades K-5. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to meet their teacher for next year and start building a positive connection.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the school office. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s success!

Best regards,

Principal Theresa Christensen, MAT, Ed.S.

Dear 2026-27 Kindergarten Families,

We are excited to welcome your child to our kindergarten program! Here’s what you need to know as we prepare for a successful start:

Early Registration is Important
Registering your child early helps us plan for the best possible kindergarten experience. Please complete registration as soon as possible to secure your child’s spot.

Kindergarten Readiness Testing
We will conduct kindergarten readiness testing in May. This helps us learn about your child’s strengths and how we can support their learning.

Summer Fun Activities
We’ll provide a list of fun, simple activities for your child to enjoy over the summer. Complete the activities, then bring the finished packet to the school throughout the summer and receive a new one. Your child will receive a special prize for each packet completed and engage with our administration, helping them feel comfortable and excited for kindergarten!

If you have any questions, please contact our office. We look forward to a wonderful year ahead!

Sincerely,
Principal Theresa Christensen, MAT, Ed.S

2025-26 School Theme

Launching into Limitless Possibilities

Students will be launching themselves into learning this school year. We will focus on setting goals, having a growth mindset, and celebrating our small wins towards our end goal. Our main priority will be showing kindness to all students during their learning process. 

Each month, every teacher will select one student to celebrate how they showed reaching for the limitless possibilities at school. This could be academic, social, or behavior focused. Students that are selected will be announced, get their picture taken, and get a small treat and prize. We will send home a post card sharing the exciting news! Midas Creek students, get ready to LAUNCH INTO LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES!
