"Where it's always a good day to be a Bison!"
News from Mrs. Marlatt!
Dear parents and guardians,
Welcome to May! Not only do we welcome a new month, but also we celebrate Staff Appreciation Week this week! Our PTO and Second Creek's leadership have put together some fun and delicious things for staff everyday this week. I am excited to celebrate our staff!
Families, the best way to show your appreciation to our hard-working staff is your partnership with us! Do you speak positively about your teacher to your student? Do you support our work by making sure your child attends school everyday and on time? Here is an excerpt from the latest blog post from the Love and Logic Institute:
"Acknowledging Teachers
A very important way to support your kids’ teachers is to do everything you can to uphold teachers in the eyes of your kids. This is an investment you can’t afford to pass up. One way you can do this is by making sure that your kids overhear you saying positive things about their school and their teachers. Don’t voice your concerns in front of your kids. Deal directly with the school or with the teacher. You’ll be glad you did."***The whole blog post can be found here.
Let's show our appreciation to our staff by spreading positive thoughts all week! The positive energy will be felt by our community and will encourage our staff during these last weeks of school. Your partnership with us goes a long, long ways, and everything benefits our students!
This edition of the BisoNews is full of information. Please take a few minutes to read and we hope to see you at one of the events shared here.
Thank you for sharing your children with us!

We will be purchasing t-shirts for students to wear during graduation. After the graduation we will have cake and refreshments. Please send $10 in cash with your child to school by April 15, 2022 to help cover the costs to make this day extra special for everyone! If you would like to donate a few extra dollars to help those students who might not be able to bring the full amount, please feel free. If you have not done so yet, please send the donations to your classroom teacher as soon as possible.
Your child will be dismissed for the day after their graduation ceremony!

What Will Teachers Learn This Week?
Traffic Reminders
The traffic reminders staff here every week in an effort to keep our students safe. You might have noticed police presence last week. Officer Castillo was here helping reenforce safety for everyone.
Parents, it is very important that we do not park on the bus lane before or after school. Blocking the bus causes delays that go beyond our school.
Here are a few reminders about our drop off and pick up procedures. You know that Commerce City police pops in once in a while and issue tickets to vehicles that are not following our safety rules... so please make sure you are doing what you can do keep our students and staff safe!
- No parked cars in the "no parking zone" - which is by the sidewalk from the beginning of the parking lot all the way to the front doors. This is a fire lane and also a bus lane. There is NO PARKING anytime. Only drop off or pick up. We have noticed many cars parked waiting for the school to open in the morning, blocking the bus and causing lines of cars that go all the way outside the parking lot. Please drop off your student and go - no parking.
- Same rules apply for pick up after school.
- Students can be dropped off at 7:30am for breakfast eaters and 7:35am for non breakfast eaters. We do not have supervision for students who are dropped off before these times.
- Students must be picked up at 3:30pm every day. We do not have staff to supervise students after school.
- Let us know if you need information about our before and after-school program.
- Please only use the handicap parking if you have a handicap license.
- The Staff of the Month parking is for staff only at all times.
We appreciate your cooperation!
