Dear Olde Creek Families,

We wanted to make you aware that Tuesday, March 3, will be a special election day for the Braddock District vacancy on the Fairfax County School Board. Olde Creek is one of 22 schools that will be serving as a polling place on March 3. We are taking extra safety precautions that will allow citizens to exercise their civic duty while minimizing disruptions to the school day.

In coordination with the FCPS Office of Safety and Security and the Fairfax County Office of Elections, we have identified an area of our school that will be open to the public during the school day. This location is removed from students and will be monitored to prevent anyone from entering other areas of the school.

We will need to make some parking spots available for voters, so if you have a meeting at school on March 3, we encourage you to arrive a little early to find parking. Otherwise, we anticipate that disruptions to the school day will be minimal.

We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we perform this important function for our community. Please feel free to reach out to me directly, if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Courtney Korb

Principal

Music in Our Schools Month

Does your student love to perform? Do they take music lessons outside of school and want to show off their skills?

March is Music in our Schools Month! This year, we are looking for student musicians to perform some songs in the lobby in the morning as students are coming to school. Each musician will get a day during March to perform a mini concert for their friends! If your student is interested, please fill out this Google Form
