Counselor's Corner newsletter for May 2025
May is looking to be a busy last month of school! Let's finish out this year strong!
Save the dates! Here are our dates and times for end of the year awards!
We welcome our past Mossy Creek students who are graduating to come walk the halls and let our students and staff cheer you on and celebrate you as you begin your next chapter!
Our 2025 Senior Graduation Walk will be Friday, May 23rd at 1:00 PM.
Parents,
Please be aware of our state testing schedule. All 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be testing in May, and it is important that they are present and on time these days. Please try to avoid making medical appointments or other things during this time, so that students are here and ready to test! Help them get to bed on time and have a good breakfast (or be here for breakfast at school until 7:30!), so that they are set up for a great day and show everything they've learned this year!
Dads, we can't wait to see you for our last All Pro Dads Chapter meeting of this school year, next Friday the 25th. We will be discussing "Integrity", and the importance it has in yours and your families' lives. Please RSVP and join us!
Good afternoon parents,
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 5th through the 9th. We have plans to celebrate our hardworking faculty and staff at Mossy Creek and are asking for help!
Please check out the sign up for any items you would be willing to donate that week. See the description for days they will be needed that week. We appreciate any donations that are given to help show our faculty and staff how much we love them!

March Counselor's Corner Newsletter
Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5, there is a threat of severe weather with wind gusts in the morning forecasted to exceed 40 mph. This wind speed exceeds the threshold allowed for school buses to be on roadways. This wind event will result in a need to shift to e-learning tomorrow.
Employees should plan to report to their work location on a two-hour delayed start, with no building or office opening before 10 a.m.
Afterschool extracurricular practices, games, and events will continue tomorrow as scheduled. There will be no QuestZone tomorrow.
We apologize for the challenges that this will cause our families and appreciate your continued cooperation and support!
Parents! You are invited to "Donuts with Grown-Ups" on March 25-27th. Please come enjoy sweet time and breakfast with your children before the busy school and work day!
