Above and Beyond Awards:

At Sloan Creek, we know EVERY staff member goes above and beyond, though we may not always hear about it. Who are our unsung heroes? Has a SCIS teacher or staff member gone above and beyond for your child/family? We want to hear about it! Parents, community members, staff members and students are welcome to share.

Click Here to nominate a staff member

Mrs. Longfellow: She goes above and beyond to teach our special needs son. Not only does she find ways to engage with him, she also pushes him to do his very best. She's amazing!!!

Mrs. Holland: She encourages our daughter to work hard and is flexible to make sure she learns the material without feeling overwhelmed. We are so glad to have her in 5th grade Math!

Mrs. Nash: Mrs. Nash chose to invite her remote learners to a zoom lunch this week. She gave up a lunch in solitude to be with her kiddos who are missing so much "social" because they are remote. In doing this, the kids that joined got to hang out with their teacher virtually and got to socialize with each other at lunch as if they were actually in the cafeteria. Thank you, Mrs. Nash!
