Our Values
January 2025: Principal's Letter to the Creekside Community
I’d like to take a moment to address our changing times and the many feelings that it may bring for people with disabilities, their families, and advocates.
​
For many of us, these feel like uncertain times as we know there are a lot of changes and unknowns in our future. Some of you may have a heightened sense of uncertainty about what changes may mean for your autistic child and your family. I want you to know that Creekside is here to support and help in any way that we can. We have a strong commitment to provide important and necessary educational and therapeutic services in all situations. From our starting days, where two families created what they needed and moved mountains to open up services to more families; to now, where we support and participate with advocacy organizations, experts and researchers to make sure people with autism have the support they need - Creekside is working hard for people with autism and their families.
In the coming months, if you feel you have questions or concerns, we are here to support in several ways:
-
I will continue to watch and listen for any important information that may impact your family and child and will share information as soon as I know it.
-
We are working to create a panel Q&A/Information session for parents where you can learn more about state policies and laws that have impacts for people with disabilities.
-
Feel free to reach out to me at any time if you need to talk more or join one of the monthly Principal Coffee sessions

Racial Equity Statement
For the Sake of All of Our Children
The tragic deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and too many other African Americans and Black Americans from other regions of the world embody the everyday realities of trauma and fear that await people of color when they head to work, to school, or for a jog around the neighborhood.
​
Meanwhile, crimes against Asian Americans - especially targeting women and the elderly - have risen dramatically since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, and have been attributed in part to the previous administration's problematic link between the virus and Asian Americans.
​
As a nation that was built on the ideals of equality and justice we must individually and collectively feel a sense of urgency to find a cure for this disease.
​
Education will be a key component of the cure.
​
At Creekside School we believe that anyone can learn once we learn how to teach them. We believe that with the guidance of inspiring teachers and the commitment of community we can teach our children about the inherent value of every person.
​
We can learn to shun age-old stereotypes and celebrate new-found commonalities. Set aside past wrongs and appreciate heartfelt efforts. Push aside walls of bigotry and build bridges of understanding.
​
It will not be easy.
​
But for the sake of all of us - and especially our children - the work must be done.
