Creek Intermediate School will be a bridge between elementary
school and middle school. SCIS will build a solid foundation for
all students so they may thrive and grow to be productive learners
in a safe and age appropriate environment. There will be a step up
from 5th to 6th.
We will be following the 7 Habits.Habit 1: Be proactive. Youre
in charge. Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind. Have a plan. Habit
3: Put first things first. Work first, then play. Habit 4: Think
win-win. Everyone can win. Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then
to be understood. Listen before you talk. Habit 6: Synergize.
Together is better. Habit 7: Sharpen the saw. Balance is best.
PRE AP FOR ALLThe state of Texas designates three levels of
instruction for the core academic areas of Language Arts,
Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies: Traditional Pre-AP
(Preparation for Advanced Placement) Challenging coursework that
engages students on a high level in preparation for high school AP
courses. AP (Advanced Placement) Advanced high school coursework
taught on a college level. Students who pass AP exams can earn
college credit.
PRE-AP FOR ALLLovejoy believes that every student should have
the opportunity to achieve his/her highest potential. To that end,
all regular core academic 6th grade and middle-school courses are
taught at the Pre-AP level. Not all students will choose to
continue into the high school AP program, but all students are
given the opportunity to prepare for this option.
