At Hemlock Creek, we are committed to providing exceptional educational experiences that inspire students to reach their fullest potential. We belive every child deserves a safe, supportive, and encouraging learning environment where they are challenged, encouraged and celebrated every day.
Hemlock Creek Elementary opened in the fall of 2007 and expanded with a $4 million addition that was completed for the 2015-2016 school year. Today, we proudly serve nearly 800 students in kindergarten through fourth grade. Our four-year-old kindergarten (4K) program is housed at the West De Pere School District's 4K Learning Center at Westwood Elementary, where both morning and afternoon sessions are offered.
Our Mission: High Levels of Learning for ALL students!
Our Vision: At Hemlock Creek we are committed to the success of every student. We foster a safe and inclusive environment where students grow academically, socially, and emotionally and work collaboratively to ensure that all learners thrive.
A Commitment to Student Learning
Our instructional program is designed to meet the unique needs of every learner. Each grade level has dedicated instructional blocks for literacy and mathematics, allowing teachers to provide focused, high-quality instruction.
Students also participate in daily PHANTOM time, which provides opportunities to:
- Reinforce essential learning standards
- Intervene when additional support is needed
- Support continued growth
- Enrich learning for students ready for additional challenges
Our teachers work collaboratively to analyze student data, make informed instructional decisions, and monitor progress to ensure every child continues to grow academically.
Enriching the Elementary Experience
In addition to a strong academic foundation, students enjoy a variety of enriching educational opportunities. Students in kindergarten through fourth grade receive:
- Weekly art instruction (50 minutes)
- Physical education three times each week (25 minutes per class)
- Music instruction twice each week (25 minutes per class)
- Weekly visits to our school library
Students also benefit from school counselors who support students' social emotional well-being and help create a positive school climate.
Technology is thoughtfully integrated throughout our school. Students have access to Chromebooks, ipads, a green screen, makerspace activities, and classroom technology that supports grade-level learning. Every classroom is equipeed with an interactive display and amplification system to enhance instruction and student engagement.
Partnering with Families
One of Hemlock Creek's greatest strengths is the outstanding support we receive from our families. We belive that strong partnerships between home and school are essential to student success.
Families are enourage to become active members of our school community by volunteering in classrooms, participating in our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), and attending the many school events held througout the year.
Together, we create a positive, caring school community where every child is known, valued, challenged, and supported. We are part to be part of the West De Pere School District and look forward to partnering with your family throughout your child's elementary years.
