Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Dry Creek Elementary!

 

My name is Amanda Brown, and I am honored to serve as the principal of Dry Creek Elementary. This year marks my tenth year at Dry Creek, and I remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve this incredible school community. Together, our scholars, staff, and families create a culture of excellence, belonging, and high expectations for every child.

 

At Dry Creek, we are committed to providing every scholar with a rigorous, engaging, and meaningful educational experience. As a proud Community School, we continue to be a hub of learning, support, and connection for our students and families. We believe in educating the whole child by ensuring every scholar has access to the academic, social-emotional, and wellness supports they need to thrive.

 

Through strong partnerships with families, community organizations, and local service providers, we work together to remove barriers, strengthen relationships, and create a safe, inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed. Our dedicated staff provides challenging, relevant learning experiences that foster creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving. Together, we are preparing our scholars to become confident learners, responsible citizens, and future leaders.

 

Family engagement is one of the greatest predictors of student success, and we encourage every family to become an active partner in their child's education. There are many ways to get involved throughout the year, including:

Excellence is not simply a destination—it is a continuous journey of learning, reflection, and improvement.
