Bridge Creek is teacher directed and recognizes the importance of an involved family in each child’s education. The school requires parents to volunteer hours in a number of ways and encourages a high level of parent participation.

Personal Responsibility: Demonstrating respect for others, a sense of personal responsibility, integrity and other basic character traits are important for each child’s safety and productivity in school and for their future.
