West Creek Academy
Saugus USD will hold a series of three informational meetings, along with 2 on-site tours, to provide prospective parents with more information on the forthcoming West Creek Academy, a new $35M elementary school in the West Creek / West Hills communities of Valencia.
Informational meetings will be held:
-
Tuesday February 9 at 9 AM at Skyblue Mesa Elementary School
-
Tuesday February 9 at 5 PM at Bridgeport Elementary School
-
Tuesday February 16 at 6 PM at Rosedell Elementary School
On-site tours March 3, at 9 AM and 10 AM at West Creek Academy.
Maps of all SUSD schools are on the SUSD web site.
Interest in the school has escalated since SUSD Superintendent Dr. Judy Fish provided more insight into the proposed cirriculum, which would center on music as a platform for learning. The school may also integrate international and cultural awareness; there have been discussions about a connection with Korea, both in culture and language. There is also a possibility the school will be open to students outside SCV. In more ways than one, this is a one-of-a-kind treasure right in our valley.
As a West Hills parent whose mello-roos are paying for the school, I’m bullish on West Creek Academy. SUSD has open enrollment at most of its campuses, which gives us a local choice of Tesoro or West Creek. I’ll also admit I don’t exactly like the idea of writing a check for something that other parents enjoy (hell, we can move to an Alta Vista nabe and just sent our kids to WCA). In the end, though, having my little ones sit next to (but not cheat off of) the best and brightest from our valley and beyond leads to better educational and life experiences. Care to split my tax bill, fellow West Creek Academy parents?
