Bullying / Cyber-bullying
Creekside High School takes bullying very seriously. We teach students the values of integrity, mutual respect, personal and social responsibility, and compassion and expect demonstrations of those values on and off campus. Furthermore, every student has a right to come to a school in a hostile free environment.
Students who feel they are subject to bullying are encouraged come speak to a counselor, administrator, teacher or any adult on campus. The school is equipped to help, but needs to know in order to address issues that arise.
Here are some valuable resources for students, parents, and teachers:

Garden Project
Thanks to a grant from the Whole Kids Foundation and the City of Irvine Afterschool Leadership Program under the leadership of Alvia, and the IUSD grounds department (thanks Andy!), what was once an idea to create a school learning garden to teach students about nutrition, sustainable farming practices, and the science behind gardening has become a reality. We are starting our first planting with a salsa garden. Our goal is to expand the garden to include fruit trees, flowers, and to add fencing around the plots to prevent our friendly rabbit population from helping themselves.
Cougar Den
Back by popular demand, our after school tutorial program, Cougar Den begins on Monday. Cougar Den provides students the opportunity to get assistance on current course work, as well as an opportunity to earn accelerated credit.

Parent Guide to Enhance Student Success
Myiusd.org
In order to serve you better, we are asking all parents and guardians to update their student’s emergency
telephone contact information if this changes anytime during the year after the registration process. The web-based information portal for IUSD parents, MyIUSD.org, provides secure and private access to your student’s emergency contact information, as well as other information such as grades, progress reports and daily attendance.
Pertussis Vaccine Requirement
A new California law requires students entering grades seven through 12 to get immunized with a booster shot for pertussis, commonly referred to as “whooping cough.”
In response to a national epidemic, the state passed Assembly Bill 354 back in 2010, mandating that children 10 years and older show proof that they’ve recently received a pertussis vaccination called “Tdap,” which includes boosters for tetanus and diphtheria. Adults are also advised to get the shot if they haven’t already – particularly if they’re around infants.
