Dieck Elementary School

Calling all superheroes—Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is here from May 5-9th! At Dieck, our staff uses their superpowers daily to inspire, teach, and empower our Dragons. We’re just getting started… stay tuned for a week full of hero-worthy fun! #SuperStaff #DieckDragons

The halls of Dieck Elementary are bursting with color and creativity! Mrs. Jacobs’ art classes have transformed our school with vibrant end-of-year artwork, including stunning tropical rainforest animals that bring the jungle to life! As we admire these masterpieces, we also celebrate our amazing 5th graders with special art tributes to honor their journey and wrap up their years at Dieck. What a beautiful way to close the year—through art, heart, and Dragon pride!

Shoutout to our Dieck Dragons for powering through spring testing! You’ve crushed your DRA and Star tests, and with just two weeks of M-STEP left, we’re almost there! Your focus, effort, and determination have been amazing—now let’s rock it out and finish strong! Keep showing what you know, Dragons—YOU GOT THIS! #DieckDragons #FinishStrong #SpringTestingSuccess #CreekCodeProud #WeCanDoHardThings

Something egg-citing is happening at Dieck Elementary! Our students have been learning all about the life cycle of chickens—from egg to hatchling! With curiosity and care, they made daily observations and witnessed the incredible moment the chicks began to hatch. It’s hands-on science, real-life wonder, and lots of fluffy fun in the classroom!

Step right up to STEM with Mrs. Kelly’s classes at Dieck Elementary! These designs were from Mrs. Allison's 4th grade class. Our brilliant Dragons put their creativity, engineering skills, and teamwork to the test by designing their own carnival games! From concept to construction, students built exciting games and then challenged their classmates to play and win fun prizes. It was a day full of innovation, laughter, and hands-on learning—STEM at its finest!

Congratulations to our Positivity Project Winners at Dieck Elementary! This week, we celebrated the character strength of Purpose—setting goals, working toward them with determination, and knowing that what you do matters. Our Dragons in grades 3-5 showed us what it means to live with intention and make a positive impact! We’re so proud of these students for leading with purpose and inspiring others to do the same. Keep shining, Dragons! #PositivityProject #Purpose #DieckDragons #CharacterStrong #CreekCodeProud

WOW—my heart is full! Thank you to the amazing students, staff, and families of Dieck Elementary for making National School Principals Day so incredibly special. From the creative, personalized t-shirts and thoughtful homemade crafts to the sweet handwritten notes, beautiful drawings, and all of my favorite snacks and drinks—you truly outdid yourselves! Every gift, every word, every smile reminded me how lucky I am to be part of this incredible Dragon family. But the greatest gift of all is getting to work alongside each of you every single day.
