Dear Creekside Elementary Families,

Welcome to the 2025–26 school year! I am honored and thrilled to introduce myself as the new Principal of Creekside Elementary. It’s a privilege to join this fantastic community and to serve alongside our exceptional staff, amazing students, and dedicated families.

My mission is simple but powerful: to help create a school where every child, staff member, and family feels seen, heard, and truly valued. At the heart of my leadership is a deep commitment to supporting our incredible educators so they can continue to inspire, empower, and nurture our students each day. Creekside is a special place because of its strong spirit of connection and care—and I’m committed to strengthening that spirit even more.

Together, we will ensure that every student has access to high-quality learning in a safe, inclusive, and joyful environment. At Creekside, we are more than a school—we are a Professional Learning Community (PLC). This isn’t just a model we follow; it’s a mindset that shapes everything we do. Here's what that looks like in action:

  • We lean into learning – for our students, ourselves, and one another. Growth is a journey we share.
  • We are solution seekers – not just problem identifiers. We move forward with action and intention.
  • We stay rooted in clarity – always understanding the “why” behind the “what,” so every step is purposeful.
  • We hold onto hope – embracing challenges and responding with resilience, optimism, and the belief that great things are always possible.
  • We live the “We got you” spirit – because no one at Creekside ever stands alone.

Our work is also guided by our I CARE values—Integrity, Collaboration, Attitude, Respect, and Excellence. These values shape who we are, how we show up, and how we grow—together.

This new chapter is filled with promise, and I’m genuinely excited about what we will accomplish as a team. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your commitment to our Creekside Cougar community. Please feel free to reach out to me at nlopezwilliams@cherrycreekschools.org or by phone at 720-886-3505. My door is always open.

With gratitude and a whole heart,
Nancy Lopez-Williams
Principal, Creekside Elementary
