Keep Town & Country within the Dry Creek School Boundary
Petition to keep the Town & Country neighborhood within the boundary of Dry Creek Elementary School. Dry Creek is our neighborhood school and is at risk of having its boundaries redrawn by Clovis Unified to exclude children residing in Town & Country.
Town & Country is located southeast of the intersection at Fowler and Shepherd Avenues, adjacent to the Deauville neighborhood, sharing a common entrance at Armstrong Avenue.
Town & Country is Dry Creek. Residents volunteer in their children's classrooms, support the Dry Creek PTC, attend the school Carnival and pledge money to the jog-a-thon. Cars sport Dry Creek bumper stickers not only as a show of support for our children but because we have pride in our neighborhood and it's association with Dry Creek Elementary.
- Families moved to Town & Country so our children could attend Dry Creek. Never could we have imagined that CUSD would move to displace our children given Town & Country’s close proximity to Dry Creek Elementary.
- Town & Country and Deauville to the east are tightly integrated neighborhoods; our children attend school, foster relationships and play within our combined neighborhood parks – to redraw the boundaries, splitting up children located within these close-knit neighborhoods would be tragic.
- The proposed boundary change would create a significant impact to our young children currently attending Dry Creek. These children need as much stability as possible.
- The proposed boundary change leaves our children isolated relative to other Century Elementary school families.
- The safety of our children needs to be a priority for Clovis Unified. The proposed redesign does not provide a safe way for our Children to walk or ride a bike to Century Elementary School. Routes to Century from Town & Country are high speed-limit 2 lane unimproved roads with no bike lane or sidewalk available.
