This is the official page of the Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District. DCJESD began in 1876, with all students in a one-room schoolhouse. Now consisting of ten award winning, state-of-the-art elementary and middle school campuses serving over 6,600 students, we have successfully been educating students for nearly 140-years in the communities of Antelope and West Roseville.

📸 Flashback Friday | Celebrating 150 Years of Dry Creek Schools 🎉

As we celebrate 150 years of excellence, we're taking a step back in time each Friday to share a piece of Dry Creek history. From memorable moments and familiar faces to classrooms and campuses of the past, we'll celebrate the stories that helped shape our district.

This week's flashback takes us to 1999 inside the computer lab at Olive Grove Elementary! 💻 Back then, classes visited the lab on a scheduled basis to explore technology and build computer skills.

Fast forward to today, and students have instant access to technology with Chromebooks right in their classrooms. It's amazing to see how far we've come while continuing to prepare students for the future.

Campuses were filled with smiling faces, big hugs, and lots of high fives as students and families were welcomed back by our amazing staff. The positive energy and enthusiasm for the year ahead could be felt everywhere. 📚❤️

This year is extra special as we celebrate 150 years of excellence in education, proudly serving our community since 1876. Come along with us as we Honor Our Past, Celebrate Our Present, and Inspire Our Future!

Today was all about first impressions, new friendships, and big smiles! 🍎

Our youngest learners and their families visited Olive Grove, Barrett Ranch, and Antelope Meadows for TK Meet & Greets, where they got to see their classrooms, meet their teachers, and begin the exciting journey into school.

Superintendent Cliff De Graw stopped by to personally welcome our newest students and their families, helping kick off this special milestone. From our principals and teachers to our families and students, the excitement was contagious!

We can't wait to welcome all of our students back for their very first day of school tomorrow. See you in class! 🎉📚

Tomorrow marks the start of a brand-new school year! 🍎✨ Before students arrive, Superintendent Cliff De Graw caught up with staff to ask what they're most excited for and what makes a successful school year. Their answers are a great reminder of what makes Dry Creek so special! Here's to a year of learning, growth, and showing up for one another. We'll see you tomorrow!

Positive vibes were felt across Dry Creek’s middle school Premier Days this week!

Students at Antelope Crossing, Creekview Ranch, and Silverado picked up schedules, grabbed books, got their ID photos, PE gear, and so much more, while reunited with friends and staff.

From smiling faces on campus to Silverado’s annual 6th grade family BBQ, it’s already feeling like an amazing start to the year!

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back on August 6th! 🎒✨

Dear Dry Creek Schools Community,

It is with great excitement that we welcome Krista Arata as the new Executive Director of Special Education. Arata brings more than 20 years of educational leadership experience dedicated to ensuring every student has access to an inclusive, supportive, and high-quality learning environment. She officially began her new role in July 2026.

Arata’s passion for special education is rooted in advocacy, inclusion, and collaboration. Her experience in special education includes SELPA administration, instructional leadership, program development, and legal compliance. She has successfully led initiatives focused on behavioral and instructional supports, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), and social-emotional learning.

“My passion has always been helping students reach their fullest potential by strengthening partnerships with families and staff. I am excited to pour my passion into the Dry Creek community as I begin this brand new journey, building on the district’s strong tradition of excellence in education for all while ensuring students have the support they need to succeed across all domains,” Arata said.

Most recently, Arata served in multiple leadership roles with Sacramento City Unified School District, including Administrator of Teaching and Learning and SELPA Administrator. She has also held multiple special education leadership positions with Elk Grove Unified School District and California State University, Sacramento as an Adjunct Professor and Extensive Support Needs (ESN) Credentialing Supervisor.

Arata is known for her thoughtful approach to leadership, guiding teams through complex processes while building trust and collaboration, creating learning environments where students, families, and staff feel supported and valued. Please join us in congratulating Arata. We look forward to her contributions to the Dry Creek community.
