Explorer Wednesday Briefing
September 17, 2025
Message from the Principal
Dear Chloe Families,
We are slowly settling into our school routines, and it’s beginning to feel like fall is just around the corner (officially arriving September 22!). Until then, let’s keep soaking in these last stretches of sunshine and blue skies.
Reminders & Updates:
Field Trips Are Coming!
Teachers are busy planning fun fall learning adventures. To join in as a chaperone, please make sure you’re cleared as a volunteer. It only takes about five minutes to complete the online form, and the district needs about five days to process it.Change of Clothes
With damp mornings, rainy days ahead, and the occasional messy lunch, please send an extra set of clothes that can stay at school “just in case.”Reading at Home
A few minutes of reading together each evening makes a big difference for your child’s confidence and success in school. Snuggle up with a book—bonus points if you let your child read to you!Attendance Matters
Arriving on time and ready to learn helps your child start their day with confidence and keeps them connected to the routines of the classroom community.
Thank you for partnering with us to make these first weeks of school smooth and joyful. Every day, we see students growing in independence, friendship, and learning.
With gratitude,
Mrs. Loretta Duncan
Principal, Chloe Clark Elementary
