Final Family Newsletter of the Year
Dear Chloe Clark Families,
What an amazing school year it has been! As we wrap up, we want to express our sincere gratitude for your support, partnership, and enthusiasm throughout the year. It has been a joy watching our students grow, explore, and shine.
To the families moving on—whether due to military transitions or new opportunities—we wish you safe travels and smooth landings. You’ll always be part of the Chloe Clark story, and you will be missed.
Before we officially head into summer, here are some important updates and reminders:
