Clifford Comet Connection
Volume 1, Issue 1
Welcome to Margaret Clifford School, where the Adventure Begins!
Welcome to Margaret Clifford School! I'm delighted to introduce myself as your new principal. As I step into this role, I'm excited to get to know each of your children and to be part of these first big steps in their school journey. These early years are where curiosity takes root, friendships begin, and children start to see themselves as learners. I'm committed to making sure our youngest students feel safe, supported, and excited to come to school each day.
Over the coming weeks, I'll be visiting classrooms, meeting families at drop-off and pick-up and at different events, and looking for various ways to connect with our school community. I want our school to be a place where families feel welcome and heard. I hope to meet many of you at our Ice Cream Social, Open House and Back to School Night!
Please take a moment if you have not done so already to review some important information such as our arrival and dismissal procedures, our new district personal device policy, approved snack list, supply list, and welcome letters for families. The links to all important documents are below.
I am also extremely excited to share that our school store with new Clifford Comet gear will be open very soon. Check out our new apparel designs with a variety of merchandise ranging from t-shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants! The link to the school store will be available very soon. More information to come!
And finally, thank you for trusting us with your child's education. I'm looking forward to an amazing year together!
Warmly,
Yuna Park
