The Bulldog, October 22, 2026

Note from Mrs. Lockwood:

Another amazing week of teaching and learning at Clairemont! The change in the weather also brings about more sniffles and coughs. The goal is for students to be at school every day. However, if they need to be out due to illness please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher and Mrs. Brackins.

We came close to meeting our 98% daily attendance goal this week, but not quite. Let's see if we can reach that goal tomorrow!

Friday: 122/129, 95%

Monday: 120/129, 93%

Tuesday: 122/129, 95%

Wednesday: 125/129, 97%

Thursday: 125/129, 97%

The votes are in!!! This year's Family Movie Night feature is Toy Story 5!!

Be Part of a Beloved Clairemont Tradition!

The Decatur Holiday Marketplace & Café is back, and we need our amazing Clairemont families to help make the magic happen!

For 35 years, this special event has brought our school community together for a festive weekend of shopping, creativity, food, music, and holiday fun. And the Marketplace is made possible entirely by parent and family volunteers!

There are lots of ways to help!
You can volunteer for a single shift, help with setup or cleanup "Transformation", lend a hand in the Café & Bake Sale, welcome shoppers, help behind the scenes, or jump in wherever you're needed.

Whether you have an hour, or a whole day, we'd love to have you on the team!

Come be part of the Clairemont Crew!

Signing up as a member allows you to fully access our website and add your bulldog to the directory, along with classes and groups/clubs. This membership supports our school and the National and State PTA by paying annual dues that help us operate. We use PTA funds to support teacher grants and school events. A portion of the $10 serves as dues paid to the National and State Parent Teacher Association, which is our governing organization.
