Clairmont Newsletter Week #20

Mission

Our Mission at Clairmont Elementary is

to deliver a high quality educational experience for all students

through engaging teaching methods, academic excellence,

and cultivating a positive climate and culture.

Vision

At Clairmont Elementary, we believe that every student can succeed

through the collective commitment of our teachers, staff, and parents.

Our goal is to create an environment where all students are inspired

to realize their full potential and achieve at the highest level.

Happy New Year, Clairmont families! We hope you enjoyed a restful and relaxing two-week winter break as we prepare for the second half of the school year.

We’re starting the month with some great events on campus. On Monday, we will host our first Fresh Food 4 Kids food distribution of the new year. On Wednesday, please join us for Coffee with the Principal.

A friendly reminder that every Wednesday is a minimum day at Clairmont Elementary, with dismissal at 12:30 and 12:35 p.m.

We can’t wait to welcome back our well-rested students and see all their smiling faces tomorrow! 😊

Warm regards,

Mrs. Johnston
Principal

⏰ Attendance Matters!

Being on time sets students up for success. Breakfast begins at 7:30 AM, giving students plenty of time to eat and line up by 7:55 AM.
Students walking onto campus at 8:00 AM are late. Arriving on time teaches responsibility—a life skill that supports their success now and in the future.

👋 Missed On-Site Fingerprinting?

No worries! Here’s another opportunity to complete your fingerprinting and get cleared for classroom volunteering and field trip supervision.

For the safety of our students, the school parking lot will be closed to through traffic daily from 1:50 to 2:15 PM.

Pick-Up Reminders:

• Students walk to the south end of the parking lot to wait by the crosswalk.

• Parents, please wait in the fire lane for student pick-up.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping our students safe!

📞 Reporting Absences

Families have 10 days to report the reason for a student’s absence. Please call our attendance line at 209-953-8267, option 3 whenever your child is out.

🩺 Scheduling Appointments

Whenever possible, please schedule medical or personal appointments outside of the school day. If your child must miss school for an appointment, send a doctor’s note upon their return.

⏰ Being on Time Matters

Students should be on the blacktop by 7:55 AM, ready to learn when the bell rings at 8:00 AM. Arriving late means missing valuable morning routines and instruction that set a positive tone for the day.

🤝 Thank You for Your Partnership

Together, we’re building strong attendance habits—because every day and every minute count!
