Cold Weather

Attention Parents:

With ever-increasing traffic around the buildings and colder temperatures headed our way in the near future, we are in need of your assistance.  We are seeing more and more students arriving at school very early and waiting at the doors, some getting here as early as 7:00 am.  Our teachers are not available to supervise students until 7:45 each morning, therefore these students may be waiting unsupervised in the cold temperatures until permitted to enter the building.  The only exceptions are those students involved in FCA, Junior Jays Choir, tutoring, or similar events.  In these cases, the supervising teacher will be available to let your child in early.  Please help us guarantee the safety and well-being of our students by promoting a consistent arrival between 7:45 and 8:00 am.

Thank you for your help and continued support of the great students here at Clever.
