If you have some time, we’ve got the kids and the games they love to play!

Please consider becoming a recess volunteer. Recess will run more smoothly, and you’ll have a great time!

Come see how your children are learning in art, music, p.e., Spanish, and media & technology, and you might win an iPod!

Important Update

We are half through October and thanks to great hand washing and covering up those coughs and sneezes, Clinton School has been healthy. We are asking for your help to have this continue. Please keep your child home if he/ she wakes up not feeling well or is sick during the night. If your child has a fever during the night or in the morning, please do not administer Tylenol or Motrin/ Advil and send them to school. It is much better to give your child a day of rest at home, than to send him/ her to school sick. Not only may them make others sick, they may be more susceptible to other germs in the classroom. Please note that if your child is home sick from school, he/ she may not participate in after school activities such as brownies, boy scouts, after school enrichment etc. Our goal is to keep all of our students safe and healthy. Thank you in advance for your cooperationin keeping our school healthy.
