Hope you are all enjoying the final weeks of summer. We have been busy preparing and planning for an amazing school year.

School starts in just 3 weeks. Some people have been asking about teacher assignments. Assignments are generally sent out a week before school starts; keep an eye on your mailbox.

Still need school supplies? Check out the list to the right for all supply lists.

Remember to stop by the cafeteria for the PTA Coffee immediately after drop-off on 9/7. Here you can sign up for PTA membership and volunteer opportunities.

Keep checking the website for more updates as we draw closer to the 1st day of school. Are you a facebooker? So are we, “like” us at Clinton Elementary.

It’s that time of year!
A Lesson in Puberty
It is a milestone in the health of young people to experience puberty and can sometimes be a difficult and uncomfortable topic to discuss with our children

The Supervisor of Health, Physical Education and Nursing Services is pleased to host an evening on Puberty for parents/guardians of fifth grade students. The “Always Changing” video will be viewed and program resources will be made available to parents in order to facilitate further discussions with their children.

Please join us for our final PTA gathering of the school year, Our Annual Outdoor Picnic!

When: Thursday, June 10th
Where: Clinton School Front Lawn
Time: People Start Picnicking at 5:30

We’ll have great music and there will also be food, snacks, and beverages available for purchase

We’ll also welcome our 2010-2011 PTA Executive Board.

This is not a rain or shine event so in the case of bad weather, we will send an email and post on website.

The PTA will be selling ice cream for $1 (sandwiches, pops, etc.) after school this Friday, June 4th in the front of school. Students who are in the ASP program will be allowed to go out and purchase ice cream. Students who ride a district bus and would like to purchase ice cream will be brought out a couple of minutes before the bell rings so they can get to the bus in time. Unfortunately, students who go to the Y after school will not be able to get ice cream before going to the bus.

Please note that Thursday’s Field Day for 1st and 2nd Grade will now start at 10:30

March with Clinton School in the Memorial Day Parade, Monday, May 31!
Our theme this year is “Clinton Celebrates Diversity,” and we have a fabulous new float! We will assemble at the Columbia High School Student Parking Lot at 8:15 AM. Every child must be accompanied by an adult. One adult can take responsibility for more than one child, but children may NOT be dropped off alone at the point of assembly. Please wear a Clinton School shirt, or a red shirt.
