View the Clinton Elementary Newsletter here: December Newsletter
Dear Amazing and Supportive Parents & Guardians,
Our school-wide attendance has been phenomenal! We love our students to attend as much as possible! The week of November 17th we had the lowest percentage of chronic absenteeism at 10%, and we’ve been consistently below 15% this year! That is the lowest I have seen in the three years I’ve been at Clinton! Thank you for the dedication you’ve proven to support student attendance!
Our PTA is excited to bring, yet again, another wonderful, entertaining and successful play! There is one more clinic this week and then auditions will be held December 9 and 10. Please sign up your student for a time to audition. Students only need to come to the school 10 minutes prior to their audition time and can leave when their audition is done. Please make drop-off and pick-up arrangements ahead of time. The office is not open for students to call home.
Play audition sign up. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054AA4A82DAAFEC07-60746792-olympus#/

This was a great learning opportunity for all.
