It will be cold this week.

No snow, of course, but this picture looks like they are making the most of it - so we will, too, with special pants. :)

No fire drill this week - RAIN in forecast!

How about special pants Wed and Thurs with team shirts? Maybe rain boots? Science shirt in honor of Science Olympiad? Show your spirit with your pants!

It's going to RAIN pretty much all week... with highs in the '40s...again, how about special pants Wed and Thurs!

SCIENCE OLYMPIAD is next Saturday, Feb. 22nd

Wish our 4th and 5th grade students and coaches good luck - they have worked so hard for this day!

Facebook account for all Clifton Park staff is coming soon...

Please join when you get the invite. It will be a great way to post ideas, motivational messages, and information that we all would benefit from. Our jobs are so rewarding, but so tough... we need all the inspiration and support we can get! The more members, the more likely we are to really encourage each other.

Keep up the GREAT INSTRUCTION...

We love walking into your classrooms and seeing great things! We are in the countdown range to spring break - three weeks from now - but that also means STAAR is not far behind. We are planning a pep rally for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders (for the week of April 6th) - and we'd like the little ones (pre-K through 2nd) to help us encourage them! Mrs. Evans is planning this event; she will be letting you know details very soon.
