The safety of our students is always our highest priority. We ask for your cooperation during pick-ups and drop-offs. Vehicles should never be left unattended while in the drive-through areas. If you need to go in and pick up your child, please park in the parking lot.

South Side Door/Parking Lot Dismissal Guidelines

• All parents picking up their child in the south parking lot must stay in the car line (alongside the sidewalk and curb.) Please do not leave your vehicles unattended.

• The entire curbside/sidewalk lane will be utilized, so please continue to move forward in your car as the car line moves forward. No cars should be parked and left unattended in either lane (inner lane or curbside lane.)

• Students leaving the building at this location will be asked to stand along the west sidewalk next to the grass. Teachers will be located in this area.

• Students will be dismissed to the vehicle when your child recognizes the vehicle. Teachers will provide assistance in this process. Children should enter each vehicle and exit from the curbside and NOT in the traffic lane.

• If parents choose to park and walk to the school to meet your child, parking will be allowed at the south end of the parking lot. Parents and children should use the sidewalk for safety purposes.

• The inner lane of the parking lot will only serve as a means to exit or park. Children will not be allowed to enter or exit any vehicle stopped or parked in this lane.
  
  

West Circle Drive Pick-Up Dismissal Guidelines

• Please do not leave cars unattended along the curb lane or the outside lane.

• As cars pick up their child in front of you, please move forward.

• Once you have picked up your child, please move to the outside moving lane.

• Students should be reminded to stay on the sidewalk and NOT cross the parking lot in between parked/running cars.

• Students should enter and exit the car on the curbside of the car.

• Teachers on duty will guide preschool students into their car from the curb lane.

• At the main entrance, please obey the stop sign and the teacher on duty as students use the crosswalk.

• There is no left turn onto 73rd Street out of the parking lot.
  
  

Walking To/From School

• Families and students who walk to/from school should use the crosswalk at the front of the building. This includes families that park on side streets and pick up students at any door location.

We appreciate your support in keeping our students safe!

Attention parents of sixth-grade learners: Before entering seventh grade, all sixth-grade students need a Meningococcal and Tdap vaccine. Please schedule your child's doctor appointments and turn in the updated immunization forms to the nurse.

Please turn in those overdue books!

The PTO Thanks You!

A big note of appreciation to all of the Clive Learning Academy families and friends who donated their time to read stories to our students during Read Across America Week. The classrooms thoroughly enjoyed having that special time with you! Ask your student who their guest reader was and what book they shared.

Thank you to all who donated items or money for our staff meals during conference week. We can't do it without you!

Finally, thank you for the outstanding support of our Penny Wars. This year, we raised a record-breaking $3,000! To see such generosity from the students themselves, plus all the families and friends who gave online, made for an amazing week. Congratulations to our third-graders who pulled through for the win! They will be having a pizza and slime-making party to celebrate.
