Clairmont Bulldog Families,

As we move forward in this new semester, I’d like to remind everyone of a few important school procedures that will help ensure a smooth and successful start to each day for our students.

• Arrival Time & Timeliness: Our school day begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. Please ensure that your child arrives on time so they can begin their learning without disruption. We want every student to start their day positively and ready to learn.

• Appropriate Dress: Please ensure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for learning and the weather conditions. This includes wearing their uniform and closed-toe shoes for safety.

• Chromebooks: Students are expected to bring their fully charged Chromebooks to school each day. These devices are essential for their daily lessons, and arriving with a charged Chromebook ensures students can fully participate in class activities.

• Phone Tree: When contacting the office, please use our phone tree system to help us address your specific needs more efficiently. Here are the options:

  • Option 1: School location and hours
  • Option 2: Minimum day information
  • Option 3: Report student absences and attendance needs
  • Option 4: School Readiness & Preschool Department
  • Option 5: Bridge After-School Program
  • Option 6: General inquiries or to reach the office

We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a positive and organized school environment for all students. Thank you for your cooperation!

Warm regards,

Ms. Shorter

• Counseling Services: We want to remind you that our school offers counseling services to support students with their social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs. If your child is facing any challenges in these areas, we encourage you to reach out. Our school counselor is available to work with students individually or in small groups to help them thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

  Please feel free to contact us if you believe your child would benefit from these services.

• Attendance: Every day, on time! Please remember that regular, on time attendance is key to your child's academic success. If your child will be absent, notify the schools absence line as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support!

• Uniforms: Your students must continue to wear uniforms throughout the school year. If you are in need of uniform assistance, please contact the office.

• Minimum Days: As a reminder, every Wednesday is a minimum day. Students will be dismissed as follows- 1st-3rd 12:35 & 4th-6th- 12:40. Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten do not have a different dismissal time, it remains 11:50 year round.

• Box Tops for Education: We are a Box Tops for Education school, which can help us earn money for our school. It is an easy way to help us earn money to purchase items and experiences that benefit your student. Check out the two flyers that are linked below for more information.

You have 10 days to call in the reason for your students absence.

Please make sure to call the attendance line when your student is absent at 209.953.8267 option 3.

Please do your best to schedule appointments outside of the school day.
