Principal's Message

Dear Chloe Clark families,

As winter weather sets in, please send your child to school with a waterproof jacket and an extra set of clothes and shoes. At Chloe Clark, we embrace outdoor play—even in the rain—unless the weather becomes extreme. Let’s keep our kids warm, dry, and ready for fun!

This week, we’re thrilled to spotlight our amazing Preschool classroom, led by Ms. Brianna Cope and Ms. Dar Reger. Their students had a blast making pumpkin pie, incorporating skills like measuring, stirring, and following directions. It’s a reminder of how much fun learning can be!

Why not bring the learning home? Get your children in the kitchen—it’s a fun way to teach practical skills and create lasting memories.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Duncan

Pumpkin Pies

are best

when made by little hands!

We are in need of gently used clothing for our health room. On any given day, there are several students who come to our health room in need of clean clothing - your donation will be greatly appreciated by many. Also, if your child has borrowed clothing, please return these items to the front office in clean condition. Thank you!
