Claver Chronicles

PRINCIPAL'S CORNER

Dear SPCCS Community,

This week's edition of Claver Chronicles is filled with school happenings. We want to pray for all families and individuals who were impacted by the hurricanes. If you are in need of of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our school office.

The End of the first Trimester is upon us. Please take the time to review your student's grades in the family portal. Please sign up for your Parent Teacher Conferences Here or using the link below.

Our Annual School Gala has been postponed and will no longer be on November 9th. The rescheduled date to be announced this week. The annual Gala is one of our primary fundraisers where we honor individuals who have impacted SPCCS as well as the greater Tampa Bay Community. You are invited to attend this special occasion and we will be offering a discount ticket for our families. We will also be posting a sign up for volunteers to help with the event.

Finally, I am very proud of our students who have risen to the occasion and continue to exceed expectations. We are making big strides in school culture and we will continue to persist. In the months to come, I will begin to highlight the "Legacy Launch Pad" an accelerated achievement concept for SPCCS that was revealed at our back to school night. I am excited for the potential of so many great things to benefit our students.

During the remainder of this month and the next, I encourage everyone to remember the souls of the departed, be hopeful for the future, and thankful for all that The Lord has done.

Peace & Blessings,

John L. Davidson Principal
