Dear Clay Hill Families,

February is Heart Month, and we are proud to raise our students' awareness of healthy practices such as exercise and smart dietary choices to ensure heart health! Our students will participate in the annual Kids Heart Challenge (AKA Jump Rope for Heart) tomorrow, February 23 (weather permitting), and earn funds to support the American Heart Association in their ongoing research to fight heart disease and heart-related illnesses, some of which hit home right here in our Clay Hill community and affect the everyday lives of our Bulldogs. Let’s work together to build strong hearts, healthy habits, and a supportive community! 

While we stay focused on rigorous classroom instruction, we're looking forward to our annual K-2 and 3-5 Field Days, as well as Math Week at CHE in the next few weeks. Just three weeks remain before the end of the third quarter, so be sure to stay on top of your student's progress by checking grades in ParentVue and remaining attuned to teacher communication.

As always, thank you for your support of our staff and students! Without a doubt, it is our community's way of rallying around our school that makes it great!

Under the coordination of Coach Stewart, Coach Byers, and Coach Benton, our scholar athletes rose to the challenge at yesterday's Elementary Track Meet at Middleburg High School! We are so proud of these students' accomplishments, and we're grateful for the parents and staff who supported them! Shout out to Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Byers, and Coach Benton for spending the last few weeks preparing the students for the competition, and to Mrs. Wright for being there to assist & cheer at the meet!

Does your child have a smartphone? Are you thinking about providing him with one? Does your child engage in online gaming? Join us and be an informed parent, aware of how to keep your kid safe in an age where they can access virtually any content, anytime! Our goal is to prevent victimization by teaching kids to make safer, more responsible choices online and off. Topics include cyberbullying, online gaming risks, sexting/sextortion, and inappropriate content in the digital world. We hope to see you there! CLICK HERE TO RSVP

We are looking forward to an annual favorite at CHE: Math Week! From March 9-13, we will celebrate the magic of math and raise our students' awareness of math in the wold around us. Along with a variety of activities, we'll culminate the week with Pi Day (a day early) on Friday the 13th! Check out our daily dress up themes and embrace the JOY of math! Special thanks to Mrs. Tichinel and our intermediate math teacher team for coordinating!

Volunteers can assist before, during, or after school, and we know that our students are FAR more successful when we are blessed with strong engagement from our parents and caregivers!

CCDS Volunteer Registration is NOW available! Click the link below to access the CCDS Volunteer Information and Registration page!

Be a part of what makes our school great: the support of our parents and caregivers! Students achieve more when the adults in their lives engage in their education. We'd love to have YOU with us! Join the PVO today!
