Dear Parents and Caregivers,
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your continued partnership and support.
The success of Clay Hill Elementary School is truly a reflection of the wonderful community we have. Thank you for volunteering, communicating with our teachers and staff, helping with schoolwork, and consistently showing up to encourage your children. Your dedication makes a world of difference!
We wish your family a safe, relaxing, and joyous Thanksgiving filled with warmth and happy moments. We look forward to seeing our students back, refreshed, and ready to learn on Monday, December 1, when we will also be starting the administration of midyear progress monitoring assessments. Also, check out our Countdown to Christmas calendar, below, to join in on the holiday fun with daily, seasonal attire.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Warmly,
Adele Reed

November/December PAWS Points Fall Frenzy & PARTY! |
We are promoting good decision-making and strong character among our students over the next 4 Weeks with our PAWS Points Fall Frenzy! Students have individual point goals that they must achieve by December 12 in order to attend our PAWS Party during the week of December 12. Our team is recognizing students for putting forth a positive attitude, acting responsibly, making wise choices, showing respect, and being kind to others. Please help promote these goals by talking to your child about target behaviors at home. Ask your student about his or her point goal this week! |
