Greetings Clairemont CREW,
District Update
Here is an excerpt from the CSD Parent Handbook that we would like to draw your attention to:
THE CSD Parent Handbook is designed to support Decatur CREATES Leaders. Please take time to review it and be familiar with our programs, policies and procedures.
The parent/guardian partners are asked to:
Establish and maintain conditions for your child’s academic, social and emotional success:
Provide space, time and necessary supervision in which your child can study and complete assignments;
Ensure that your child attends school in compliance with the law
Ensure that your child is in compliance with the CSD dress code;
Partner with staff to maintain a positive, productive, safe, orderly and non-threatening learning environment.
Monitor your child’s social media and other online activity to promote cybersafety and eliminate cyber-bullying. See https://www.csdecatur.net/technologyathome for possible resources.
Establish and maintain a productive relationship with the school:
While interacting with members of the school community be sensitive to individual needs and be respectful to all;
Be responsible for property lost or damaged by your child;
Respect and follow the visitor policy at all schools; and
Respect and follow the traffic, parking and safety rules at all schools.
Please take time over the next week to fully review the CSD Parent Handbook:
The handbook can be found on the CSD Website: https://www.csdecatur.net/
A hard copy of the Parent Handbook Sign Off Sheet will be sent home on 8/8/19. Please sign and return to school by 8/14/19. If you have any questions about the handbook, please contact the Clairemont School Office.

Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Reading Assessment
Kindergarten and First Grade will take the MAP mathematics assessment. The MAP reading assessment, previously given in Kindergarten and First Grade, are being replaced with STAR Early Reading and DIEBELS. The change in assessments will provide more robust data about our students' early reading skills in Kindergarten and First Grade.

* Silent Voice Level
* Walk in line; no gaps/arms length, be attentive to the line and the teacher's directions.
