Clinton Cougar Newsletter
March 2023
Dear Clinton Families,
We only have a couple weeks left in 3rd term. We have been focusing on attendance, and many of our students have signed the pledge to attend as much as they can this term. We have some fun rewards coming to the grade levels who have been the most successful at making it to school. So, keep encouraging your students to come and learn all they can.
4th term brings end-of-level testing. The annual information is helpful to us as a school to see student growth, and we encourage all students to participate. If you would like to opt your child out of end-of-level testing, please notify a school administrator.
Testing data does help us see how our students are progressing in the various programs that we use. We have had some exciting reading data in our upper grade levels where we use the Summit Learning program. Acadience reading data this year has shown significant growth for our students, and we attribute this to the reading rigor they are being exposed to.
We are looking forward to a 4th term full of rich learning experiences for our students!
Sincerely,
Julie Lundell
Principal Clinton Elementary
Grow, Achieve, Succeed!

Friday School Spirit Day!
Our classes are having a school spirit competition each Friday to see who can show the most school spirit. Students should wear a school shirt, blue shirt, or grey shirt in order to be counted towards the class total for the most amazing school spirit. The winning class gets to display the spirit wreath for the following week.
Fieldtrip Chaperones and Volunteers
If you are interested in being a volunteer or fieldtrip chaperone, then you need to complete a Davis School District background check. These can take some time to get an appointment, and have completed, so earlier is better. There is a one time cost of $28. Please let Mrs. Lundell know if you need help with the fee.
You must call for an appointment with the Davis Human Resource Department for a background check. 801-402-5722 or use the online scheduler.
First Floor
45 East State Street
Farmington, Utah 84025-0588
Bring valid ID
Once a volunteer has successfully completed the background check, it is valid indefinitely, according to current state law. The background check will allow you to volunteer for any of your children for as long as they are in the Davis School District.
Waterford for Pre-Kindergarten
If you have a child that will be entering Kindergarten this year or if you have a 4-year old who will be entering kindergarten in 2023, we would like to invite you to participate in Waterford Upstart. Waterford Upstart provides four-year-old children access to the highest form of academic support in their early education at no cost to participants: The average Waterford Upstart graduate enters kindergarten reading at nearly a first-grade level and maintains their gains for years to come.
