If you have any questions about the handbook, please contact the Clairemont School Office.
*Each week, The Clairemont Bulldog will feature a District Initiative Update to help communicate the ways Clairemont promotes CSD's District Improvement Plan to: Advance Educational Equity, Accelerate Student Achievement and Build a Positive Culture and Climate. We are grateful for your support and partnership and please let us know if you have any questions.
Safety Update
HEAT INDEX
We actively monitor the daily heat index and adjust student outdoor activity appropriately. Having a water bottle, staying hydrated and limiting exposure to high temperatures supports healthy little bulldogs.
