Greetings, CVE Families!

I hope all is well with you and your families. Back in November, an accident took place on Mulberry St. where a student was hit by a car. We have asked that no one drop their student off by parking across the street from the school. Since this accident, I have asked my staff to park in the back to give families space to park in the lot while dropping off. We are still seeing parents parking on the other side and walking students over or letting the students out to cross over on their own. Please use the parking lot to drop your student off and reframe from parking across from the school. While I understand that the accident didn't happen while that parent was dropping off the students for school, we want to be proactive in avoiding any danger that could occur in the future. Please use the parking lot. There are plenty of spaces available.

I also asked that you not pull up between the buses or the signs out front indicating "Bus Only." I understand that many of you are rushing to get to work, but we want to avoid any accidents. We want to ensure the safety of our students, and this is the only way to do so.

I appreciate your understanding!

Severe Weather Drill

Hello Families!

Today we had a Severe Weather Drill. Students moved through the hallway quickly and quietly to get to their location. I watched how students continued to listen and followed the direction of their teachers. Please remind your students about the importance of this and applaud them for a job well done.

Thank you for your support!

Clinton Valley Family,

February has long been the symbolic time of celebrating Black History Month.

Please remember during February to discuss the importance of Black History Month and find time to share stories, quotes, videos, or discussions with your students in celebration of the many influential Black leaders and people of our generation and those that paved the way long before us.

Our students should all know that no matter their race, religion, ethnicity, or other traits that make them who they are, they are all special and capable of wonderful things. Providing time for students to share experiences and customs is one way to start conversations.

Although Black History Month is in February, please continue to celebrate our students and their ethnicities and races throughout the year.
