How you can support Clifford!
Dear Dolphin Families...
Welcome back to school and happy 2020!
I hope everyone had a restful and rejuvenating winter break and that all families had a great start to 2020! I enjoyed my time with family and friends over the break.
The staff and I were so excited to see your children return to school on Wednesday! We are ready for a great second half of the year and we are geared up for new challenges and fun activities at Clifford. Our students are academically prepared and our instructional program is strong.
I want to share with you that the annual, district Panorama Climate survey is coming up later this month, as well as the California Healthy Kids Survey. The Panorama Climate Survey (for all 3th-8th grade students, staff & families) is Jan 20-29. The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) (5th & 7th grade students only) is Jan 15 -29.
Please note these dates on your calendars and be on the lookout for survey instructions in the next two weeks. Students will access the survey using RCSD Chromebooks in their classrooms and entering their Student IDs as access codes. Staff will receive an email from Panorama Education with a link to the survey and will be completing it, independently, during a staff meeting.
Families will receive Blackboard Mass Notifications emails that include the family survey link for our school. Families will receive the survey in the language they selected as their preferred language for communication from the district. They will answer the questions and then select the “submit” button to enter their survey response. Be sure to tap the “submit” button, so the responses will be recorded.
Happy weekend and we'll see you on Monday, January, 13th!
