Message from the Principal
Happy 1st of November Dolphin Families,
It's hard to believe we have already been in school for 53 days! I am in awe of the progress the students are making and as always impressed by our amazing staff and parent community in your partnership with us in helping our students meet and exceed their goals. At Clifford we are grateful for your support, and we feel your love when you're standing alongside our staff on the yard, in the classrooms, and through your partnership in our SSC, PTO, and ELAC! Thank you to the many parents volunteering here in their child's classroom by reading our Project Cornerstone books to the classes. This collective effort to help our children feel safe, valued, and respected, and known at Clifford School is so vitally important to me and our staff. Learn more about Project Cornerstone here! I appreciate the Clifford community and I am more than fortunate to be part of it. Thank you!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Love every minute with your precious children!
In Community,
Jude Noyes
