Greetings Clearwater Families,
I hope everyone had a restful three-day week and took a moment to pay tribute to veterans and their families. As we approach Thanksgiving and begin Gratitude Week, I am profoundly thankful for the opportunity to work with our students and the Clearwater community.
Let's make it another great week!
Gratitude Week
Clearwater is beginning Gratitude Week this week, during which students will engage in brief lessons designed to encourage reflection on gratitude and foster a sense of thankfulness.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent/teacher conferences play a crucial role in nurturing the educational partnership between parents and teachers. The success of our students relies on the collaborative efforts of the school, parents, and students. When attending parent conference this week consider the following tips to ensure a successful conference:
- Whenever possible, involve your child in the conference. Having your child attend makes the process more meaningful for them.
- Jot down any questions you may have. This will enhance the productivity of the meeting and make sure all your questions get answered.
- Approach the conferences with a positive mindset, concentrating on collaborative efforts to ensure your child thrives academically.
- Update communication information: email, phone number, and Parent Square.
