Principal's News
Dear Cliffwood School families,
Believe it or not, the end of the school year is here! It's been a great year at Cliffwood School and I am so proud of our students for all that they have learned and accomplished. During the last days of school, our students have many fun and engaging activities planned in their classes and the weather will be getting warmer (hopefully!). During these fun last few days, please continue to dress your child in appropriate attire for school, particularly no flip-flops (this is for their own safety). Also, please be aware that the last day of school is Friday, June 22nd. Note that the 21st and 22nd are both 4-hour days with 1:20 dismissal time.
I wish all of our students and their families, plus all of our great staff, a fun, relaxing, and safe summer! To our 3rd graders, best of luck next year at Lloyd Road; we know you'll make us Cliffwood Proud! For our other students, come back ready for a terrific 2018-2019 school year. See you in September! Thanks and take care,

Registering for the 18-19 school year
It's time to start thinking about next school year and that means registering new learners to attend Cliffwood in the fall. If you are planning to have your child attend Cliffwood School for the first time next year, please complete the registration process as soon as possible. It is very important that you register as soon as you can and follow all steps in the process. Please click here to read all the steps for the registration process. Note that current Cambridge Park Preschool students are not required to complete the online pre-registration (step 1 in the process) but parents must still register for Kindergarten by following steps 2-4 and provide the required residency documents at your appointment. Following these registration steps will make sure that your child has smooth and successful start to his/her school year!
