Principal’s Corner
We have started to have several students wear “Heelie” tennis shoes to school. These are the tennis shoes with wheels in the heel. These are not allowed at Clinton School because they are not safe and they damage our rubber floors. If students wear the wheels in their shoes, they will be taken out and kept in the office until a parent can pick them up. Thank you for your cooperation.
Parent Teacher Conferences: It’s time for Parent Teacher Conferences. This round of conferences will take place on Monday, October 15th and Wednesday, October 17th from 3:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.. Your child will be bringing home your scheduled conference. Please take time to keep the lines of communication open between home and school by attending. If you have questions or need to schedule a conference, call the school at 436-1132.

Schoolwide Rules and Procedures: At Clinton School we have the following rules: Be Safe. Be Respectful. Be Responsible. We are teaching students procedures around the building.
