April 23, 2008
The last month has been an exciting one for some of the Clinton Staff members. Mrs. Hoppmann, Clinton Kindergarten Teacher, was named one of the LPS State Farm Educator Award winners. She was surprised during the school day with her family and students there to celebrate with her. Mrs. Katt, Second Grade Math Teacher, was awarded the R.L. Fredstrom Leadership Award during a surprise reception in the Media Center last week. We have so many wonderful staff members at Clinton and these awards are reflective of the teaching and learning here each and every day.
After School Dismissal Plans: Please help us get all of our students where they need to be after school each day. Please set up a regular after school plan. Make sure you review the plan before your children leave for school each day. It is impossible for us to deliver notes to students each day concerning a change in plans. We appreciate your help in making the end of the school day a positive one for all 530 of our students.
McGruff House Volunteers: We are looking for McGruff Houses for the 2008-09 school year. McGruff House is a national program to promote child safety as students walk to and from school each day. If you are home at these times and would like to apply, contact Officer Jared Minary with the LPD Crime Prevention Unit at 441-6514. A criminal history check will be completed for applications to ensure we send our children to safe houses.
Don’t ARRIVE until 7:45 a.m. Adults will be out to supervise at 7:45 a.m. for our students safety. Please do not bring your children until that time.
