High School Teacher Turns "Citizen Scientist"

Mrs. Dotts, high school ELA teacher spent a week this summer on the remote Isle Royale, an island in Lake Superior. Her goal was to take part in the decades old scientific study of the moose and wolves on the island. This is one of the longest- running predator- prey research projects in the world. Upon her return she wrote a fascinating article about her experience that she will use in her classroom this year.

It was an evening of learning, sharing, and building connections as we work to create a safe and supportive school community.

Pick Up/ Drop Off Information

If you are picking up or dropping off your student at school, please abide by the following:

Use the parking lot on the west end of the building, near the gym entrance. Please do NOT drop off in front of the building, that is reserved for buses.
Park in a spot to wait for your child and don't sit in the fire lanes at the side entrance. This is against fire codes.
Bus riders will be released 3 minutes earlier than the drivers and pick up students. This allows the buses to get through McCauley Drive and get to the other buildings. Buses should always have the right of way when leaving the parking lots.

Pink at the Football Game!

Claymont High School Science Club

The Claymont High School Science Club started off the year tending to Moon Tree 634. We removed a significant amount of plants that most people would refer to as weeds that had grown in the enclosure over the last year. This was used as an opportunity to talk about different types of plants and teach the students the saying that "grasses are flat, sedges have (triangular) edges, and rushes are round", which is a common way to remember the key differences.

We also found some interesting fungi as well as a spider with an egg sac attached to its abdomen which was safely relocated. Our Moon Tree Stewards have done an excellent job cleaning up the area to ensure it grows to be a mighty sycamore.
