WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!
Please note that volunteers will no longer be assigned to lunch and lunch recess supervision. Lunch recess supervision will now be provided by Noon Duty Supervisors, Classified Staff, Student Teachers, and School Interns.
Teachers and staff may still request volunteer assistance during other times (e.g., library, or classroom activities). In these cases:
Volunteers must be cleared, approved, and remain under the direction and in the vicinity of the supervising teacher or staff member at all times.
Any misconduct, unsafe behavior, or concerning actions observed on school grounds must be reported immediately to the front office administrative team that coordinates volunteers. This applies regardless of whether the incident occurs during the volunteer assignment.
Our shared priority is the safety and well-being of all students, staff, and community members. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Dear Families,
To keep our campus safe and running smoothly, we ask for your partnership with arrival and dismissal routines:
Pick-Up & Supervision: If you are picking up your child on campus before dismissal, please wait outside at designated buildings for your child. Once your child is dismissed into your care, they must stay with you and be supervised at all times.
Closed Areas on Campus: The playground, play structures, grassy areas, library, and other common spaces are closed before and after school unless your child is enrolled in an after-school program. Our staff cannot provide supervision in these areas, and we need to ensure the safety of all students and staff.
Student Behavior Expectations: Students should not be play fighting, putting hands on one another, or running around campus. Children are expected to keep their hands to themselves, walk calmly, and remain in their designated areas (such as standing with their class line before the start of school).
Areas Outside the School: After dismissal, we are seeing children unsupervised or far from their parents on the grassy areas, handrails, poles, embankments, and exterior steps around school. Students have also been climbing trees and playing on slopes. This is not safe or acceptable. Please move play to a park or other safe location off school grounds.
Morning Reminders: Before school begins, children and adults should not be playing on the structures, running on murals, or gathering in areas not designated for waiting. If you are on campus, please help us by being mindful and modeling school expectations in all shared spaces.
We truly value keeping an open campus for arrival and dismissal, but to continue this practice, we need everyone’s cooperation. When families linger or allow children to play in restricted areas, it creates safety and supervision challenges for our staff.
Thank you for supporting us in keeping Bay Park a safe and welcoming place for all.
As a reminder, due to student allergies, student dietary restrictions and to follow district policy, we do not allow food/treats to be brought in for the students to the classroom. You are always welcome to bring little items such as stickers, fun pencils, etc. for the students in your child’s classroom.
The following information is about the status of Clairemont High School's mascot. To ensure they are in compliance with Assembly Bill 3074, and in partnership with local tribal leaders (see their letter), CHS will soon begin the process of changing the Chieftain mascot to another mascot. It is important to point out that the name of the school, Clairemont High School, will remain the same, as will their colors of orange and blue. Should you want more information about this, the Town Hall Meetings that will be held to select the new mascot, or to submit an idea or possibly be part of the Naming Committee, please see the CHS Mascot Rebranding Webpage.
Pets and other animals are not to be brought onto school grounds at any time. Animals are permitted at school only when needed for instructional purposes and when under the strict control of qualified instructors or handlers.
Please do not walk your dog on campus after hours or on the weekend.
For those planners out there...Here is the 2025/2026 Community Year at a Glance. We are still working on some dates, and those are highlighted.
The purpose of the Clairemont Community of Schools Committee is to assemble Clairemont Cluster staff, parents and community members to discuss information that will ultimately improve the Cluster’s programs and presence in the Community. Watch the yearly calendar for meet times and dates.
Clairemont Community of Schools Website
The segment of Denver Street between Jellet Street and Clairemont Drive will be closed through the end of next week, and the segment of Denver Street from Ingulf Street to Clairemont Drive will be closed through early September to complete pipeline installation. A detour has been established. Please see the map for detailed detour information.
We urge your students, faculty and staff to exercise extreme caution when walking, driving and biking near construction zones, and to allow extra time for travel during peak traffic hours.
New afterschool programs will start in the next few weeks. Click here for the PeachJar link for programs that will run after school.
