Our amazing Student Council is excited to kick off this year’s Coins for a Cause campaign!
From February 18th through March 25th, students will be collecting coins to support a truly meaningful organization, the Autism Society of San Diego. This wonderful local nonprofit provides support, resources, and advocacy for individuals with autism and their families right here in our community.
Student Council members have already visited classrooms to deliver shoeboxes for coin collection, and they are eager to see them fill up! Every penny, nickel, dime, and quarter makes a difference.
So, take a moment to check those couch cushions, car cup holders, and kitchen drawers. Your spare change can create real change for an amazing cause!
Thank you for supporting our students as they learn the importance of leadership, compassion, and giving back. Let’s see what we can accomplish together! 💙💛
As we continue working together to create a focused and positive learning environment, we kindly ask that toys and fidgets be left at home. While we know many of these items are fun and exciting, they often become a distraction during the school day and can interfere with learning.
We also want to remind families that gum is not allowed on school property. Unfortunately, we have recently found gum in several areas around campus, including on our new turf, structures and even on our parachute during PE. This creates a very messy situation and can damage school equipment that all students enjoy using.
We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these expectations at home. Thank you for helping us keep our campus clean, safe, and focused on learning for everyone!
Please be advised that Impact Aid Survey Forms went home this week. If you received this form please return it as soon as possible. This is critical for school funding.
The survey can also be completed through Parent Portal. We need 100% participation. AS OF FRIDAY WE ARE AT 80% If you have already completed this step you should NOT have received a paper form. Please either complete the form on Parent Portal, or return the paper form.
Her heart, resilience, and commitment to every child uplift our entire community.
Thank you, Mrs. Pecina, for inspiring excellence every single day.
Her hard work, heart and unstoppable commitment keep our campus running smoothly each and every day.
Thank you, Ms. Holly, for all that you do for our students, staff, and families.
If your child will be absent, you can always call the main office to let us know. Another quick and easy option is to email Ms. Dena Truelove at dtruelove@sandi.net or text if you have received a text message from Ms. Truelove or Ms. Holly
We work to update attendance by 10:30 each morning. Please keep in mind that if you only notify the teacher, the office may not get the message and you could still receive the automatic absence call.
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.
