For student safety, campus supervision begins when the gates open. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, gates A, F, & H open at 8:40 a.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, gates open at 8:30 a.m. for students attending Jogging Club on the lower field. Please note that there is NO SUPERVISION on the blacktop before these times, so students should not be dropped off early.
If parents or family members plan to be on campus during the school day, you MUST check in at the front office and wear a visitor sticker while on campus.
Beginning AFTER Spring Break, gates A, F, & H will open 2 minutes before the final bell to help maintain a safe campus during the school day. On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, gates will open at 3:33 p.m., and on Wednesdays they will open at 12:58 p.m.
At dismissal, we kindly ask that anyone picking up students remain outside of the hallways, as teachers are working to safely dismiss students and ensure everyone exits campus in a timely manner.
Thank you for helping us keep our Stingrays safe! 🐟

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! 💙💛
We are working toward an important goal, 100% of our families connected to Parent Portal.
Parent Portal is an essential tool that will follow your student all the way through high school. As your child moves into middle school and high school, it becomes one of the most important ways to monitor grades, attendance, academic progress, and overall success. Getting connected now helps build strong habits for staying informed and engaged in your student’s education.
Please note: if you are logging in using your child’s sign-in credentials, you will not have access to all of the features available to parents. A parent account provides full access to forms, contact information updates, and important student records.
Parent Portal is also the best and most efficient way to ensure your contact information is accurate and up to date. This allows us to communicate important school and district information with you quickly and effectively.
In addition, all required yearly forms must be completed through Parent Portal. These include the LCFF Form, Housing Survey, and Impact Aid Survey. Completing these forms annually is extremely important, as they directly impact school funding and resources that support our students.
For additional information and step-by-step support, please visit the San Diego Unified School District Parent Portal resource page:
https://itd.sandiegounified.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=27969551&pageId=30753591
If you are not yet connected to Parent Portal or need assistance accessing your account, please contact Ms. Holly. We are happy to help!
Thank you for your partnership and for helping us reach 100% connection.
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.
