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.

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.

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.
