After 38 years of faithful service to the students and families of the San Diego Unified School District and Clairemont High School, Ms. Meg Moore will be retiring at the end of the 2020-2021 school year. Whether it was her Theater class, US or World history classes, directing ASB, hosting the CHS Makin' It events, or choreographing dances for school pep rallies, to US and World History, Ms. Moore has always been been willing to do whatever it takes to provide students with an educational experience of the highest quality. It has truly been a blessing to have her professionalism, positivity, and leadership on our campus and we wish her nothing by the best in her retirement. Thank you Ms. Moore for being the embodiment of what it means to be an educator and a Chieftain!

Dear San Diego Unified Families,

Starting on August 30, 2021, we are proud to continue in-person learning for all students, including five full days per week of on-campus instruction that follows established bell schedules, transportation routes, in-person meals, and extended-day programs. All SDUSD schools will continue to monitor and follow health and safety guidelines. While in-person, full-time instruction is the primary and recommended mode of learning for all students next year, the district is offering a virtual academy for K-12 students who choose to remain online.

Our San Diego Unified Virtual Academy will offer a robust online magnet school available for students K-12. This Virtual Academy will provide rigorous daily instruction substantially equivalent to onsite instruction, which includes grade-level standards-based lessons and District and State assessments. Teacher directed instruction, at our District Virtual Academy, will require students to be highly engaged and responsible for completing all class assignments. The only option for comprehensive online instruction will be offered centrally through the Virtual Academy rather than at neighborhood schools. Students may have on-campus opportunities to receive academic support, labs or hands-on activities. High school students will have opportunities to participate in athletics.

The Virtual Academy will provide instruction for all participating students, including students receiving special education services and multilingual learners. The Virtual Academy will provide virtual IEP services, as outlined in student’s IEPs.

The Virtual Academy will not offer the following programs: Early Learning, including Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Dual Language, International Baccalaureate (IB), and/or STEAM/VAPA Magnet.

Please take a few minutes to complete the enrollment form below with your information and make a selection for Fall 2021-2022.

To help students prepare for the upcoming school year, San Diego Unified has organized Level Up SD, a summer of learning and joy, which gives every student access to added educational and enrichment opportunities starting next month. Only students enrolled in San Diego Unified schools for the fall are eligible to take part in this exciting free program. For more information, click here. So, complete your fall enrollment today!

We look forward to continuing to serve and support your child during our upcoming school year!

TRANSCRIPT REQUEST

Students should be requesting their final transcript on the CHS website. https://clairemont.sandiegounified.org/counseling/transcript_request

All high school grades should be posted on your transcript during the week of June 21. Mesa College Grades listed on High School transcripts normally take longer. However, we anticipate they will be posted by the end of June. College grades would have been posted on college transcripts before high school transcripts with college grades.

Students may get their unofficial transcript or review their transcript through their PowerSchool account. After logging in to PowerSchool, click the “Transcript” option on the left hand side. Students can print and/or save as a PDF. Students will use PowerSchool access early July as they are no longer an active student. Once this happens, students will need to request their transcript on the CHS website.

Community College (CC) Bound students should request an official transcript from Clairemont which would be given to the student. The student would provide this to the CC.

If you have any additional questions about your graduation, please speak with an administrator. For questions about your transcript, please contact CHS Registrar, Ms. Teresa Pena (tpena@sandi.net).
