Community Updates: Fri. May 13/22

Posted On Friday May 13, 2022

Dear Clara Hughes Community,

We are excited to let you know that if you were a part of our Cookie Dough Fundraiser, the Cookie Dough will be ready for pick up on Monday May 16, 2022 from 3:00 – 4:30 pm.

Thank you for supporting us with your children.  We need to work together to make sure our children are safe at school.  Please remind your children of the following things;

  • We have a hands-off/feet off policy.  They should not be touching other students or their belongings
  • Use your WITS (ask your child about this)
  • If you see something, say something
  • Be kind and respectful always to peers and adult

We are asking again that if you come to the back of the school to pick up your child at the end of the day, please stay on the perimeter of the school yard.  Now with the weather being so beautiful, many classes will be outside at the end of the day as a part of their learning.  Teachers will be wearing their orange vest and we are asking that you keep your strollers and younger children close to you so they do not get hurt by our students who may be playing with equipment.

Thanks again for your support in keeping our students safe and following the expected behaviors at our school.
