The Clear View staff would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your partnership throughout the first half of this year. Together we can make the biggest impact on the academic and personal growth of our students.

We wish you a fantastic holiday season and a happy New Year. Please remember that our winter break begins on Monday, December 20. School resumes on January 11 (minimum day).

Smarty Ants/Achieve3000 and iReady Break Challenge

We want to announce now that over the winter break (December 20 – January 9) we will be offering a voluntary challenge to all of our students (Kindergarten – 6th grade). Each student who completes the following reading (Smarty Ants or Achieve3000) AND math (iReady) goals over the winter break will be entered into an opportunity drawing in which the two students from each grade level (K – 6th grade) will be randomly selected to receive $20 in Scholastic Bucks to use on the scholastic website. Below are the goals which must be met in order to be entered into the opportunity drawing:

Goal for Kinder – 2nd Grade Students

Smarty Ants  – Use the program for a total of 180 (3 hours) or more minutes

iReady – 120 (2 hours) or more minutes on the program

Goal for 3rd – 6th Grade Students

Achieve3000  – Complete at least 5 activities with a score of 75% or better on the first attempt

iReady – 120 (2 hours) or more minutes on the program

Last Week of Quarter 2

It is hard to believe that this is the last week of the second quarter. We are proud of our students and the growth they have made so far this year academically and as leaders!

Report cards will be sent home with students at the end of the week. Winter break begins on Monday, December 20; school resumes on Tuesday, January 11.

Let’s finish the quarter strong. Have a great week!

Habit Celebration Spirit Week

Lost and Found

Please be sure to have you child check the lost and found for any items that may be missing. Any unclaimed items will be donated over the winter break.

We recommend putting your child’s name on the items that are brought to schools (i.e. lunch box, backpack, water bottle, sweatshirt/jacket, etc.).
