Clear View News – July 31 – August 4

Thank you for a wonderful first 8 days of school! We are so thankful for our teachers and staff that put in the extra effort to make the beginning of the school year a success and our students/families for helping up begin the year with strong attendance. We appreciate your attention to the following information about the upcoming week of school.

Attendance Matters

As you know, school attendance is so important for each student. When children are absent from school, they miss out on consistent instruction that is needed to develop basic skills. Please make sure your child arrives to school before 8:45 a.m. and is prepared for the day at school.

Our goal for the 2023-24 school year is to average 96% attendance. We have gotten off to a great start this year! Over the first 8 days of school, we had 97.03% attendance.

The following three classes who had perfect attendance last week:

Mrs. Salsman, Sr. Quezada, and Sra. Guevara

If your child is absent for any reason, please communicate the absence with Cecilia Johnson, our Attendance Secretary, via email at cecilia.johnson@cvesd.org or by phone at (619) 498-3000.

Thank you for your ongoing support with your ensuring your child comes to school on time each day.

Arrival and Dismissal Traffic

We want to thank you for your patience and understanding during arrival and dismissal at Clear View. As you know, we have many vehicles that access our parking lot and drop-off/pick-up areas each morning and afternoon.

Kinder Lot:

We understand the need for many families to park during arrival and dismissal in order to drop-off and/or pick-up their child. As you know, parking in the kinder lot is limited. It is essential that everyone follows parking lot regulations and refrains from parking along red curbs and unmarked parking spots. This will allow traffic to flow quickly and student and families to safely enter and leave campus in this area.

We encourage the use of the Terra Nova Park parking lot or the surrounding neighborhood for families dropping off and picking up students hand to hand at the TK/Kinder area.

General Drop-Off/Pick-Up Procedures:

  • Please pull to the curb for drop-off and pick-up to avoid having students walking near moving vehicles.
  • Continue to move as far forward as possible as you work your way through the line and pick up your child. This helps the line continue to move forward.
  • Please do not park in the pick-up/drop-off zone or leave your car unattended in these areas to pick up your child.
  • The bus zone (pictured here) is designated for buses only and please do not park in this area or double park in the bus zone.
  • We encourage families to walk or carpool to school whenever possible. This helps reduce the number of cars driving to campus daily.
  • We encourage the use of the Terra Nova Park parking lot for families dropping off and picking up students hand to hand at the TK/Kinder gate.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during our drop-off and dismissal time.  We also appreciate you modeling appropriate and courteous behavior for our Voyagers at all times.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up

We want to thank you for your patience and understanding during arrival and dismissal at Clear View. As you know, we have many vehicles that access our parking lot and drop-off/pick-up areas each morning and afternoon.

Here are a few reminders about drop-off and pick-up that will help ensure the process is as efficient and as safe as possible:

  • Please pull to the curb for drop-off and pick-up to avoid having students walking near moving vehicles.
  • Continue to move as far forward as possible as you work your way through the line and pick up your child. This helps the line continue to move forward.
  • Please do not park in the pick-up/drop-off zone or leave your car unattended in these areas to pick up your child.
