Attendance Matters

Consistent, on time attendance is critical for all students. Please make sure your child arrives to school before 8:45 am and is prepared for the day at school.

This year, we have set a school-wide goal to achieve a 96% daily attendance rate. Currently, our attendance rate for the year is 96.49%.

Historically, the second and third quarters have been the quarters with our lowest daily attendance rates of the year. Last year, during the second quarter, our attendance rate was 95.44%. So far this quarter, we have an attendance rate of 96.47%! Let’s do our best to help keep our students healthy and at school for the next two weeks; let’s finish the quarter strong!

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

You are invited to a special Chat with the Principal on Thursday, December 11 at 8:50 AM in the school library.

Your input is important as we work together to keep our school safe and welcoming for everyone. Thank you for partnering with us!

Traffic Reminders

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, unmarked parking spots, and in the drop-off/pick-up area. 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.

Drop-Off/Pick-Up Loop In Front of the School:

• 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.
• Do not park in the pick-up/drop-off zone or leave your car unattended in these areas to pick up your child.

YMCA and Giving Tuesday

As we approach the holidays and Giving Tuesday, a day of global generosity which unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities, we would like to remind families and staff our school’s relationship with the YMCA. As you know, many students at Clear View Elementary participate in programs via the YMCA, including the LEAD Hub and camps housed at schools in our district during breaks. The YMCA is making a difference in our local community, whether it is by offering day camps to our students or swim lessons over the summer.

That is why we choose to support the YMCA not only with our time, but also in charitable giving. Please join our team today in making a gift to our local South Bay Family YMCA to support children, families, and seniors in our neighborhood.

You can make a donation to our school’s fundraising page in just seconds by clicking this link: https://www.classy.org/fundraiser/5932480

Every gift makes an incredible difference! Thank you for giving back to our community.

Attendance Matters

As we enter the cold and flu season, let’s work together to keep our students healthy and at school by reminding and reinforcing healthy practices such as frequent hand washing, not touching mouth, nose, and eyes, eating well, and getting plenty of sleep. Every day of school matters!

Leader in Me Family Night

You are invited to a fun-filled hour in the auditorium with your child! We’re thrilled to invite you to join us for an exciting session focused on Habit #1: Be Proactive! This habit is all about taking responsibility for your life and choices. This involves focusing your energy on what you can control (your “Circle of Influence”) rather than on things you can’t, and recognizing that your behavior is a result of your conscious decisions, not just your circumstances. During our time together, we’ll learn to recognize our emotions to better understand what we feel and why and develop the ability for empathy and compassion to understand others.

We hope to see you and your family at our Leader in Me Family Night on Wednesday for a night of connection, growth, and, of course, fun!

Federal Survey Cards

Last week, Federal Survey Forms were distributed to students. Please complete the form for your child and return it with your child to school as soon as possible. We are requesting that all cards are returned by Friday, November 21. If you make any corrections on the card, please initial the corrections before returning the card to school. We appreciate your help completing and submitting these cards. Our school funding is impacted by the number of completed surveys turned into the school.

As the start of the cold and flu season nears, let’s work together to keep our students healthy and at school by reminding and reinforcing healthy practices such as frequent hand washing, not touching mouth, nose, and eyes, eating well, and getting plenty of sleep. Every day of school matters!

Let’s work together this week to get back on track toward meeting our goal.

Trunk or Treat Festival

We would like to thank the Clear View school community for supporting our recent PTA Trunk or Treat Festival on Friday night. This event was made possible by the generous donations of time and candy. Thank you to our PTA and Trunk or Treat Festival Committee members for organizing the event as well as all those who volunteered to decorate their car and pass out candy. It was a wonderful opportunity to socialize and enjoy a fun evening together as a school community.

All are welcome to attend. Please email Mr. DeVore at ray.devore@cvesd.org if you would like the link to join the meeting.

Traffic Reminders

To ensure smooth traffic flow during drop-off and pick-up, and, most importantly, to ensure the safety of students and families, it is essential that everyone follows the protocol outlined below:

Drop-Off/Pick-Up Loop In Front of the School:

• 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.
• Do not park in the pick-up/drop-off zone or leave your car unattended in these areas to pick up your child.

Windrose Way (Crosswalk and Bus Zone) – We have been experiencing cars stopped and/or parked along the red curb near the crosswalk and in the bus zone during pickup and drop-off. In addition to impacting school buses, cars stopped in this area impact visibility, making crossing the street difficult and dangerous for students and families. Please use unmarked curbs west of this area for pickup and drop-off.

Again, for the safety of our school community, it is important for everyone to follow these procedures at all times. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during our drop-off and dismissal time.
