Clifford’s Success at Kinder Information Night

All smiles: A team of parents from Clifford School addressed incoming Kinder families' questions.
All smiles: A team of parents from Clifford School addressed families’ questions at the District’s Kindergarten Information Night.

 

On Tuesday, October 15, 2013, four parents kindly volunteered their time to represent Clifford School at the Kindergarten Information Night, sponsored by the Redwood City School District. The event was held at McKinley Institute of Technology.

2014 Kindergarten families-to-be were invited to a formal presentation by the District and then they had the opportunity to visit “booths” for individual schools.

Our team talked to over 40 potential Clifford parents, and they chatted with families about a whole range of questions. The most popular topics in conversation? The sort of enrichment programs Clifford offers, student diversity, the parent community/PTO, and how involved parents are at our school.

Thank you, Clifford Ambassadors.

All-Parent Meeting, Thursday evening, October 10

Parents and children are welcome this Thursday night, October 10, 2013, at 7PM in the Clifford library.

Join us for an information-packed PTO meeting. We want to bring you up to date with various items, including our big Fall Auction news, changes to classroom treats, and Yearbook details. Great things are happening in the Middle School as well.

In addition, our guest speaker, Saili Gousla, will be talking about coping with being a part of the “sandwich generation” – adults raising children while caring for aging parents.

A light dinner and snacks will be provided. The meeting will run from 7PM to about 8PM or a little longer.

Hope to see you Thursday!
