Canceled: Back to School Night

Hello Clifford Families, 

We apologize for the late notice, but temperatures are just too high (106 degrees) to go forward with our scheduled Back to School Night this evening. Temperatures are higher than were anticipated today and we have received messages from families and staff who have lost power as well who are concerned about leaving children/pets at home without power. Our staff and students were such troopers today in the heat, but we feel that this would be a much more positive experience on a night that was just not so excessively hot where we can better consider the health and safety of our community. Thank you for being flexible and again, we apologize for the late notice. We will be communicating a new date very soon after discussing with the teachers.

Needed: Tents/Shades for the hot weather

Hello Clifford families! Due to the forecasted temperatures this week, Clifford is asking for your help to borrow temporary shade structures to keep our students cool.  We will put them on the upper yard for middle schoolers and around the lunch tables for elementary school.  While we are currently exploring options for more permanent solutions, we need some help in the interim.  

Who: Clifford Families

What: Please bring any spare pop up tents or patio umbrellas to the school office.  Please make sure to write your name and phone number on it so we can ensure it gets back to you!

When: Tuesday, September 6th

Where: Clifford Office

Why: Help our students stay cool during this forecasted heatwave.

How: If you need help with transportation or are willing to help another family transport a shade structure, please reach out to Alex Chalmer alexchalmerpto@gmail.com.   

Thank you so much for your help making this week a little bit more pleasant
