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.
