It's Homecoming! Reminder: please do not park in front of the primary or middle school this afternoon so that our students may enjoy today's Homecoming parade! Also, stay through tonight's game to see the King & Queen crowned at halftime, and fireworks after the game!

Approximately 30 community members joined us last night for our first community bond forum. The future is bright with supporters like these. Much was considered and discussed, and there’s a long road ahead, but optimism is a key ingredient for success. The next community forum is October 19th.

This morning, we conducted our first lockdown drill of the year with the help of Officer David, city police, state police, city leadership, and the sheriff’s department. We always emphasize that these are “practice” in nature, and it’s an opportunity for kids to see the officers are here to help as well. We’re lucky to have all the support of law enforcement that we do. As usual, your kids and our staff were great. Thanks for your continued support of all we do, including our safety efforts.
Parents, a friendly reminder that we host our first community bond forum this Tuesday, September 13th, at 7 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. Please consider attending! Your input is vital in creating a project our entire school community can support as the Board works toward a May 2023 vote on the bond project.
We’re off to a great start this school year. Staff and students are bringing their best energy every day, and we’re onto the business of learning and achieving together…because that’s what heroes do! Thanks for all you do to make Clare a great place to live and learn!

It’s always a good time to remember we live in a great state that sometimes gets cold and snowy. Early prediction: 8-10 snow days this school year. But let’s enjoy summer and fall for awhile:)
