It’s a great week to have a great week, Pioneers! This little snack has mine off to a good start…


As the school year gets underway, Mr. Gariglio took the time to share the formula for success…


Buses will be on the roads early tomorrow. Let’s do our part to keep each other safe.


Our transportation partner, Auxilio, is looking to add one additional daily driver to our staff. Please contact our Director, Tessa Lewis, at 989.386.9569, with interest. Starting pay is $18/hour, and includes additional safety & attendance bonuses. Thank you!

Kindergarten Boot Camp is underway! A great opportunity for our youngest Pioneers to have the school to themselves and learn the ropes. Clare is a great place to live and learn!



A collage of Clare students from the 40s and 50s…I’m guessing there are dozens of wonderful people and stories here.



And…these pros are back at it! Student engagement learning to emphasize credibility, relatedness, value, autonomy, mastery, and effort from our Pioneers.

Marching Band Camp continues on another beautiful day!



Free Student Meals for all students has ended. When the 2021-22 school year ended, so did free meals for every student. While the federal government funded a program allowing all students access to free meals over the last two years, Congress recently declined to continue supporting this program. If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, they can still receive them this fall, but you must take action to make it happen.
Please complete the 2022-23 online application: https://clare.familyportal.cloud/. If you prefer to print, fill out, and return the application to us, it can be found online on our website, under Food Services.
Thank you, and have a great day everyone!
