Dear Clearfield Area Elementary Parents/Guardians,
It is hard to believe the first day of school is right around the corner. We are hoping that your children are as excited as our faculty and staff is to get the new 2024-25 school year started! Whether this is your first time preparing a little one for school or you are already familiar with our building as an elementary parent or guardian, we welcome you to Clearfield Area Elementary! We are focused on providing a safe, structured, and supportive environment for your child to learn and grow in. Your participation as our partners in your child’s education is of upmost importance. We will constantly strive to provide high quality instruction, support, resources, and care for your child. Please be sure to ask your child about his/her day, review information that comes home at day’s end, communicate with our teacher(s) and consider participating in our incredible PTO. We look forward to sharing the best years of your child’s development with you while supporting the challenges and celebrating the many successes along the way. Please see the following Save-the-Date information and feel free to contact our Elementary Office at 814-765-5511 (ext. 1000) with any questions you might have.
~Save-the-Date Information~
Wednesday, August 14 Kindergarten Parent/Student Night (6:00-7:30 PM)
*Please enter/exit through the front door only (meet in the Gym)
Thursday, August 15 Kindergarten Half Day Orientation for Students with Last Name beginning with A-L (8:45-11:30 AM) We strongly suggest that students ride the bus the day of orientation. There will only be Kindergarten students on the bus and it will provide a chance to become familiar with the bus without a lot of other students present. Doing so will also give our bus drivers an opportunity to put a name with a face. Even if you think your child will never ride the bus to or from school, we still recommend you let them ride that day because they will most likely be riding a bus to field trips and on other occasions. A bus information letter will be sent out in the near future.
