Our Hellos
We would like to extend a warm Clinton Cougar welcome to Mr. Shawn Allen as our new Vice Principal and Mrs. Amy Jeffrey who will teach in our primary division and well as the role of SERT. We also welcome Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Crocker who will be joining us as Educational Assistants.
Our Goodbyes
We are sad to see some folks leave but happy for them as they move to different opportunities. We say good bye to Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Heffernan, Mrs. Wilts, Ms. Ford and Mrs. Hakkers as their long term assignments are coming to an end and Mr. Schneider who has been transferred to Shakespeare PS. Mrs. Coombs will also be leaving the PitStop classroom for a new assignment and Mrs. Reid and Mrs. Glavin are spending the year with their family. We thank each of these fantastic educators for their care and commitment to their students.

Calling All School Books!
As teachers complete year end activities and work to inventory the textbooks and classroom novels and resources, we are noticing that a significant number of books are unaccounted for. We are asking for your help to check thoroughly at home for texts and other books that are the property of the school. Please have your child assist you by looking on shelves, under the bed or couch, and other places where books love to hide. Thank you for your efforts. We accept all CPS books and resources, with gratitude and no questions asked!
School Supplies For September
