From the Head of School
Happy First Day of School!
Dear Clairbourn Families,
Happy First Day of School!
Thank you for your patience this morning in the parking lot. Because it was the first day of school, many families did not have their Magnus App downloaded and ready, and many parents got out of the cars to walk their children to the gate. This caused quite a bit of challenge in the parking lot. But tomorrow will be better if all families follow the following directions:
| 01 |
Fill out your Magnus DAILY on the APP |
| 02 |
Complete the Magnus COVID form AT HOME |
| 03 |
Take a screen shot of the GREEN GO screen
so you don't have to log in again at school. |
| 04 |
DO NOT GET OUT of your car unless you
have a preschool student. |
| 05 |
The Magnus screen shot will be checked and
temperature taken in the vehicle.
|
| 06 |
Have your student READY to EXIT the car
so the process can be quick. (Shoes on,
backpack ready, items already collected.) |
|
DO NOT COME EARLY FOR AFTERNOON PICK-UP
PLEASE COME AT YOUR OLDEST CHILD'S TIME
(except for preschool)
|
Following these instructions will speed things tremendously and make for a smooth start of the day!
 Even with the congestion in the parking lot, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed seeing each of the students this morning coming onto campus. The smiles were evident, even through the masks. The faculty and staff were prepared to greet the students and get them all settled into their classes ready for a great day of learning. We had our first Morning Assembly of the year presented by our Student Council. They did a great job and we are off to a fantastic start, focusing on our mission, Creating Scholars and Leaders with Heart.
Our K-5 technology classes are being handled by Parker-Anderson. They are known for their high quality after-school classes and summer camps, often focused on STEM. They will focus on coding, digital citizenship, and other creative and engaging technology-based activities. We are excited for this expanding partnership.
Some of you have asked about the COVID testing done on campus to pre-screen the year. I am pleased to report, we were 100% negative. The weekly testing will continue to promote a healthy environment on campus.
 Tomorrow is Clairbourn Shirt Day! All students should have received a blue Clairbourn shirt to wear on alternating Fridays. Check the school calendar for specific dates. If the shirt isn't a comfortable size for your child, we have others and will happily exchange it for one that fits better. Just let your teacher know.
Thanks to all of the teachers for the preparation for this school year. Thanks to the families for supporting our school. Together, we will have a great year. Together, we are Clairbourn!

Back-to-School Welcome From Student Council
Welcome back to students, teachers, and families! We are the Student Council officers for 2021-2022: President Marcel Z., Vice President William B., Secretary Hannah B., Treasurer Arthur Z., and Curator/Historian Michael Y.
There are a lot of exciting possibilities this year and there are also a lot of responsibilities to keep us safe. A reminder from Student Council to everyone: Wear your mask, keep a safe distance, and follow directions. It’s time to get back into the school routine: get ready to study and always do your best, be a good friend, and welcome new students. We’re ready to start a new school year.
Wearing your mask, doing your best, and being a good friend are all ways we show heart. We go to Clairbourn School to learn, but that’s not all. We are here to celebrate together when good things happen, and to support each other when times are tough. That’s why we say we are creating Scholars and Leaders with Heart. Last year, we showed heart when we were patient with our teachers when technology didn’t always work and when we celebrated birthdays with car parades. We have all been through a lot of changes over the past year and a half, and we are grateful we can all be back together at school in person this year. We can show heart by remembering our responsibilities to keep each other safe. We are stronger together!
We would like to extend a special welcome to all the Kindergarteners, who are the Clairbourn class of 2030, and to all the new students in all the grades. Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to people and make new friends. Student Council has lots of fun activities planned for this year, like spirit days and more fundraisers to help people in our community and around the world. As we start a new school year, we want to encourage you to step up to new challenges and to always work on being Scholars and Leaders with Heart.
