Math Night (Grades 1 & 2) is Tuesday, January 31, at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria.
Math Night will give our students the opportunity to engage in math activities, using fun learning experiences and games. These experiences inspire students’ interest in math, help them understand math concepts, promote STEM literacy, and empower families to support their children’s success in math.

 The Lunar New Year is a holiday that marks the first new moon of the lunisolar calendar, which is the calendar traditionally used in many east Asian countries including China, Vietnam, Singapore, and South Korea. In these and other Asian countries, it is one of the most important holidays of the year. The Lunar New Year is all about ushering in luck and prosperity with family.Read more about Lunar New Year and its animal symbols in National Geographic Kids.

 Clermont students find their zen during yoga drumming this week.
Each year, nearly 5% of youth experience school refusal. This refers to a child refusing to go to school on a regular basis or remain in school throughout the day due to significant emotional distress. School refusal includes kindergarten students with relatively mild separation anxiety and more severe cases where a student misses weeks or months of school because of debilitating anxiety or depression. See how to get your child back to school in the Healthy Minds Blog or learn more about attendance policies.
