Read Across America

Read Across America Day Flier

Next Thursday March 6, Clermont will celebrate Read Across America. Students are encouraged to wear a shirt with school appropriate words that others can read. They should also bring a book to read independently as our school will drop everything and read. We can’t wait to read with you!


Kindergarten Registration & Orientation

It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!

 Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Registering your child early helps us prepare and ensure we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school. 

Families should prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms on the FCPS kindergarten registration webpage. FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, visit the kindergarten registration webpage

If you have questions about kindergarten registration please contact Katie Simmons at kesimmons@fcps.edu

Kindergarten Orientation March 19th

If your child will be joining Clermont for Kindergarten in the fall, please join us  on March 19th for Kindergarten Orientation. Doors will open at 4:30 pm, and Orientation will begin at 5:00 pm. Your rising kindergarten student is encouraged to join you! (Parents should be prepared to show a valid ID upon entry.)
