Principals' Message

Dear CLCS Families,

Bike, Scooter, & Walker Safety

As more and more students transition back to walking or riding to school, please remind your students about the importance of stopping and looking both ways before crossing any street. Additionally, we’re asking students and parents to slow down and then walk their bikes or scooters as they approach our entrances so that we can safely share the sidewalks and walkways.

Multicultural Fair Night

Save the Date: On May 21 (6-8 PM), we will host our Multicultural Fair Night. You, your family and/or a group of families are welcome to showcase your cultural heritage. If you’d like to showcase your family’s culture, click here to register to participate.

All families are welcome to attend and participate in the activities to learn about and celebrate other cultures without having a booth or table set up.

ABC Countdown starts next week. Here’s what our Student Council came up with!
