A Note From Mr. Witherspoon:

I think that Fall is here to stay and, fingers crossed, will be here for a while!  Thank you to those of you that were able to come and spend some time with our teachers to discuss the strengths and challenges of your child(ren)!  I was able to meet many of you and, again, overwhelmed with the support and kind words that you shared with me regarding Cleveland!  Please, if you didn't have a chance to meet with your child's teacher, feel free to reach out and meet in the next couple weeks.  

Mentor Groups have been a tradition at Cleveland in the past and, though it may be modified a little, we are going to begin to hold these again.  This is a time for students to connect with an adult in the building, other than their classroom teacher, to talk about character traits and/or any other topics that help increase their success as a person and student.  The meetings will take place on the 1st Tuesday of each month; however, since classes will not be in session on November 6, our first session will be on November 13.  

Thursday night is a very exciting time as the PTA is sponsoring a Halloween Activity Night at Cleveland!    The night is going to be filled with fun times and a way to connect with one another; these types of events are what make a school into a learning community!  This is an event for Cleveland students and their families only. Also, all children have to be accompanied by an adult. Thank you PTA!

Lastly, communication is a crucial part to success.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, compliments (we love these 😊), and/or concerns.  

I am wishing you a wonderful weekend and an even better week to come...may your team win!  

Arrival and Dismissal Reminders:

Please remember that the curb drop-off area is for families to drop off their child(ren) and continue on with their day. Please utilize the parking areas if you choose to walk your child(ren) up to the designated entry/exit doors. We are aware that this may be an slight inconvenience, however, it is a small price to pay for the safety of our children.

Early dismissal is sometimes unavoidable and we completely understand that. However, in efforts to maximize learning, we will notify the classroom teacher (feel free to email the teacher as well) of the plan and, when you arrive, we will have your student come to the office. Thank you for your understanding!
