Clemente Family Update 5/31/2021
|
|
Our school year is winding down, and I’m sure that you and your children are looking forward to the summer break. But planning is already well underway for the fall, and we need your partnership to make our vision for next school year a success.
|
Please take a few minutes now to complete the Fall 2021 Survey at cps.edu/FamilySurvey; it is also available in Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Urdu, and Arabic. CPS will be welcoming students back to the classroom five days a week, and we need your feedback to help shape what next school year will look like. This survey is completely anonymous, and responses need to be submitted by Friday, June 18.
|
Keeping your children healthy and safe is always our top priority, so we want to know what steps (masks, social distancing, etc.) will be most important to you moving forward. This survey will also help the district understand how we can better support you, and will let us know how you would prefer to receive updates (email, social media, etc.) as plans for the new school year continue.
|
This survey is not an opt-in form for in-person learning. It is just a tool to help us check in with families as we make plans for the new school year. The vast majority of CPS students WILL attend school in person this fall, but CPS is working on a remote learning option for children who cannot return due to medical reasons. More information on this plan will be shared with families soon.
|
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. As always, I invite you to contact me directly with any questions or concerns.

With the 2000-2021 school year coming to a close, freshmen were polled and asked what advice they would give to next year’s incoming freshman class at Clemente. Here were some of the student responses:
|
|
“ Do your work when it’s assigned so you don’t have to play catch up!!! ”
|
|
“ Ask for help when you need it….before you’re drowning…”
|
|
“ Make many new friends!!! “
|
|
“ Try out for a sport or club...great way to make new friends “
|
|
“ Talk to the teachers..”
|
“ Learn something new every day “
|
|

This school year was weird. There’s no other word that can best describe this school year, mainly because of remote learning. Some of us were not used to it because it’s so much different than being at school in person. The things I dislike about remote learning is that even though you get less work, it’s easier to get confused. I learn better when the teacher explains things in person. Not to mention the anxiety of turning on your camera and people seeing inside your house. It is also stressful when you start falling behind on your assignments.
|
Although I am not a fan of remote learning, there were many things I liked about this year. I was lucky to have teachers that were willing to help out as much as they could. We also did some fun things this year. I especially like the two Pride Days we had. They relieved some of the stress by just having fun at school. I also liked when teachers assigned projects and when they had interesting classes where we could express our opinions and debate in class.
|
Overall, this year had its positives and negatives, but I definitely look forward to coming back to the building next year. I can’t believe that we will be sophomores and will be getting lost in school because we weren’t in the building this year. Lol.

We hope you’re getting excited about HALF-CAP, a celebration just for sophomores to celebrate you reaching the halfway mark to graduation! There will be a virtual ceremony and an in-person party will happen after school that day. Students will be given awards, give speeches, and play games to commemorate this important milestone. We look forward to seeing and celebrating you!
