We cordially invite you to attend our annual “Back to School Night” on Thursday, September 19^th, the doors will open at 6:30 pm. at which time you will go directly to your child’s Homeroom/1^st period class. The night will begin at 6:45 pm with a brief welcome message.  In class, you will receive a copy of your child’s schedule, course syllabus, and a school map.

This is a very important event for your child and the faculty at Clayton Middle School. Back-to-School Night provides an excellent opportunity for you to become acquainted with our facilities and to meet your child’s teachers. It is an opportunity to find out what the expectations, curriculum, classroom procedures, and methods of assessment will be for each course.  Most of all, it allows you to put faces with the names of the people who teach and are involved in your child’s success.

Lunch periods will not be a part of our program but the Café will be offering samples of their food

selections from 6:45 pm to 7:30 pm. Members of our Guidance Department will be available to discuss any questions. Clayton Place and the 21^st Century will also be in the cafeteria to discuss student support services. Please feel free to stop by and speak with them during the evening.

It is our goal to provide your child with a positive and successful educational experience. Please help us to achieve this by attending our “Back to School Night.”  I am looking forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,
