Good Evening Clayton Park Families,

Grade 7 Immunizations

Grade 7 immunizations will take place tomorrow, Tuesday November 8th.  A reminder for students to have a healthy breakfast which helps ease some of the anxious feelings students may have.

Remembrance Day

The Remembrance Day Observance will be Thursday, November 10th.   Students are encouraged to wear a poppy.

School Clothing Order

Clayton Park Junior High is offering families and students the opportunity to purchase school clothing. The link to order clothing is :

School Clothing Link

The link is also on the school’s website. The last day to purchase school clothing will be November 21st.

Notification of Absences

This is a reminder for parents/guardians that there is a new School Messenger Safe Arrivals Process for reporting student absences.  Please see the attachment for the three options available which include a new phone line, a SchoolMessenger app and SchoolMessenger through PowerSchool.

Please see the attached document for support with this. 

Important things to note:

The old Safe Arrivals phone line is no longer used, so please do not leave messages on that line. SchoolMessenger will only accept notifications for full day absences. If the student plans to be out for part of the morning only, please report it for the full day and we will make the correction at the school when the student arrives.
It is not necessary to call the school if you have already reported the absence via one of the options noted above.
Student of the Month

At CPJH the staff and administration are committed to establishing and maintaining a welcoming and safe school community that values the academic and personal growth of all students. At Clayton Park we have a number of students we would like to recognize each month who actively contribute to this goal.

The Student of the Month is:

• Respectful to students and staff
• Respects school routines and expectations
• Demonstrates positive character through their honesty, compassion, kindness, cooperation and gratitude toward others
• Works to the best of their ability, is diligent, prepared and committed to learn
• Shows progress and growth in learning and character
• Shows accountability and takes responsibility for their learning and their actions
• Demonstrates good sportsmanship and citizenship
• The staff and administration would like to thank our September and October Students of The Month for helping to make CPJH a great school and the adults in their lives who have helped to instill and nurture qualities of citizenship, adding value to our school community.

Water Bottles

Students are reminded to bring a water bottle with them as, there is no access to water fountains.  We have water bottle refill stations for students to fill their water bottle up throughout the day.
