Back to School Reminder!

Greetings Clipper Family,

As a reminder, our district is moving toward a paperless process this school year. As we get ready to welcome our students back, please take a few minutes to complete your child’s back to school paperwork online, if you have not already done so.

These forms provide us with important information we need for the school year, including emergency contacts, medical information, and permissions. Having this information updated before the first day of school helps us keep our records accurate and ensures we are prepared to support your child.

Please click the link below to access the forms, or visit our district website and navigate to the Parent & Student Resources section to complete the required forms.

Thank you for taking care of this important step as we get ready for another great school year!

We can’t wait to see our students soon!

Stay healthy and safe,

Matt Slater
Principal
Clayton High School
