If you have recommendation forms to be filled out for private schools, please be sure to include an addressed envelope, and a sticky note on the form with the due date for each form clearly marked.  We want to be sure that we give each form the time and attention needed, and have them arrive in at timely fashion at their destination.  There is no charge for the first two forms per child, and it is $25 per form after that.

Please check the Lost and Found Basket in the office; it is overflowing with jackets, hats, and other items.  Again, we ask that you put your child’s name in their clothes, so that we can be sure that all items make it home again.

Just a reminder that the school health policy states that children must be healthy in order to attend to school.  Please keep your child home if he or she has heavy cold symptoms, a fever, sore throat, or vomiting.  Your child must be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school.  Remember that not only will your child be unable to reap the benefits of his or her time in school if they are unwell, but they are more susceptible to other germs when their immune system is weaker.  It is every families’ responsibility to help keep our community healthy!
 
Weather Policy:
If the Alexandria City Schools are closed due to weather or an emergency, Saint Clement Episcopal School will be closed.  If the Alexandria City Schools close two hours early, we will close at 1 p.m.  If the City Schools have a delayed opening (one or two hours), we will do our best to open at 10 a.m.  Please confirm our status on bad weather or other emergency days by calling the school for information.  The school director will update the school’s voice mail message by 7 am.  We do not have snow make up days.
