2013 Registration Q & A
Welcome to Clemson Elementary School!
5th grade return delayed
Because of heavy traffic the 5th graders will not return from Washington until between midnight and 1:00 AM. We apologize for the delay, but it was unavoidable.
Save the Date!
On May 26, Clemson Elementary will host "Dr. Weichel Day" to honor Dr. Weichel for his years of service to Clemson Elementary and Pickens County. The event will begin at 2:00 p.m. and the community is invited to attend.
Car Rider Hang Tag Return
All car rider hang tags should be returned at the end of the school year. You should return your hang tags on the last day that you pick up your student(s). As you drive through the line for the last time, please give your hang tag to the person on microphone duty. Each year we will reissue car hang tags so we can reuse these. Thanks!!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations to Barry Burnett, fifth grade teacher for being our newly elected Teacher of the Year! Also, congratulations to Patsy Cantrell, secretary, for being our Support Employee of the Year. To be recognized by your peers is always an exceptional honor. The faculty and staff recognize these two as outstanding in their fields of service. Congratulations to them for this well-deserved and well-earned honor!
Lunch Menu
The lunch menu for this month features salads created by two of our students. On May 10, students will sample Jeremy Sarasua's Healthy Salad Black Bean Splash. On May 29, the cafeteria will serve Lauren Sudduth's Healthy Grape Salad. We are excited to have two up and coming chefs in our school. Looking forward to tasting their creations!

Clemson Elementary - Gold Level Achievement
The South Carolina Department of Education has revealed the winners of the 2012-2013 Palmetto Gold and Silver Awards recognizing 17 Pickens County schools for high academic achievement and high rates of improvement. It is with great excitement that we announce that Clemson Elementary was recognized for General Performance and Closing the Achievement Gap. Clemson Elementary received GOLD in both categories, the only school in Pickens County to receive this honor. Congratulations to students, teachers, and parents for this award!
Library Books
Please make sure all library books are turned in by May 17. There will be a book swap for students May 13-May 24. If a student wants to swap books, he or she should bring one from home. The AR Store will be open from May 28-May 31. Students may shop from 8:15-2:30.
Parties and Nut Free Products
There are many students in our school with allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. These allergies can be life-threatenng for these students. For this reason, it is important to consider foods sent in for parties that contain or have been processed with peanuts or tree nuts. If your classroom has a child with a nut allergy, please consider sending food items from the accepted list. These include oreo cookies, popsicles, Mayfield chocolate or vanilla ice cream cups, Rice Krispie treats, Papa John's pizza, or Krispy Kreme white powdered doughnuts. The only way to be absolutely sure a food item is nut free is to read the label. If you send items other than those listed, please make sure they are in the original packaging, so the label can be checked. Foods that we are unsure of will not be allowed in the classroom. This is for the safety of all children and we thank you for your cooperation!
Buck-a-Book results
The first grade Buck-a-Book results are in and we have set a record. Over $1650 was raised for and sent to Clemson Community Care. This breaks our old record by $300! Congratulations to all our first grade readers and thank you to the many parents, grandparents and community members who listened to some wonderful readers.
