Cloverly Elementary School

Reporting Student Absences

When your child is absent from school, please report the absence to the school. There are three ways to report an absence.

1. Call the school at 626-548-5092 to leave a message or speak with office staff.
2. Write a note and send it to school on the day that the child returns to school and give to the teacher.
3. Email Cloverly at cloverly@tcusd.net Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Heath will check email.

When parents or guardians report the absence, please make sure to include the student's first and last name, the student's homeroom number, and the reason for the absence. 

Cloverly Elementary School Birthday Treat Policy

At Cloverly Elementary, we love celebrating our students’ special days! To ensure that classroom learning remains uninterrupted while still allowing students (if they wish) to share a small treat with their classmates, we have established the following birthday treat guidelines:

• No Birthday Parties in Class – Classroom time will not be used for birthday celebrations, decorations, or party activities.
   
• Small, Individual Treats Only – If students would like to, students may bring a small treat, such as a mini cupcake or a cookie, to share with their classmates. No treat bags, drinks, or large items will be permitted.
   
• Independent Distribution – Treats must be passed out by the birthday child during recess or afterschool without teacher or adult assistance.
   
• Allergy Awareness – Parents are encouraged to consider food allergies when selecting treats and may check with the teacher in advance regarding any classroom allergy concerns. All items should be store-bought, not homemade.
   

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping birthday celebrations simple, fun, and respectful of our learning environment

Cloverly Homework Policy

(Based on the TCUSD Home Study Policy)

Homework or Home Study time is a consistent time set aside after each school day in which the student practices, applies, extends, enriches, and discusses the learning which has occurred in the classroom.  Homework should reflect to the parents the daily instruction taking place in the classroom and the skills and standards that are being covered in the curriculum.  

4^th Grade

• 20 – 30 minutes of Reading
• 40 – 50 minutes of homework assignments: including studying for quizzes & tests

5^th Grade

• 20 – 30 minutes of Reading
• 50 – 60 minutes of homework assignments: including studying for quizzes & tests

6^th Grade

Make-Up Work​​​​​​​

Students who miss school due to an excused absence will be given the opportunity to complete assignments and tests.  The amount of time given for make-up work to be turned in is equal to the total days absent or teacher discretion. 

Questions or Challenges

Parents are encouraged to arrange a meeting with the classroom teachers if there are any questions or challenges that their student is facing with homework completion. 

In an effort to keep our students safe, please adhere to the following guidelines. Students may arrive at school no earlier than 8:00am. The gates will open at 8:10am. *If your child would like to have school breakfast, the gate on Cloverly will open at 8:00am; with breakfast from 8:00-8:15am. Please be advised that there is no supervision prior to 8:00am. We do ask that all students, parents, staff, and visitors be sure to use the crosswalks and not J-Walk across the street. Also, please be aware that you may not park in the St. Luke's Parking lot at any time. Make sure you allot enough time to make it through the traffic before the tardy bell rings at 8:25am.

*Cloverly is a Closed Campus. Therefore, for the Safety & Wellbeing of our Students & Staff, Parents are Not Allowed on Campus (unless volunteering).
