A Little About Ourselves

Welcome to Cliftondale Elementary School's Media Center!

 

We have a lot of fantastic information for you!  We have links to information about our wonderful book fairs and important information about what it means to be a responsible digital citizen.  We have Wake-Up Mustangs morning news broadcast, scholars get to inform their peers and staff about the happenings at Cliftondale Elementary!  The bookfair comes twice a year, November and March.  Scholars have the opportunity to buy books from the bookfair, as well as have their parents purchase books from the scholastic book flyer and pay with eWallet. 

 

Digital Citizenship

Cliftondale Elementary School wants all of our scholars to be educated users of technology.  We use the Common Sense Media curiculum to teach scholars how to respect and protect themselves and others online. With the increased use of devices and online resources in all grades, it is vital that our scholars can communicate and collaborate safely online. Parents if you want to learn more about Common Sense Media, please click on the following link: https://www.commonsensemedia.org .
