Sumner Danbury Elementary School

Celebrating Our Heroes: School Nutrition Employee Week - This week, Claremont Unified School District proudly celebrates School Nutrition Employee Week from April 29 to May 3, 2024. During this special week, we recognize the invaluable contributions of our Nutrition Services team, who ensure that our students are well-nourished every day. For some students, the meals provided at school are the most substantial they receive all day, emphasizing the critical role our nutrition team plays in their diets, overall well-being, and ability to learn. Our district is committed to upholding values of excellence, equity, innovation, and integrity, all of which are vividly brought to life by our Nutrition Services team. Each day, they prepare healthy, nutritious meals that meet USDA standards, navigating food allergies and dietary needs with a smile. This dedication is essential in providing a high-quality, relevant educational experience that supports the whole child and their academic success. As we approach School Lunch Hero Day on May 3, we extend our heartfelt thanks to these essential members of the Claremont Unified family. We encourage the entire Claremont community to join us in expressing gratitude for our school nutrition professionals. Here’s to our heroes in the cafeteria – we are grateful for all you do!

🌍💚 Claremont Unified School District Celebrates Dual Honors in Sustainability! 🌍💚 We are thrilled to announce that the Claremont Unified School District has been recognized as a 2024 Green Ribbon Schools Green Achiever! Only five educational institutions receive this award each year. This esteemed state award highlights our dedicated efforts toward innovative and effective environmental practices, including our robust recycling initiatives, energy-saving measures, and vibrant school gardens that enhance both education and sustainability. Building on our state-level accolade, we are equally proud to share that CUSD has also achieved national recognition as a 2024 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School District Sustainability Awardee. This significant honor acknowledges our district-wide commitment to sustainability, focusing on reducing environmental impacts, improving health and wellness, and delivering exemplary environmental education. Our initiatives demonstrate our pledge not just to teach sustainability, but to live it, fostering a culture that respects and protects our planet. These dual recognitions validate the hard work and passion of our students, teachers, staff, and community partners. Together, we are setting a standard for environmental stewardship and education. We are inspired to continue our journey of sustainability and look forward to sharing our ongoing successes with you all. Thank you for your support in achieving these remarkable milestones!

A growing body of research reveals the prevalence of chronic absence and its critical role in student achievement. This research also shows that chronic absence can be addressed when school districts, communities, and policymakers work together to monitor the problem and implement solutions that target the underlying causes.
