Transitioning from 5th grade to middle school marks a significant milestone in a student's academic journey. It introduces them to new environments, expectations, and opportunities for growth. Visiting feeder schools such as Earhart and Clippert can play a vital role in facilitating this transition. These visits offer students the chance to familiarize themselves with the layout of the school, meet future teachers and classmates, and gain insights into the academic and extracurricular offerings. By participating in orientation programs and exploring the facilities, students can build confidence and ease any anxieties they may have about the transition process.

Every year the PTA hosts multiple family dances to give our families an opportunity to show off their dancing skills and just have fun. It's important for us to provide quality time for families outside of the academic world.

March is reading month!!! In March we will celebrate reading with different events and activities all month. We hope that this will encourage students and families to read and understand the importance of reading. 

In Kindergarten Transition, teachers help children develop social skills through activities that build confidence and communication. They also expose children to reading and math in an exciting, interactive way by using educational games to teach children about words and sentences and help them understand mathematical concepts like counting and patterns.

Every year the Detroit Fire Department teaches our students about the importance of fire safety. 

K-2 students participate in different activities celebrating the 100th day of school! Activities include 100th day shirt, 100 item snack, 100 beaded necklace, decorating a poster with 100 items, and many more! The 100th day ends with a parade through the school, parents are encouraged to attend. 

Every year, sometimes twice a year, Clemente hosts a Spirit Week for students and staff. Everyone is encouraged to have a little fun by having Backwards Day, Twin Day, Ugly Sweater Day and more. 

In the winter all DPSCD fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders participate in Spelling Bees at their schools.  Five finalists from each of our fifth grade classrooms will compete to be our school winner.

Once a year, Clemente students participate in a school-wide Math Bee. Student compete against their grade level classmates in math basic facts.

All grade levels will attend educational field trips that support their academic and cultural development. Teachers coordinate outings based on the curriculum content outlined by the district. Students are enriched through the inclusion of carefully planned field trips.  Field trips expand the curriculum and strengthen observational skills by immersing children into sensory activities and increases children's knowledge in a particular subject area.  Firsthand experience can provide children with information and a level of understanding that adds elements of realism to their play and enriches their overall learning.  When students visit different educational facilities, they learn in a more hands-on and interactive manner than they do in school. 

Field Day is an end of the year event sponsored by the PTA.  It is a fun-filled event that gives all students the chance to celebrate the school year coming to an end, show class pride and spend a day being active. 

This is an event that is sponsored by the PTA  Group and the department of Parent Engagement. This event takes place in our school's parking lot. It gives students, families, and the community the opportunity to safely trick or treat. Students may wear their costumes to this event. 

To celebrate Black History month, students research different black history figures and events. At the end of the month, students and/or classes present a performance or report.
