TO THE PARENT
We are pleased that you and your child are a part of our Before and After School Enrichment Program, Campus Club. Campus Club is offered     through     the     Clovis     Unified     School     District     Child Development Department and provides your child with a whole-some, caring and enriching activity program.

Campus Club operates on the premise that each child is unique and deserves the opportunity to develop at his/her own rate. Children should be given meaningful experiences that enable them to be-come responsible persons. We believe learning activities should acknowledge the cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the children and community.

STUDENT BEHAVIOR
