Hello CES families!
All of you should have received (or soon will receive) a permission slip for your child to be allowed to interact with a medically and behaviorally screened dog from the University of Tennessee’s H.A.B.I.T. program.
While the H.A.B.I.T. team will visit only one classroom at a time each week, we want to be aware of any student allergies or aversions in the building so that we can set appropriate boundaries and make this experience a success for our whole school community!
If you have questions, please reach out to billingsa@clintonschools.org.
