During the summer, the YMCA and Clairton Elementary partnered together for a pilot program called "Y Readers" for students entering first and second grade. The program is funded by a $30,000 grant provided by the YMCA. Clairton is one of 40 schools in the nation to receive this grant. The program is a four-block model, which consists of guided reading, writing, working with words and self-selected reading. In the afternoon there are enrichment activities, which include physical education, character education, art and music. Y Readers are also growing caterpillars into butterflies and they have went on several enrichment fields trips.

New for 2013-2014 School Year: In order to provide additional safety measures for our students and the community, we ask that all Elementary students being picked up after school in a motor vehicle are picked up at the rear entrance of the school on Large Avenue.

Students should still be picked up at the main Elementary entrance for individual early dismissals, emergency early dismissals, etc.
