Parents, Guardians, and Families, 

Welcome to Cler-Mont Elementary and to the 2024-2025 school year!  I am Ryan Souza, the principal at Cler-Mont Elementary.  With such rich traditions and values, Cler-Mont is an exceptional environment for our kids to develop as leaders, both inside and outside of the classroom.  My greatest priority is to ensure our students receive necessary support in order to feel success and thrive at Cler-Mont Elementary.     

Our goal for education focuses around students becoming self-aware, career ready, and a contributing citizen.  At Cler-Mont, we recognize the value of each student's individuality, thinking, and ideas.  We are driven to create opportunities for students to collaborate with their peers, learn to communicate effectively, and to think critically about the content they are learning.

The Cler-Mont team is thrilled to partner with you to create the best possible learning environment for your child.  As always, please contact us at 816-650-7350 if you have any questions about the 2024-2025 school year.  

All the best, 

Dr. Ryan Souza
Cler-Mont Elementary Principal
