The E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts (CLARA) is excited to continue a formal partnership with Hollywood Park Elementary School. Our pilot year, during the 2017-2018 school year was a huge success! We can’t wait to begin our 7th year with CLARA!!
This partnership was established with Hollywood Park to provide greater arts access to SCUSD students and additional opportunities for arts exposure and integration in the classroom.

Social and emotional learning (SEL) enhances students’ capacity to integrate skills, attitudes, and behaviors to deal effectively and ethically with daily tasks and challenges.
Self-Management = The ability to successfully regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in different situations — effectively managing stress, controlling impulses, and motivating oneself; the ability to set and work toward personal and academic goals.
