Meet Your Assistant Principal (2nd posting): My name is Dr. Christine Clayman, your Assistant Principal. I
am really excited to be at David M. Cox for my fourth year. I love being an administrator because I get to be
involved with all the students especially at lunch recess, in the Lunch Room, and in their classrooms, I am
also the advisor of the International Club that is open to all 3 rd through 5th grade students. I got into
educational administration because it gives me an opportunity to impact a lot more students and be at the
forefront of working with teachers to provide our students an optimal environment for academic and social
success. I know that together well have a Rocking school year!
