BACK TO SCHOOL TIP!

We know that drop-off and pick-up expectations can be confusing, especially if this will be your child's first year in a new building!

The maps below were created to help alleviate any confusion and to ensure the safety of our Cardinals. We ask that parents refer to the maps below to learn about entrances and exits at each building and where "bus only" lanes are located. Please call your child’s school with any questions.

CIS-https://bit.ly/3lfavON
CMS-https://bit.ly/3aVltnL
CHS-https://bit.ly/3le1SUG

Some things to note:
*Please ensure that your child has their face covering on prior to exiting your vehicle.

*Parents are asked to not walk their children into school or enter the building at the end of the day to pick-up their children and are to only use the car rider locations located on the maps above. Staff will be located at each entrance and throughout the building to assist students.

*Doors will not open at each building until the following times:
CECC-7:30 (Head Start), 7:55 (AM and Full Day Classes) and 11:55 (PM Classes)

Are you ready to meet your teacher and see your classroom? We can't wait to share this with you! Keep an eye out for an email from your teacher on Tuesday, August 24th. We will also be sharing links on Facebook tomorrow, August 24th, at 8 am.

During the past week, Mrs. Vaughn has met with all the 5th graders about middle school and their schedules for next year. Parents be on the lookout for a paper about schedules. We need these papers back by March 2.

CIS 3-5 Grade students have been exploring careers in several different ways. One resource we use when we have a few minutes is this website with career videos. It's a good site to learn all about all kinds of career options.

Parents just some reminders. I personally resorted to putting all my clean masks in a ziplock in my work bag to keep them all together, might be handy for backpacks too.

We've missed you Cardinals, and are excited to see you tomorrow!

We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable break and are ready to rock 2nd semester.

Before you leave the house in the morning, don't forget these three important things:
*Complete your daily health screening (checklist found here-https://clintoncardinals.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_4285567/Image/District/Return%20to%20Learn/daily%20symptom%20checklist%20(1).pdf)
*Grab your mask
*Don't forget that water bottle

Red Ribbon Week!

FRIENDLY REMINDER

We received a few questions from parents, asking if we have school on Monday. YES, next week is a 5-day week.

The original school calendar listed Monday as a Professional Development Day, but the calendar was amended at the July 27th Board of Education Meeting. The amended calendar is below. You can also find a printable version at this link: https://bit.ly/335ifMp

Have a great and safe weekend, Cardinals.

SEE YOU MONDAY!

Keeping our kids (and staff) safe at school is top priority!

Noodle wanted to help so I created a rap for him along with some important safety rules, and Boys Town Press brought it to life with this fun video! Click here to download the video and a FREE activity packet! Also, feel free to share this rap with your school! ❤️

If you would like for your child to participate in Virtual Learning during the first semester, we ask that you complete the form below by August 8th. This deadline will allow school staff time to work with your child, you and Launch to ensure that your child is enrolled in the appropriate courses for their grade level and interests

VIRTUAL LEARNING ENROLLMENT FORM: https://forms.gle/RMJHkZFPCkskP1bo6

The District has developed a Virtual Learning FAQ document that can be viewed on our website: https://clintoncardinals.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=4285651&pageId=27254821.

SUMMER SCHOOL SAFETY SERIES

As the world around has changed over the past few months, it is important for the Clinton School District to follow the guidance of local, state and national health officials to protect the safety of our students and staff, and to also do our part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The guidance and advice we receive has led us to make some changes to our Summer School daily operations.

During the next few weeks, the District will be sharing some of the safety protocols and plans that are being used during Summer School. The plan is evolving daily, so please stay up-to-date by following our social media pages, and District website, www.clintoncardinals.org.

GENERAL SUMMER SCHOOL INFO:
Face-to-face summer school will be offered this year June 15-July 10 for students entering kindergarten-5th grade. Online options are available for CMS and CHS students and will be held June 3rd-last week of June (please contact CMS/CHS for more info). Students attending face-to-face summer school MUST BE ENROLLED BY JUNE 1ST to participate.
ENROLLMENT FORM: https://forms.gle/9gQTryoY4CAfMqgG9

SMALL CLASS SIZES:
One of the safety precautions the District is putting in place is to limit the number of students in a classroom. This year, classrooms will be limited to 12 students. Because of these smaller class sizes, it is very important that all parents enroll their children ASAP to help the District secure enough teachers. The District will also be utilizing all school buildings to help with social distancing.

CORE INSTRUCTION FOCUS:
The focus of this year’s Summer School curriculum will be on what students missed out on from not being in school during the 4th quarter. We are hopeful that this core instruction focus and smaller class sizes will help prepare our students with the skills they need to begin the new school year in August.

NEXT WEEK’S SUMMER SCHOOL SAFETY SERIES:
The District will go into detail about the changes being made to facilities to enhance the safety of our students and staff.

Class of 2027 good luck at CMS!

Happy Official Last Day of School! We want to say Good Luck & “See ya Later” to our 5th grade Class of 2027! We wish we were together to hug & tell you in person how proud we are of all of you. Thanks for the fun & memories, you will be missed!

Summer school information.

Summer School 2020: Around the World in 20 Days Summer School will be held June 15-July 10 (8:00-2:30) for students going into kindergarten-5th grade this coming school year (more information will be forthcoming from CMS and CHS regarding virtual summer school opportunities). If you are interested in your child attending, please complete the form...

5th grade parents:
Generally we do a lesson on those testy locker combinations that the students will have next year at CMS. Unfortunately, we didn't get that done before spring break. There are a lot of YouTube videos that explain how to work them. If you have one for them to practice that would be even better just to get the feel. Here's one example video - https://images.app.goo.gl/4pwgjpAgsFamrxVN8

Fantastic book to explain grief to children. Great analogy kids tend to get.

Tune in tomorrow at 9am CST for a live reading. Grief is like a snowflake. Sometimes it comes one flake at a time. Other times, it comes like a blizzard. It always melts but it always comes back. ❤️

Gotta rave on kids/family in Clinton. Not sure who was doing this, but kudos. If anyone knows what kids it was tell them I am loving it! Way to help your neighbors!

Build your hope today! Stay lit!❤️Pass it on

Words cannot express how much I'd love to stress this with all the families with children everywhere. Take care of those babies until we can help you with them when school resumes. We will be geared up and ready, and the classroom teachers need them ready to learn more than ever.

This!
