The Plant Services Department is pleased to announce that CCSD qualifies for energy rebates that allow us to upgrade our gym lighting throughout the district. Our staff is in the process of replacing older lighting with new energy efficient high bay LED fixtures. The coverage in the picture looks much better in person!

#CHSRenoUpdate | October 2024
A message from our CCSD Plant Services Dept.:
We are completely moved out of the existing Shops and Music wing at Clinton High. It was a whole department effort that included loading and offloading several moving vans full of boxes and items and trailers of shops equipment. The upper images show the old woods shop and an empty hallway. The lower image shows our existing welding hoods in our new metals space. Classes in our new "S-Wing" will start in October!
Reminder: No school tomorrow (Oct. 18) for Professional Development.
THIS. IS. CLINTON.

Clinton Middle School along with Clinton Police and Fire will be participating in a Run, Hide, Fight DRILL this afternoon with a volunteer parent/child reunification subset. This DRILL will allow students and staff to practice techniques to stay safe in an intruder event.
There may be some temporary road blockages around CMS during the DRILL. CMS will dismiss as usual at 3:35 PM. If your student needs to be excused for anything in the afternoon, like a doctor appointment, please ensure that you pick your student up before Noon. Students will not be dismissed after that. They will need to wait until regular dismissal time.
Thank you for supporting Clinton Community School District.
(Science) Professional Development looks a lot like this:

We would like to remind you about a new law (Senate File 2435) aimed at addressing chronic absenteeism in schools across the state of Iowa. Chronic absenteeism refers to students missing 10% or more of a grading period, which can significantly impact their academic success and overall well-being.
Under this new legislation, schools are required to closely monitor student attendance and take proactive steps to address chronic absenteeism. This includes partnering with families to identify barriers to regular attendance, providing support services, and, if necessary, implementing interventions to help students stay on track.
The goal of this law is not punitive, but to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed by attending school regularly. We believe that with your support and collaboration, we can make a positive difference in the lives of our students.
Clinton Community School District appreciates your partnership in supporting student success and well-being!
