Clinton Community School District - River Kings and Queens

18 CMS students traveled to Central DeWitt last week for an inspiring presentation by award-winning author and illustrator LeUyen Pham! 📚 She shared why reading is so meaningful to her, how it has shaped her journey, and gave students a look into her artistic process. She also highlighted the importance and impact of graphic novels.

CCSD Early Childhood Celebration! See details attached.

We ask that you RSVP to your child's preschool teacher or by emailing Alison Petersen at alison.petersen@csdkq.org.

CCSD has received the Shared Visions Grant! This opportunity is available to families with children who will be ages 3 or 4 by September 15, 2026, and who meet At-Risk criteria.

If you are interested in enrolling your child(ren) in this new full-day preschool program, please watch for a survey link that will be sent via Messenger by Tuesday, April 7.

Full-day preschool will be offered at Bluff and Jefferson Elementary schools. Please note that space is limited, and students will be selected through a committee review process. If your child is not selected, CCSD will continue to offer free half-day preschool for 4-year-olds at Prince of Peace, Zion, Eagle Heights, YWCA Downtown and Lyons campuses, and Stay-N-Play.

Children who are age 4 by September 15, 2026, may enroll at one of these locations. Registration for all 2026-2027 CCSD students will be opening soon!

Reminder: No school tomorrow (April 3) as we honor Good Friday

Outdoor time + painting = a beautiful day to learn and grow! 🌿🎨📚 #CCSDStudents

We are grateful to the Wilsons for allowing our #CCSDStudents to visit and see firsthand how a working farm operates! 🚜

Talent show prep is in full swing 🤩 If your Friday night is still open, come cheer on our Eagle Heights #CCSDStudents as they take the stage at the Eagle Heights Talent Show at 6:00 PM!

🐣 Sweet moments from just before spring break! #CCSDStudents were excited to watch their chicks begin hatching and see the life cycle come to life right in their classroom.

Spring break ✔️ Back with friends ✔️ Ready to learn ✔️ This photo may be blurry, but it’s too good not to share! 😊 Let's have a great week, CCSD! ❤️🖤
