Clinton Community School District - River Kings and Queens

Today, CCSD had Vision of the District at Rastrelli’s to cover some important and exciting topics. This photo shows CHS Synergy students presenting past and upcoming projects! It was a great time for staff and community members to socialize and talk about the district. ❤️🖤 #CCSDGoodNews

#CCSDHOCO2022 | Dress Up Days Announced!

This year, we plan to do CCSD Staff Spotlights! We want to share our #CCSDFamily with you because they're all pretty awesome! We are kicking off with Cy - 50 years with CCSD. Here's what CCSD Plant Services Director, Paul Dotterweich, has to say about him: "While I haven't worked with Cy as much as the guys on the grounds crew, he always has the most interesting information about the history of our Plant Services department. Over the years Cy has done everything that has been asked of him and more. Times when I've wondered how we've done things in the past, he has always explained the process like a historian would. He's been here for so long that he remembers throwing salt out of the back of a pickup truck with a shovel in order to salt the parking lots. Cy is just around one of the nicest people on earth and the district is lucky to have him for so long. I truly believe that the reason Cy has been here for so long is his love for the district and the brotherly comradery with his coworkers. I know over the years, Cy has quietly expressed his pride for Friday night home football games! In the past, his grounds coworkers would recognize his excitement for these Friday night games by referring to them as "CYDAY night lights". Cy rarely misses a day of work and annually has to be reminded that he has vacation days to use up." #CCSDStaffSpotlight

Let's highlight the Teacher and Paraeducator Registered Apprenticeship (TPRA) Grant Program! Have you heard of it?! The grant program will provide opportunities for paraeducators to earn their bachelor's degree (covered by the state) all while learning and working in the classroom. The program began in the 2022-2023 school year. The Adult-->Para Track is to be done at Eastern Iowa Community College and the Para-->Teacher Track at St. Ambrose, Upper Iowa or William Penn. We want to showcase the current CCSD candidates that were chosen for this program. They are all working very hard, performing their paraeducator job duties while earning their degree. All CCSD paraeducators are truly valued! They provide a great service to their colleagues and students and we appreciate each of them. Last but not least, we'd like to share Sherami Kenworthy:

Whittier is proud of 4th Grade Teacher Sarah Shepherd, who was selected as a state-wide mentor for Computer Science implementation!

From Jefferson Elementary Clinton, IA Facebook page: Look what we have going on here! How do we get kids excited to learn? First, we write on the floor. Second, we sprinkle in some computer science with coding. Then third, we work on essential skills that transfer to the next unit, grade and life! Great job Mrs. Specht's 2nd Grade!
