Clinton Community School District - River Kings and Queens

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. Today, we'd like to share Katelyn Berg:

Whittier is proud of 4th Grade Teacher Sarah Shepherd, who was selected as a state-wide mentor for Computer Science implementation! Sarah was a key leader in Whittier's efforts to implement Computer Science, and she will no doubt benefit districts across the state with her experience and expertise! #CCSDGoodNews

Stopping by our elementary schools and seeing the young, hard-at-work, smiling faces always makes our day! #CCSDGoodNews #CCSDElementary #CCSDStudents

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!

Last week, the CMS 7th Grade Black Team created their Social Contract. They had to communicate which words they felt should be on it and why. Great conversations to listen to!
