Due to the large number of 4th grade staff members that have been quarantined, because of COVID-19 exposure, we will be pivoting the 4th grade to remote learning for the rest of this semester. This semester ends on December 18th, which is the last day of school prior to the Christmas break. Also, please keep your 4th grade students at home on the virtual Friday tomorrow and on December 18th.

Tomorrow, November 6th, is a Blended Friday. Buses will run reduced routes. The afternoon route will begin at 12:10 PM. School will start at the regular time and be open until 3 PM . All students are expected to participate in their virtual classrooms tomorrow.
This Friday, October 30th, will be a district wide Flex Day. Flex Days are intended to be used by staff members needing professional development hours. This is not a virtual day; school will be closed. The Clarksville Football Team will be traveling to Harrison Friday night. Have a great long weekend!
The following changes are ONLY for "Blended Fridays:"
This week will bring our third “Blended Friday.” We originally stated we would run regular bus routes for the first two weeks, in order to determine the number of buses, and bus stops needed to provide for the students electing to come on-site for the blended virtual day. After observing the first two Fridays, we will no longer make door to door bus stops. Instead, the following changes will be made to bus stops, and pick-up and drop-off times.
BLENDED FRIDAY BUS STOPS AND TIMES:
West Part of District—Bus #36 Crosswoods/Kountry Kitchen (Big parking Lot off Hwy. 64)
South/Central Part of District—Bus #39 Clarksville Medical Group (North side parking lot across street, McKennon St.)
Northwest Part of District—Bus #43 U of O Gym (North side of parking lot on Buchanan St.)
Northeast Part of District—Bus #44 Soccer Complex (Parking lot off Hwy. 164 behind Green Source Recycling)
East Part of District—Bus #46 Atwoods (Parking lot off Rogers St.)
The morning bus stop times for ALL locations will be 7:30 a.m.
The afternoon bus stop times for ALL locations will be 12:10 p.m.
Tomorrow, October 9th, will be our first Blended Friday. Students have the choice of staying home and working virtually, or coming to school to work virtually. Buses will run as usual. We do encourage our students to work virtually from home when possible, but if you need to send your child to school that option is also available. Teachers will be utilizing this time to catch-up on lesson preparation and grading.
**You can order meals for Virtual Fridays!!
Meals need to be ordered by 9:00 a.m. Friday and may be picked up at the Junior High in the bus lane at the awning between 11:00 and Noon.

The Clarksville School Board recently approved a change to the district’s Ready for Learning Plan. The change creates a 4+1 blended schedule. This means Monday through Thursday will be school as normal, but Friday will be a blended-virtual, and on-site day. The first blended day will begin Friday, October 9th.
“Blended Fridays” give parents/students the option of learning from home or school. Students who choose to learn from home on Fridays will not be counted absent. Instruction on blended Fridays will be 100% virtual. These are catch-up days for teachers and students: there will be no new content taught or major assessments given.
This change is being made primarily to help ease the burden on our faculty. We have listened and we trust the feedback received from our teachers: the amount of work required with our current model of instruction is not sustainable. Blended Fridays will give teachers protected time for the added tasks that have come with this unusual school year, and are designed to bring relief to everyone: parents, students, and staff. This is a hard time for all of us. We hope this will help.
Meals will be provided to all students that choose to attend school on blended Fridays. Pickup meals will also be provided for virtual students. Buses will continue to run regular routes for the first two blended Fridays. However, starting on October 23rd, bus stops, routes, and times will be changing. We will provide updates on the busing adjustments.

Las escuelas de Clarksville estarán cerradas al aprendizaje en el aula el lunes 28 de septiembre de 2020. La situación se reevaluará el lunes para determinar si la escuela puede reabrir o si el distrito debe permanecer cerrado al aprendizaje en el aula. Todos los maestros y el personal informarán como de costumbre para captar la atención a nuestros estudiantes a través del aprendizaje remoto. Todos los estudiantes deben continuar con sus clases mientras están en casa a través de Schoology. Esperamos tener una actualización sobre esta situación antes del cierre del lunes. Este cierre se debe a la cantidad de miembros del personal que actualmente están infectados o en cuarentena debido al COVID-19. Consulte los archivos adjuntos sobre la distribución de comidas escolares. Si tiene alguna inquietud o pregunta, comuníquese con el director de la escuela de su estudiante o con la oficina del superintendente.
Clarksville Schools will be closed to onsite learning Monday, September 28, 2020. The situation will be reevaluated Monday to determine if school can reopen, or if the district should remain closed to onsite learning. All faculty and staff will report as usual to engage our students through remote learning. All students need to continue with their classes while at home via Schoology. We hope to have an update on this situation by close of business Monday. This closure is due to the number of staff members that are currently infected or under quarantine due to COVID-19. Please see attachments regarding school meal distributions. If you have any concerns please contact your child's building principal or the superintendent's office.

Spanish translation of the parent /teacher conference information that was posted 2 days ago. Este año, debido a COVID-19, nuestras conferencias de padres y maestros no serán reuniones en persona. En cambio nuestros maestros llamarán a los padres por teléfono, comenzando con los estudiantes que tienen mayor riesgo de reprobar. Debido a la falta de tiempo, es posible que no se llame a todos los padres en la fecha programada para la conferencia entre padres y maestros. Los padres son siempre bienvenidos y pueden llamar a la escuela o utilizar Schoology para reunirse con el maestro de su hijo.
This year, due to COVID-19, our parent/teacher conferences will not be in-person meetings. Instead, our teachers will be calling parents on the phone, starting with the students that are at most risk of failing. Due to a lack of time, all parents may not be called on the scheduled parent/teacher conference date. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to call the school or use Schoology to conference with their child's teacher.
Starting today, September 3, 2020, Clarksville Schools will serve ALL students free breakfast and lunch. We are told this will last for the remainder of this semester.
