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.

Clarksville Food Service Information Concerning Blended Fridays English https://5il.co/lpuo Spanish https://5il.co/lpuq Karen https://5il.co/lpup

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.

Virtual students can pick up a packet at the office. CHS requires that you purchase a cap and gown unit for graduation.

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.
