Clarksville Junior High School

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.

Due to Covid-19, Parent Teacher Conferences will be held over the phone and through Schoology. There are no onsite conferences. Teachers will be calling the parents of all students who have a D or an F. If a student has an A, B, or C, their parents may contact the teacher via Schoology message, or email to discuss any concerns and the teachers will get back with you. If you have not yet setup your Schoology Parent Account, this would be an excellent time to do so. You can call the office for help. Progress Reports will be sent home with your students on Sept. 29. They do NOT need to be signed and returned. Thanks for your understanding and patience as we work to continue to serve all of your students in the safest and best ways possible.

All Clarksville Schools will be OPEN for onsite learning tomorrow, Tuesday, September 29. The following link will take you to a video explaining our situation. https://youtu.be/FM7bpWc2QqQ

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 25, 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. https://5il.co/lhhq https://5il.co/lhhu https://5il.co/lhhp

The annual Flu Shot Clinic at Clarksville Junior High will be held September 30 in the afternoon. Parents of virtual students are welcome to bring their student to school for the shot. The clinic will begin at approximately 12:30.

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.
