Clarksville Primary School

We need substitute teachers and paraprofessionals at CPS!

Parents, Now that the weather has turned cold, please do not send students to school in shorts, tanktops or sandals. Thank You, Mr. Mooney

Dear Parents, We'd like to inform you that there will be a homecoming parade tomorrow on Friday, October 13th, starting at around 2:00 PM. The parade route will pass through our car rider line, and we want to ensure that you are aware of a few logistical changes for that day. For the safety and smooth flow of the parade, parents of car riders will not be able to line up to pick up students until after 2:30 PM. If you arrive before 2:30, we kindly request that you find parking in designated parking areas rather than lining up in the car rider line. After the parade has passed through, you will be free to line up for student pick-up as usual. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we celebrate this exciting event. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to a fun-filled homecoming parade!

Parents, if your student doesn't have a water bottle, it's advisable to provide one for them. Given the high temperatures, they will be permitted to stay hydrated by having water during bus rides.

Attention Kindergarten Parents: As we prepare for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, we kindly remind you to ensure that your child's immunization records and any necessary Dr. orders are up to date. These records, along with kindergarten physicals, should be turned in to your building Nurse on either August 8th or 10th during the Open House event. Alternatively, you may drop them off at the CPS office before that date. State law mandates that all students starting kindergarten must have completed immunizations and a school physical within 30 days of the school year commencing. To verify if your child has the required immunizations, we recommend checking with the health department where your child receives vaccinations or consulting your primary care doctor. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our building Nurse via email: kellie.willis@csdar.org (during the summer) or by phone: 479-979-6003 after August 7. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the health and safety of all our students. We look forward to warmly welcoming back your children to an exciting new school year!
