Parents:
I just wanted to put out a reminder to make sure your student has their mask on everyday when they come to school. We are giving out a lot more of the disposable masks lately. I know that most everyone has their masks everyday and I appreciate that! I also know that sometimes we forget our mask at home (me included). Just please do your best to have masks on students when they come to school.
Thank you,
Mr. Mooney
Parents: Schoology should be up and working now.
Parents:
A message from out technology department: Schoology is now authenticating through office 365. When you go to https://csdar.schoology.com use the SSO. The login will be your full email address and password. Off campus students will need to do the same for now.
Parents:
If you are not able to get into Schoology this morning it is because the state network has a widespread outage. We are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible but there is no projected time for a solution yet. Some students have been able to log in using the QR code so you might try that. Students will not be held accountable for work not turned in due to this outage.
Make up flu clinic: Please click on the links for make up flu clinic information. If you are a parent of an at school student and want them to get the make up flu shot send your teacher a note and she will send the form home. Virtual students will fill out paperwork when they come to get their flu shot.

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.

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.
