Elem parents may walk their child to their classroom for the first day of school on 8/25. We are encouraging families to allow their child to come in on their own moving forward. It helps create independence, establishes routine and builds self-confidence. Kossuth St. will be used ONLY for drop offs. If you are parking to walk in, please park on Cass St. or in visitor parking. No parking will be allowed on Kossuth St. Thank you!
Clarke Middle School families, please make a note of the following information. Drop off, and pickup will happen in front of entry 31. Students may enter the building at 7:50 in the morning, and dismissal is at 3:25. On the first day of school, all students will report to their advisory first thing in the morning before reporting to their first-period class. We look forward to seeing everyone, Wednesday morning!
Please check your Infinite Campus account for information regarding school provided transportation. One can find which bus number and approximate pick up times within the transportation tab.

Middle School sports registrations are underway. Must be a 7th or 8th grader to play in middle school. The following link will get you started. https://www.familyid.com/clark...
MS Football Camp will be August 17-19 from 7-8pm at the grass practice field south of the pool.
There is a severe shortage of officials for football, basketball, baseball, and softball. Most schools have a group of local individuals that help out with lower level games. We used to have a group that did, but most all have retired from teaching and no longer officiate. It's very likely we may not be able to play some lower level games this fall and winter unless we get some local people to help out.
I have officials that would be willing to train.
If interested, please contact me at rbolton@clarke.k12.ia.us
The Football Discount Cards WILL be available later next week! Players will be reaching out to you soon.
