Middle school families; Before and after school tomorrow, November 12th, students will be selling preorders for the 2020-2021 middle school yearbook. Cost is $15 dollars. If paying by check, make checks out to Clarke Middle School.

Yearbooks for 2020 Clarke grads are in the HS office. Every grad received a FREE yearbook. Please pick up during school hours or make arrangements for someone else to pick up. Siblings should pick up for 2020 grads to reduce the number of people coming to the building.

MS Parents picking up cupcakes, reminder to please be here right after school between 3:25-4:00. Come in on Shaw Street. Pick up will be at the junior high gym entrance. We will have your students ready with their smaller orders. If you have a large order, you may need to park, and we will get your order out to you. We are asking that parents do not come into the building.

Reminder To Clarke Middle School Families: Scratch Cupcake delivery day is this Thursday, October 22nd! :) Please make arrangements to be here right after school if you are helping your child pick up his/her order. Orders will be arranged in the new cafeteria. The cupcakes are coming frozen that day, so it is important that you are there to pick them up right away if you intend to keep them frozen.

Familias con Estudiantes Virtuales,
Nosotros pediremos que todos los estudiantes K-12 tomen el examen de diagnóstico llamado i-Ready antes del 6 de octubre (10/16). En la escuela primaria ya empezaron el examen y en la secundaria el examen será la semana del 5 de octubre.
Nosotros hemos creado dos videos para ayudar a que usted guíe a su estudiante virtual en completar el examen i-Ready . El primer video explica que es el examen i-Ready y como nosotros usamos la información que el examen provee. El 2do video le enseñará a las familias como tener acceso al examen para sus estudiantes y como ustedes pueden ayudarlos antes y durante el examen.
Los dos videos pueden ser vistos aquí (letras azules): https://tinyurl.com/clarkeiready

Virtual Learner Families,
We will be asking all K-12 students to take the i-Ready diagnostic assessment before 10/16. Our elementary building has already begun to test and our secondary building will test the week of October 5th.
We have created two videos to help you support your virtual learner in completing the i-Ready assessment. The 1st video will explain what the i-Ready test is and how we use the data it provides. The 2nd video will walk families through how their student will access the assessment and how you can support your student before and during the test.
Both videos can be accessed at: https://tinyurl.com/clarkeiready
