Back to school and OTUS https://www.clarke.k12.ia.us/article/295467?org=clarke-community-schools
MS/HS parents & guardians: The drop off and pick up point for all students is the northwest end of the HS student parking lot. We would appreciate it if no one drives around the building who does not have to be on the main campus. This will help greatly improve the flow of bus traffic in and out of the MS/HS campus areas before and after school. The doors will not open until 7:45. HS students should use the auditorium entrance (32), MS students should use the middle school entrance (31). No other entrances should be used.
The first day of school is Thursday, August 27th with a 2-hour early dismissal.
The social worker's clothing pantry is currently at capacity and will not be accepting new donations until further notice. If your student is in need of clothing, please contact Allison Hemesath at: ahemesath@clarke.k12.ia.us.
Clarke Community Schools Virtual Tour (new construction)

Good Afternoon,
It's going to be even more important this year to have access to the most updated calendar for school activities. The Clarke Activities Department uses something called rSchool for scheduling. The hard copy of athletic schedules is only accurate the minute they were printed.
We are strongly encouraging you to use our web-based system to be able to have access at your fingertips to the most updated calendar. When events change, I change it within rSchool and it updates the calendar automatically.
Please go to the URL below to get direct access to calendar information.

Information about how to access your child's OTUS account was sent via email earlier today to the parent/guardian email addresses on file in Infinite Campus.
Check out the student getting started video at: https://youtu.be/afiIKP6HWbo and see the family getting started video at: https://youtu.be/Q22gaWq3-OQ.
Middle school students who will be learning virtually may pick up their Chromebooks in the middle school office next Monday-Wednesday between 8-4.
The Clarke school board has voted to delay the first day of school to Thursday, August 27th.
Due to orientations cancelled at the middle and high school, students will receive schedules and additional information the first day of school in their Advisory class. Students will report to Advisory at the beginning of the school day August 24th. Tours of the building will be during Advisory the first day of school at staggered times. For questions please contact the middle or high school offices.
Due to Covid safety, visitors will not be allowed in Clarke school buildings, and parents will only be allowed as far as each school’s main office. Thank you for your cooperation.
