The Department of Education just announced there will be NO MS sports this summer. 8th graders are eligible to play on the HS teams if that was going to be the school policy already.
Meal distribution happening 11:00-12:00. No meal distribution Monday due to Memorial Day.
The IGHSAU/IHSAA just announced that we will play ball this summer. Not sure what levels will get to play. Practice starts June 1st, with games starting June 15th. More guidance will be available next week.
The decision to play baseball/softball this summer hasn’t been cleared by the athletic associations yet. The Governor’s statement isn’t the final decision. I’ll keep everyone updated.

Congratulations to these four marvelous educators who are retiring from Clarke Community Schools: Ron Pendegraft, Deborah Rowe, Lori Ehrhardt, and Jeff Ehrhardt. These teachers have dedicated their lives to student learning and Clarke has been blessed to have them using their skill sets to educate our kids. We don’t get to have the usual celebration for these folks due to the pandemic so if you can, please find a way to personally show them your appreciation for all they have done for Clarke Schools.
Clarke High School students with SWCC textbooks should return them today (excluding college stats and calculus). Drop them off at the middle school entrance.
Meal distribution now-noon!
MS/HS students - ALL library books are due back to school by May 29th. To return your book(s), please take them to the MS entrance and place them in the assigned area.
Do not worry about paying overdue book fines at this time. All overdue book fines stopped on March 13th. All existing fines before that date have not increased while we have been away from school. Students that don't return library books will have the replacement fee(s) for the book(s) added to their library account. If you have already returned your library books, THANK-YOU!!
Mrs. Wiley, 7-12 Teacher Librarian"
Summer Activities Update: We will not know the status of any summer sports or school related activities until June 1st when Governor Reynolds will announce the plan for this summer.
