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

The first day of school is Thursday, August 27th with a 2-hour early dismissal.
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 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.

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.
