We know that there are still many very important questions regarding our return, and we promise to share pertinent information in the coming days as soon as it becomes available. Please don't hesitate to reach out to any of your child's teachers or administrators with questions or concerns!
Fall Conferences
Thank you so much to all of the families who were able to meet with teachers this past Friday! We had an excellent turnout, and it was great to have the opportunity to meet with families and discuss their child's glows and grows. If you weren't able to meet for your conference on Friday, please expect some communication from your child's teacher about meeting this week for your conference.
FREE Back to School COVID Testing
CCSD is partnering with DPH and UGA to offer free COVID testing on Tuesday 11/3 at Clarke Central. See the flyer below for more details!
Students Interested in Participating in Sports
You MUST have an up-to-date athletic physical completed by a doctor before you can try out for or participate in any athletic activity. You must also maintain academic eligibility, so make sure you're doing your best to keep your first quarter grades above passing!
Here is a blank copy of the 2020-2021 CCSD Physical Form - bring it to your doctor, a Reddy clinic, or make an appointment at the Hilsman Health Center to get this done. Physicals expire after 1 year, so if you had one last year, it may be expired. You can email our Athletic Director, Ms. Seymour, at seymoure@clarke.k12.ga.us if you have any questions about this.
We don't know yet what winter or spring sports will look like, but will get that information out as soon as possible!
How Can I Stay Updated?
