Clintonville Public School District

A special thanks to all of you who donated to the CPSD Dora Stilen Memorial. The money was used to purchase a sign with a Mother Teresa Quote, as well as, lumber to build a Picnic Table/Bench. Dora's smile, laughter, and determination will always be missed and remembered at CPSD. “People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. ~Mother Teresa”

Message from Clintonville Public School District 9-24-2020 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RusABj-jSEhHfaZ02JrN0bF3ECCeKDi5THUi1C6DeF8/edit?ts=5f6cdf95

Good Afternoon Clintonville Parents and Families: This message is to provide some clarification to yesterday's message on our return to school plan. ALL students will have the option to return to school for 4 days a week beginning Sept. 28th if we continue in the medium risk level. While in the Medium Risk Level, Instructional options will be 4 day in-person or 100% virtual. The 2 day cohort will no longer be available. The school district may change to a more severe risk level at any time if conditions dictated by the county Covid-19 cases warrant such a change. A switch to a more severe level would be communicated to families and staff as quickly as possible. If parents feel the best interest of the child is to switch back to in-person instruction, they must contact the building principal to decide the most appropriate transition date. In most cases, the building principal will determine that this date will be the end of the quarter (Nov. 4th, Jan. 14th, March 19th). With the possibility of students returning to 4 days a week in-person beginning Sept. 28th, administration has agreed that parents may contact the building principal by Wednesday. Sept. 23rd to request the switch from 100% Virtual to 4 days a week in-person instruction. While in the medium or higher risk level, any parent may choose to have their child in the 100% virtual learning at any time due to health or medical concerns by contacting their child’s building principal. They are committed to virtual for one full quarter or until the district suspends virtual learning. All 100% virtual students may stay with that option until we return to the Low Risk Category according to Return to CPSD Safety Document for Return w/Covid 2020-2021 and pre-Covid Guidelines. Please feel free to contact your child's building level principal with any questions. David C. Dyb, Ed.D. Superintendent Clintonville Public Schools 715-823-7215 ext. 2604 ddyb@clintonville.k12.wi.us

Dear Parents, Last evening the Clintonville Board of Education approved an update to our return to school plan that utilizes metrics developed in collaboration with the Waupaca County School Superintendents and the County Health Officer. These metrics will allow the district to move from the current "High Risk" level to the "Medium Risk" level and more importantly, 4 day in person instruction for all students beginning Monday, September 28th. Wednesdays will remain a virtual / learning at home day for all students. The plan does allow for adjustments to be made for remaining in or moving to a higher risk level immediately if a significant change in cases occurs. We will continue to use the Waupaca County Dashboard numbers to help guide our decisions. Thank you for helping us to provide a safe learning environment for all students and staff https://waupacacounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/a72bc2528e014300805743db1a54d54e Sincerely, David C.

DEAR PARENTS: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the USDA has announced that any child age 18 or younger will be eligible for free breakfast and lunch regardless of family income through December 31st, or until funding is depleted. This went into effect on September 1st. Student accounts have not been charged for these meals. The free meals program does not include a la carte items or milk at milk break for the 4K - 5th grade students. It is very important that families still complete the free/reduced applications so that when the funding is depleted, we have a current application on file and your benefits do not lapse . The application can be found at https://skyward.clintonville.k12.wi.us or a paper copy is available in the school offices. If you have already completed an application this school year or have received a letter that you have been directly certified for meal benefits, you do not need to fill out another application. If your income changes at any time throughout the year and you think you may qualify for meal benefits you can fill out an application at any time. Virtual learning students are also eligible. To sign up for meals for the days your student is learning virtually, visit the Clintonville School District website at https://www.clintonville.k12.wi.us and click on the food service meal request link to fill out the form. The form must be filled out each week and meals must be picked up from the High School each Wednesday between 11:00 - 1:00.
