Clintonville School District Welcomes Caleb Bembenek as Activities Director
My name is Caleb Bembenek, and I am excited about the opportunity of being the Activities Director here at Clintonville. I am very passionate about co-curriculars and how they help shape our youth into adults. There are alot of life lessons to be taught and learned and I look forward to helping in the development of our students.
I graduated high school in 2014 from Rosholt, where I was an active 3 sport participant. After high school, I went to Fox Valley Tech, and received a degree in Wildland Firefighting. Shortly before I was headed west, I tore my ACL and during recovery I decided to follow another passion of mine which is teaching. I went to UWSP for my bachelors in teaching Physical Education as well as Health Promotions and Wellness.
Outside of work, I have a lot of “hobbies” bowling, darts, pool, softball and baseball. I'm sure I will be cutting back on these and my fiance will likely be in favor of that.
I have a growing family that supports me through everything. Fiance Morgan works in Waupaca, and my son Knox 2 ½, well he does what any normal 2 year old boy does and that's cause chaos. He is looking forward to being an older brother sometime late December to early January.
I am excited about the new opportunity and I look forward to helping build future leaders of Clintonville.

Clintonville School District Welcomes Matt Parkansky as CMS/CHS Associate Principal
Hello, my name is Matt Parkansky and I am very excited to join the Clintonville School family! I have spent 16 years in education, making sure that all students can learn at a high level. I can't wait to share my passion for learning with all the new students that I meet.
My story is unique because it only involves one school. I grew up in a small town, Wausaukee, and had my 4k-12 experience at Wausaukee school. After attending UW Green Bay, I was fortunate enough to student teach and then get hired by the district as a middle school / high school teacher. After 14 years in the classroom, I was hired as the 4K-8 principal. It was a neat experience to have relationships with people as their student, their peer, and then their administrator.
When not working in education, I love spending time with my family. My family is my number one priority and I love doing everything with them. My wife, Angela, is an elementary school counselor in Oconto Falls. My son, Carson, attends Oconto Falls and is going into second grade this school year. My parents both live in Wrightstown and my sister lives in Los Angeles and is a producer and editor on various documentaries. Her movies have been seen on PBS, Fox Sports, and Netflix.
My family and I love anything Disney and have been to both Disneyland and Disney World. I am a huge fan of auto racing as well. I used to drive Super Late Model racecars throughout Wisconsin and Upper Michigan for about ten years. I am a diehard NASCAR follower, but am starting to get into F1 and IndyCar as well. I also enjoy keeping up with Wisconsin sports teams (Packers, Bucks, Brewers). Lastly, I am an avid Marvel comic reader and love watching the movies and shows of the MCU.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has named Clintonville Middle School a 2023–24 Wisconsin School of Recognition, an honor highlighting its dedication to student growth and achievement as a High Impact School.
This distinction is based on a rigorous set of criteria, including academic performance, measurable progress in student growth or graduation rates, reducing achievement gaps - particularly among students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Wisconsin Schools of Recognition program honors Title I schools that demonstrate success in educating all students, particularly those experiencing poverty. After a pause during the COVID-19 pandemic, the DPI resumed the awards for the 2023–24 school year to continue celebrating schools that make a lasting impact.

CPSD thanks Tony Tagliapietra and his wife Becca for their generous donation of 3 drills, 3 impact drivers and 2 Sawzalls to our woodshop. Tony reached out a couple months ago seeing if we needed any tools and I told him we could use some Drills. He came through for us with all of that!
Recently, many of our 6th grade CMS students spent 3 fun-filled days up in Rhinelander at the Northern Lakes Impact Center. Students participated in numerous team-building activities. They also learned about the Ice Age of Wisconsin, learned how to blacksmith, did some cross-country skiing, built sleds out of cardboard boxes, watched and pet some snakes, and made some rockets and catapults. Everyone had an enjoyable time at camp!
Reminder that at tonight's Boys Basketball game we are doing "Salute to Service." If you would like to participate in the theme, please wear white for "White Out" or Red, White, and Blue. Hope to see you there.
On Thursday, there will be a Fire Truck escort through town for the deploying service members. It will begin at 8:30 am at the High School Front entrance.
6th grade finished their BADL season on Saturday winning their championship game.
