Today, we honor the incredible dedication and hard work of all Education Support Professionals (ESPs). These unsung heroes—including paraprofessionals, administrative staff, custodians, bus drivers, food service workers, and many more—are essential to creating a positive and supportive learning environment for our students.
Thank you for everything you do to keep our schools running smoothly and help every student thrive! We are so grateful for your commitment and passion.

Reminder....School will be in session, tomorrow, November 11th. I big shout out to the CUSD#15 maintenance staff that have been working hard to have the building ready for school tomorrow.
Clinton Community School District Families,
This is Drew Goebel, Superintendent of Schools.
Due to the recent power outage, school will be canceled tomorrow, Monday, November 10th. This will be an Emergency Day, which will need to be made up at the end of the school year. Please note that this is not an E-Learning Day.
Lincoln School remains without power, and we have heating issues at other buildings due to power surge damage. Our maintenance staff and service providers are actively working on repairs, and we are confident that school will resume on Tuesday.
All after-school activities will continue as scheduled, as the gyms at CES, the Junior High, and the High School were not affected.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

For many students (and caregivers!), the sudden shift from structured school routines to a more flexible summer schedule may lead to feelings of stress or uncertainty. Some may feel isolated from their friends while others might face increased stress from changing family dynamics. Our Partner at Cartwheel Has put together a Summer Activity Guide to support well-being and connection during the summer.

From Superintendent Drew Goebel,
Our hearts are broken as we grieve with our neighbors in Chatham. We extend our deepest sympathy and unwavering support to the children, families, and staff of the Ball-Chatham School District, and to all first responders impacted by this unimaginable tragedy.
As educators, parents, and students, we mourn the young lives lost and hope for comfort and healing for those who are injured. We hold close in our thoughts the families walking through unthinkable sorrow, and we stand in solidarity with the Chatham community as they seek peace in the midst of pain.
We recognize the strength and compassion of the first responders who stepped forward in the face of crisis. May they continue to find courage and feel the appreciation of communities near and far.
To honor those affected and show our support, Clinton School District will wear red on Friday, May 2, 2025. We invite our entire school community to join us in this visible sign of love, unity, and remembrance.
Though words can never fully express our sorrow, please know that the Clinton School District and community holds you close. May love surround you, may peace find you, and may healing begin.
With care, compassion, and solidarity,
The Staff, Students, and Families of the Clinton Community School District

FINDING CLARITY IN YOUR PARENTING ROLE:
Have you ever felt you are making things up as you go along as a parent? Do you worry if you are providing healthy guidance and setting a good example for your children? You are not alone. Parenting feels hard because it IS hard and not because we are doing anything wrong. This session helps us understand how we can be sturdy, loving parents using boundaries and validation. We will also learn strategies to guide our children to learn from their mistakes and become more resilient. This is for all Parents, Guardians and Caregivers with children at CUSD 15 April 21, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm, in the High School Auditorium
