Have you ever stopped by the Administration Building or called the Clark-Pleasant School Corporation with a question about your child? If so, there’s a good chance you’ve already met Teresa Norris—or at least heard her familiar, welcoming voice.
This week’s Returning Warrior feature tells Teresa’s remarkable, full-circle story. From attending school in the very building where she now works, to serving nearly 30 years with the corporation, Teresa’s journey reflects the heart of Clark-Pleasant. She’s been a student, a parent, a grandparent, and now the calm, caring voice that helps guide families every day.
Her story is one of faith, perseverance, community, and a deep love for Clark-Pleasant—proof that some journeys are meant to come full circle.
Read “The Voice That Welcomes Clark-Pleasant: Returning Warrior – A Lifetime of Heart at Clark-Pleasant” in the Clark-Pleasant Chronicle this Sunday.
At Clark-Pleasant Early Learning Center, we intentionally prepare students for what comes next. As part of the school district they’ll continue in, our preschool program helps children build confidence, routines, and foundational skills in a familiar, supportive environment.
Families value our proven curriculum, caring educators, and focus on learning through play—giving students a smooth, natural transition into kindergarten.

Additional, more detailed information will be shared with BES families directly by Principal Laura Shipp.
Thank you for your flexibility, patience, and understanding on Friday. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming our students back to the building on Monday.
When families choose CPELC, they often choose it again—and again.
Our preschool is part of the school district your child will grow up in, creating a smooth, confident transition into kindergarten and beyond.
From the classroom to the front office, families tell us they feel welcomed, supported, and truly known. Many say they only wish they’d discovered CPELC sooner.
“Returning was a no brainer.” – Marie Lomax
Eight years later, three children later, the decision still feels right.

Families choose CPELC for strong academics—but stay for so much more.
Our proven curriculum prepares students for kindergarten while encouraging learning through movement, play, and exploration.
We’re proud to offer a diverse, inclusive environment where children learn alongside peers from many backgrounds—and a full-time, Monday–Friday schedule is an option to support working families.
Most importantly? Parents tell us they have total peace of mind knowing their children are safe, loved, and excited to learn every day.

Due to an overnight issue at Break-O-Day Elementary School, BES will be closed today, Friday, January 30, 2026, and will operate as a Synchronous (LIVE) eLearning Day.
During the night, a heating unit located above the ceiling failed in one classroom (the Art room), causing smoke in that isolated area. The fire department responded immediately, and the situation was addressed quickly. There was no damage to other areas of the building; however, additional time is needed today to complete cleanup efforts.
All other schools in the district will operate on a 2-Hour Delay with in-person learning.
We will provide an update to BES families over the weekend regarding plans for Monday. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
It’s been one of those weeks — full of snow days, two-hour delays, and a whole lot of flexibility. As we head into Friday, January 30, Clark-Pleasant Schools will once again operate on a 2-Hour Delay.
Thank you to our families for your patience, our students for rolling with the changes, and our incredible staff for adapting day after day to keep learning moving forward. A special shout-out to our maintenance, grounds, transportation, and custodial teams who’ve been working around the clock to keep our buildings, parking lots, and buses safe in tough winter conditions.
Here’s to a smooth, safe end to the week — and maybe a little less snow in the forecast ahead. Stay warm and have a great Friday, Warrior family!
We’re so proud to celebrate Stacey Kern, librarian at Clark-Pleasant Middle School, who was recently featured in the Daily Journal for receiving a Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship!
Stacey will embark on a powerful journey across the U.S. and Europe to explore historic libraries and sacred spaces — a pilgrimage she calls “Open Door: Bastions of Hope.” Her work centers on the belief that libraries are more than buildings; they are sanctuaries for inquiry, creativity, and healing.
Through this fellowship, Stacey will bring her learning and inspiration back to our students, families, and community — continuing her passion for advocating for libraries and the role they play in our lives.

We’re grateful to have educators like Stacey Kern who continue to inspire, even beyond the classroom walls. 💙
After several days of snow and synchronous e-learning, we are looking forward to welcoming students back tomorrow with a modified schedule.
Temperatures are expected to remain cold tomorrow morning. If possible, please help students dress in layers or wear weather-appropriate clothing to stay comfortable while traveling to school and during arrival. As always, our schools will continue to support students as needed to ensure everyone is safe and cared for.
We truly appreciate your patience, flexibility, and partnership over the past several days.
If there are any additional changes, families will be notified via ParentSquare, and updates will also be shared on our social media platforms and with local news outlets.
Additional details will be shared by individual schools or teachers as needed. We look forward to seeing our students tomorrow.
Due to updated weather reports and new information received in the last hour, Clark-Pleasant Community Schools will now be CLOSED tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Instead, we will move to a synchronous (LIVE) e-learning day for all students.
Teachers will share specific expectations, schedules, and login information directly with students and families.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we continue to make decisions with the safety of our students and staff as our top priority.
Stay safe and warm
Updated: We will now be CLOSED with a SYNCHRONOUS (LIVE) E-Learning Day Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28th

“All the staff genuinely care for these little humans. You can see it when you walk in the door.” – Brenda Scherrer
At Clark-Pleasant Early Learning Center, caring isn’t just part of the job—it’s who we are. 💙
From excited teachers on the very first day to thoughtful updates and check-ins throughout the year, our families know their children are seen, supported, and celebrated.
With individualized attention, built-in Speech and OT services, and a team that takes pride in every child’s growth, CPELC feels like more than a preschool—it feels like family.

Clark-Pleasant Community Schools – E-Learning Day
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
Due to inclement weather, all Clark-Pleasant school buildings will be CLOSED tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
However, students WILL participate in a SYNCHRONOUS (LIVE) e-Learning Day.
🔹 What this means for families:
Students do NOT report to school buildings
Students WILL log in from home to attend live online classes with their teachers
The State of Indiana allows schools to use three asynchronous e-learning days, where students complete work independently. Those days have already been used. As a result, we are now operating under Synchronous (Live) e-Learning, which requires students to log in and participate in real-time instruction.
Each school will be sending families specific schedule and login information so students know when and where to join their live sessions.
Thank you for your flexibility and partnership as we keep students learning while keeping everyone safe.
