Happy National School Bus Safety Week!
This week, the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation is celebrating National School Bus Safety Week by recognizing our dedicated team of bus drivers and transportation staff.
Our drivers are the first and last CPCSC face many of our students see each day. They are professionals who navigate complex routes, manage traffic, and prioritize the well-being of every student on board. Their commitment to safety ensures that our most precious cargo arrives ready to learn.
Please join us in thanking these everyday heroes for the calm, careful, and caring way they start and end our students' school day!

Good morning everyone and welcome back from what was hopefully a restful Fall Break for you!
I am thrilled to announce that the Marching Warriors had some wonderful performances over Fall Break.
On Oct 11th we hosted the ISSMA Scholastic Prelims/Open Invitational in which the Marching Warriors performed and earned a GOLD rating "With Distinction" in Music, Visual, and General Effect.
This last Saturday the Marching Warriors competed in the ISSMA Regionals at Center Grove High School. They performed beautifully and once again received a GOLD rating and once qualified as ISSMA SEMI-STATE FINALISTS!! This is the 15th time the band has earned this honor and we are very proud of them and this accomplishment!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation is committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued.
Bullying is never acceptable. This month, we renew our focus on prevention, education, and intervention across all our schools. We encourage our entire community—students, staff, and families—to take an active role:
Speak Up: Be an Upstander, not a bystander. Report bullying immediately to a teacher, counselor, or administrator.
Be Kind: Choose empathy, inclusion, and compassion every day.
Reach Out: If you or someone you know needs support, please utilize the resources available at your school.
Let's work together to ensure that every student at CPCSC is treated with dignity and respect.

Celebrating Diverse Learners: National Learning Disabilities Month
October is National Learning Disabilities (LD) Month, a time to raise awareness and promote understanding of the challenges and strengths of students with learning disabilities.
At Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation (CPCSC), we believe every student has unique talents and the potential to succeed. LD is not a reflection of intelligence; it simply means a student learns differently.
This month, we celebrate the determination, creativity, and success of our diverse learners and commit to fostering inclusive environments where every student receives the individualized support they need to thrive.
Let's work together to shine a light on LD and champion all our students!

Building the Future: Celebrating Careers in Construction Month! 🛠️🏗️
October is Careers in Construction Month, a time to shine a spotlight on the high-demand, high-wage career paths in the skilled trades!
The construction industry needs a new generation of craft professionals, and a four-year degree is not the only path to success. These careers offer:
Strong Earnings: Many trades professionals earn excellent salaries without the burden of college debt.
Job Security: The demand for skilled workers in fields like carpentry, electrical, welding, and plumbing is consistently high.
Hands-On Work: A rewarding career where you can see the tangible results of your efforts every day.
The Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation is proud to offer CTE programs that give our students a head start in these essential fields. We encourage all students to explore the trades and literally build their future!
