Clark-Pleasant Schools Plan for Solar Eclipse
Dear Clark-Pleasant Families,
We would like to make you aware that a total solar eclipse will take place April 8, 2024. This eclipse will reach across 16 states but will be most prominent in Central Indiana, especially in Johnson County. Therefore like many nearby school districts, we are making plans for a "live," synchronous E-Learning Day on 04/08/2024. We are making this decision out of an abundance of caution as the eclipse will take place in Indiana for over several hours. Additionally, we are being told by local emergency management officials that there will be a significant influx of visitors coming to Johnson County during this time period creating major concerns with transportation and congestion. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to your respective school building administrators.
Sincerely,
Dr. Timothy Edsell
Superintendent
Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation
Which Will Win?
Will it be the KC Tailgater foot long cheese dog with hot cheetos....or will it be the 49ers Cali Burger with guac?
Whiteland Community High School students will decide the outcome, with their purchases, but the last we heard the KC Tailgater was in the lead. Students had some super fun Friday visiting the appropriately decorated cafeteria where the usual lunch fare was available but the two football themed items were hot sellers. Clark-Pleasant Food Services says the culinary competition is design to make it a fun lunch day for students and that seemed to be the outcome.
GLOBAL DAY OF PLAY!!!
Today is Global School Play Day, observed annually every first Wednesday in February. This day promotes the importance of unstructured, regular play for children. The campaign was started by a group of six educators in 2015.
Students at the Clark-Pleasant Early Leaning Center spent the morning going to different rooms to experience different things to play with such as paste and glitter, jumping on mini trampolines, constructing things out of blocks and other snap together toys. One of the favorite rooms was dancing to fun music with a bubble machine. Principal Kristin Parisi says it's hard to tell who enjoys this day more; the kids or the teachers.
4-1st Place FFA Winners Heading to State!!!
Tuesday 4 of our FFA members participated in the District FFA Proficiency Contest. This involves creating and showcasing a portfolio of skills learned through their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) work based program in agriculture. Congratulations are in order because all 4 of these members earned 1st Place in their category and will be advancing to the State Contest!
We also want to note, two of these young men are sophomores. It's rare that sophomores have enough hours and experience to win at the district level, so we are extremely proud of them!

Cards Teaching Kids!
The Pleasant Crossing kindergarten team is is feeling a lot of love thanks to a unique Valentines project they started. Teacher, Savannah Maxwell got the idea to do a social media post asking for people to send Valentines cards to her class and send they have. The large US and World Maps on the hallway walls indicate where the cards have been coming from. The goal is to get a card from all 50 states. They've even gotten cards from Iceland and South Korea. . Once students and their families got involved the cards have literally come from around the world.
Kindergarten teachers say the project has given them a chance to help students understand how the mail system works and they've been able to learn about other states and countries because of the colorful cards that have been flowing into their tiny mailbox in front of their classroom door.
The sectional resumes tonight for Whiteland Girls Basketball! The Warriors take on Columbus East in the 6:00 game. Show up and support the ladies or tune in on WBSN!
📅 Friday, February 2

Love The Bus Month!
Love the Bus is an ongoing campaign celebrated on Valentine's day and throughout the month of February in school districts across the country to recognize hundreds of thousands of school bus drivers who safely transport children to and from school.
CPCSC is very lucky to have a team of dedicated transportation employees who make sure our students receive the necessary support and services to be educated, cared for and fed. Please thank our staff if given the opportunity. They are essential to the success of our school corporation!
Black History Month 2024!
Clark-Pleasant Community Schools Corporation recognizes February as Black History Month.
As members of the Clark Pleasant Community Schools, we enter February with a deep sense of reverence and appreciation for Black History Month. This month serves as a reminder of the countless contributions and enduring legacies of African Americans throughout history. From trailblazing leaders and activists to artists, scientists, and innovators, their impact resonates across every aspect of society.
Black History Month is not only a time to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the past but also a call to action for a more inclusive and equitable future. It is a time to amplify Black voices, acknowledge systemic injustices, and commit ourselves to meaningful change. Let us use this month as an opportunity to educate ourselves, uplift each other, and stand in solidarity against racism and discrimination. Together, as a part of the Clark Pleasant Community Schools, we can create a world where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
