Clark-Pleasant Community Schools Corporation proudly recognizes August 9, 2023 as International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. The International Day of the World’s Indigenous People on August 9 pays tribute to the Indigenous communities of the world. The latest data reveals that there are about 370 to 500 million indigenous people living in 90 countries. The U.N. General Assembly created International Day of the World’s Indigenous People on December 23, 1994. August 9 was chosen as it was the day of the first meeting held by the U.N. Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. International Day of the World’s Indigenous People on August 9 every year is in order to raise our voices for the rights of the indigenous communities in the world.
How to Celebrate International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples;
● Learn more about the land you live in and its Indigenous Peoples history

National Night Out!
Thanks to those who attended CPPD's first annual National Night Out. The community event to honor and pay respect to our first responders appeared to be a big hit especially with young students. They were able to enjoy face painting, cotton candy, bounce houses and a dunk tank. Everyone enjoyed the free hot dogs, drinks, chips and treats.
A special thanks to Officer Talia Adkins and members of the Clark-Pleasant Police Department for organizing the effort.
Early Release Tomorrow!
Starting tomorrow and each Wednesday throughout the school year we will have our Early Release Day! All buildings will release students 30 minutes early on Wednesday's.
As a reminder to parents if you have a Pre-K, Kindergarten or Special Needs Student a parent or guardian needs to be present to get students off the bus when they arrive home.
Thank you.

Day 1 at WES!
After a rain delay caused flooded classrooms on Wednesday students at Whiteland Elementary were welcomed back by Principal Brent Schmidt, Superintendent Dr. Edsell and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Shipp, this morning. Water damage was confined to the kindergarten classrooms. Crews worked all day Wednesday and into the night to make the rooms look like new again so Kindergarten teachers could welcome little ones who are just beginning their K-12 experience.
Thanks to Director of Operations, Mr. Sam Arnes and restoration crews for getting the building ready to open today. Students said they were excited to be back in class.
Whiteland Elementary Update!
Just a quick update on the status of Whiteland Elementary School. Restoration crews were able to make great progress in cleaning up the water damage that occurred overnight. To be very clear, there were about 4-5 classrooms that experienced water damage to the carpet tiles, supplies, books, equipment, ceiling tiles, etc., which occurred in one section of the school. The rest of the elementary school did not experience any damage. Therefore, Whiteland Elementary School will be open for classes Thursday morning July 27th. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the first day of classes for WES students tomorrow.

Dr. Schilawski Receives Patriotic Employer Award!
Clark-Pleasant Human Resource Director, Dr. John Schilawski has been awarded The Patriotic Employer award from the office of The Secretary of Defense. The award is for contributing to National Security and Protecting Liberty and Freedom by supporting employer participation in America’s National Guard and Reserve Force. “I was surprised to be nominated for the award”, says Dr. Schilawski. “As a school corporation we have always been supportive of those who serve and to allow them the time they need to meet their obligations”.
John says he was nominated for the award by a former employee who’s a member of the Indiana National Guard. He was presented the certificate by Ken Smith who’s a local volunteer for Employer Support for the Guard and Reserves. ESGR
