Some of the notable figures represented included big George McGinnis, astronaut Gus Grissom, Ray Crowe himself, James Dean, and Wilbur Wright, among others. This event provided a valuable lesson in state history as students learned about these famous Hoosiers!

I am thrilled to announce that Clark-Pleasant Schools has once again been awarded the NAMM National "Best Communities for Music Education" honor! This marks the sixth consecutive year we have received this award, placing us among just 18 school districts in Indiana to achieve this prestigious recognition.
Congratulations to our outstanding music educators, our school board, administration, and the entire school community for acknowledging the significant impact that music education has on the development of our K-12 students.
We are gearing up for our Explore Summer reading program and wanted to share the promotional items. Attached is the flyer with nearly all of the information they would need. Our marketing team has also made a video to get our patrons excited and motivated. We were hoping that you would be able to share these with your schools. The video is less than a minute long, so perhaps it could even be shown in classrooms? It is a little fast, but the speed of the video can be slowed. If any schools would like a visit from our library staff to promote the summer reading program, please let them know that they are welcome to reach out to schedule something with us. Depending on schedules, we could even get the JCPL mascot Bibli to come with us.
Thank you for the consideration and please let me know if there are any questions.

Ray Crowe Families:
All students, new and returning, need to submit a registration for the 2025-2026 school year by May 30th. Even if your student is currently enrolled at a Clark-Pleasant school, an updated registration needs to be submitted for every student for every school year. We currently have 34% of our students re-enrolled. The registration process contains essential questions and agreement statements that are required by state and federal agencies for schools and districts to ask all households, every school year. Use the link below to register your child(children).
https://www.cpcsc.k12.in.us/page/registration
After submitting your updated registration, you will see an email from us letting you know you've been "approved" for the 25-26 school year.
Please contact RCES office at 317-530-4018 with any additional questions.
**You may need to review 2024-2025 registration before you can do the 2025-2026 year**
If you live out of the district or RCES boundaries and would like to request permission for your child to come to RCES, the link to request a transfer to RCES has currently closed. If and when it reopens, we will send out an updated message. These are reviewed by our Assistant Superintendent each summer. PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME that if your child has been approved in the past that they will be approved each year. Siblings of current students may or may not be approved. Our class sizes and other factors will determine how many students are approved each school year.
Our family event will be Friday, April 25th, before school. (7:30-8:45 am)
We will have a Book Fair Breakfast, where students and their families can come buy donuts from the donut truck, eat in the cafe, and shop at the book fair. We hope you can join us!
**Please enter and exit through Door 18 by the gym**
