Dear Clark-Pleasant Families, This is a final reminder that a total solar eclipse will take place, Monday, 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. Learning will continue online, Monday and we hope it will be a great educational opportunity for our students to learn more about the solar system. For more information on the path and viewing times of the eclipse please click on the link below. 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 traffic congestion. Thanks for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing students back in their classrooms on Tuesday. Sincerely, Dr. Timothy Edsell Superintendent Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation Where & When | 2024 Total Eclipse – NASA Solar System Exploration https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/.../apr-8-total/where-when/

Econ Mall! There were cute cupcakes, colorful cookies and pretty pastries all for sale at the WCHS Econ Mall Wednesday. The annual event provides real-life lessons for students in Economics class. They learn what it's like to start a small business, how to market their products and how much to charge for them. Unfortunately they sometimes learn they have priced items to high. That's where the lesson of supply and demand comes into play. Regardless of how each student does at the event the bottom line is "CASH". Hopefully they made some and If they did they get to keep it. Of course then they learn how to take out their business expenses giving some the hope of just "breaking even".
