Pitching In!!!
Thanks to the volunteers who've been pitching in to help those trying to get our community back online. Here are a few photos of community members preparing meals, at the high school to feed the cleanup crew (staff) and also the linemen. This is truly The Warrior Way in action!!!
Grab n Go!
More than 200 lunches were served Tuesday at Clark-Pleasant Middle School. Thanks to our Food Services employees for preparing the lunches which included a nutricious meal that included either a PBJ or Yogurt along with fruit, vegatables and a snack.
The Grab n Go lunch program was set up this week to help members of the community as they recover from storm damage. "The effort was so popular on day one that we've decided to continue handing out lunches through Friday", says Food Services Director Kim Combs. Anyone can pick up a free lunch at the middle school between 10 am and 1:00 pm until Friday.
Grab & Go lunches will be available for the community on Tuesday, April 4th and Wednesday, April 5th.
Pickup will be at Door 12E at Clark-Pleasant Middle School from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm. The middle school address is: 1354 East Worthsville Rd, Greenwood, IN 46143.
Clark-Pleasant Schools will be closed Tuesday, April 4th and Wednesday, April 5th this week. On Thursday April 6th and Friday, April 7th we will be on a modified schedule which will include the middle school and high school having e-learning and our elementary students attending in person as normal. Clark-Pleasant Early Learning Center will not have classes for the remainder of the week.
Currently the school system is without an internet connection due to the tornado damage and we do not have an estimate on when it will be repaired. Elementary instruction is less reliant on these connections and our modified schedule will keep the typical high school traffic out of the area which is still very busy with emergency personnel, utility contractors, road closures and various other cleanup activities. We have been asked specifically to keep traffic in this area to a minimum.
We know these closings and modified schedules are disruptive to family schedules, but please know that our principals, public safety officials, facilities and food services teams are doing everything possible to get us back in the classroom.
Please keep an eye out for updated messages on the ParentSquare platform. And finally, continue your thoughts and prayers for our community members whose homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed by the storm. It has been impressive to see the outpouring of support for these families and I know this is only the beginning.
Sincerely,
Dr. Patrick Spray
Clark-Pleasant Superintendent
Helping Hands!
Dozens of Clark-Pleasant Staff members gathered at the high school this morning to volunteer for cleanup duty in tornado impacted neighborhoods throughout Whiteland.
The first group worked a morning shift with others coming for an afternoon shift at 12:30 p.m. We're grateful to our staff members for their willingness to come out on Monday and help their neighbors.
Clark-Pleasant Schools Closed Monday! April 3, 2023
Due to a confirmed tornado that caused considerable damage in the Whiteland area Friday evening there will be no classes on Monday. Some of our buildings still have power issues, utility poles are down and some roads are blocked due to storm cleanup which creates significant traffic problems, especially with our buses. All of these issues impact our ability to have school. We will reassess our situation Monday and will provide an update at that time. Thank you for your understanding and please try and assist anyone who might be in need at this time. Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp
