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 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 our county during this time period creating major concerns with transportation and congestion.
The Butler University astronomy department projects the partial eclipse will begin in Indianapolis around 1:50 pm and that the total solar eclipse will occur at 3:06 pm and end at 3:09 pm. The partial eclipse will end at 4:23 pm.
While learning will continue online for this day it will be a great educational opportunity for our students to learn more about the solar system. We will provide more information as the date approaches but if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to your respective school building administrators. For more information on the path and viewing times of the eclipse please click on the link below.

Introducing Pearl!
Clark-Pleasant is partnering with Ultimate Canine to add Pearl to the Warrior family. Pearl graduated on July 13th and has done great! Therapy dogs, like Pearl, have been proven to increase wellness and regulation skills for staff and students. Therapy dogs in schools help students learn social skills, prevent social isolation, aid in co-regulation, and decrease anxiety and depression. Schools that have therapy dogs have also seen a rise in attendance as well as reading. The University of California conducted a study involving therapy dog reading programs and found that struggling students reading to a dog were able to increase their reading fluency by 12-30%.
Pearl will work with 9 certified handlers who can work with her in the school buildings or in the community. Our certified handlers from WCHS are Dana Griffin, Emily Pierce, and , from CES Dr. Brian Sloan, Heather Risley, and Alex Bailey, from CPMS Amanda Siemens, from CPELC Kristin Parisi, and Erica Garrity, Jeni Prenatt, and Dr. Connie Poston.
Pearl made her first appearance before the school board on Tuesday evening. Welcome Pearl!
