Dear Parents,
I know you are eager to know your child's schedule. Please know that I have been speaking to multiple platforms for our curriculum to ensure a seamless transition. Dual Credit parent contacts for Juniors and Seniors are my priority and I've had more than one conversation with Olney about some additional classes that are available to our students but might not have been offered. We have exciting possibilities ahead of us. I have spoken to a few of you already. I will point you to the following resources that outline the dual credit policies and procedures from IECC's standpoint. Clay City has additional measures in place. Please be patient as this takes time to establish these safety protocols before moving forward.
Orientation is coming up August 1. I plan to be there to meet students. Parents should plan to attend if possible. Your dual credit student should have received an invitation. Tuesday, August 1st, from 1-3pm, We will start in the theater at 1p and then take a tour of our main building and hopefully our CTE buildings as well.
I'm excited to explore this opportunity for our students, families, and community.

Attention: Please wait at least 48 hours before attempting to use the one click ordering feature for our school supplies. The app will send me updated links soon and I will share. Hopefully this will make things easier.

Check out yesterday's SAT question of the day. Challenge your teen to see who knows the most. Make it a fun family activity. Divide up into teams. Prep daily in small, bite-size pieces. Your teen has apps available to work the problems I'm sure. Have them show you how those work. Your mind will be blown. Then have them explain the process to you as review. "When we do we learn, when we teach, we understand." If they can't teach you how to solve the problem, then "we" (the school and parent team) know they don't truly understand the concept. Getting the answers is easy these days with apps and artificial intelligence. "We" need them to understand the process. Reminder: July 26 is registration. Get those physicals!

I have had many parents and community members ask me what they might be qualified to teach. Please see this page, and run through the WIZARD. Email ccroy@claycityschools.org if you would like us to consider you for a position for which you are not currently licensed but do qualify for under state guidelines. If you hold a social work degree for instance, there is a button for you to push specifically to see what jobs you are qualified for within the school setting.
