Our Weekly Wrap-up has us looking forward to our final full week before Fall Break 😎
Here's what we heard from our schools this past week!
Kirkwood Elementary: Our fifth-graders are making music 🎶 They’re learning to play C and F chords on the ukulele and putting those new skills to work as they prepare to sing “Shoo Fly, Don’t Bother Me” at their upcoming concert!
Hazelwood Elementary: Our stars had fun at our Pop-In Family Literacy Event! Families enjoyed reading-themed crafts and activities in the library and art room, plus a fun obstacle course in the gym.
Ringgold Elementary: Fourth-graders worked through the Engineering Design Process to create a solar cooker that demonstrates how solar energy can be transformed into heat energy to cook yummy s'mores!
Norman Smith Elementary: Our third-grade students explored the states of matter with a delicious root beer float lab. They observed solids, liquids, gases, and some fizzy reactions along the way!
Rossview Elementary: Ms. Crumb’s third-graders got hands-on with math. Using Play-Doh, students explored the distributive property of multiplication by breaking apart numbers and building their understanding in a fun, interactive way.
Minglewood Elementary's second-grade students are working hard to solve math problems that require many steps and deep thinking. They are organizing their steps in a clear, methodical way as they solve the problem.
Saint Bethlehem ELC: We had another wonderful Community Helpers Day! Thank you to the Clarksville Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, Clarksville Fire Rescue, Clarksville Emergency Management Agency, Clarksville Street Department, and Waste Connections of Clarksville for coming out to teach our preschoolers about community helpers, and to all the teachers and staff who helped make this day fun for the Cub Hub.
Kenwood High: Homecoming prep was in full swing last week! From fresh fades to flawless manicures, our talented Barbering and Cosmetology students made sure everyone was dance-floor ready. A huge thank you goes to Mr. Williams and Ms. Miller for sharing your passion and leveling up our students' skills every single day!
Richview: Homecoming week. Color Wars. 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-grade students SHOWED UP in their colors today! We LOVED seeing the grade level shirts flooding the halls!
Carmel Elementary: Fourth-grade mathematicians had a sweet time learning about the distributive property. Students used Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks to build arrays, decompose them into smaller parts, and see the distributive property in action.
West Creek High: Thank you to everyone who donated cans and who volunteered at Coyotes Give Back. We had an amazing event.

Information about the Universal Screener
Schools assess all students in the fall, winter, and spring using a Universal Screener. This is a skills-based measure that students are given to quickly check how they perform compared to grade-level expectations. Screeners are brief measures of math and reading proficiency and social-emotional protective factors. After universal screening measures are administered, parents/guardians will be provided with reports. To help families understand the data reports that are provided with report cards and/or progress reports, please review the resources linked below from the Instruction and Curriculum Department:
