Big Thanks to Harbor Freight for Supporting Our Advanced Manufacturing Program! We are thrilled to announce that our Advanced Manufacturing class received a generous Harbor Freight gift card donation, enabling us to purchase essential tools focused on precision measurements and skill-building!

Rocket Cafe Breakfast Menu for November

This year, the Veteran’s Program at South Carroll Special School District will take place in the A.D. Jarrett Gymnasium on November 11, 2024 at 10:00am. The speaker will be Rev. Lieutenant, Garrett Burns, Active Duty Navy Chaplain, and Associate Chaplain at Bethel University. Veterans visiting with us on this day are asked to dine with us alongside our Clarksburg Student Council Members and administrators. Mr. Dewayne Ervin, Student Council Advisor, is attempting something new this year, but he will need your help. We want to both honor and memorialize our current and retired veterans as well as those who are no longer with us. If you would like your veteran family members and friends to be honored/memorialized on this day, please fill out the form that is being sent home this week and return it the following day.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to rising food costs, the board has voted to change the amount of cafeteria credit that can be charged. Starting November 1, students and staff will no longer be able to charge over $15.00. Currently, our school offers the CEP program, which allows students to eat breakfast and lunch at no cost. However, if a student does not get a complete meal with at least three items for lunch, or if they purchase seconds, there will be a charge. This is a USDA rule, not one made by the board. To help us stay on budget, please talk to your child about this policy. If you’d like to check your child's meal account balance, visit My School Bucks at myschoolbucks.com, or you can call Mrs. Christy Bennett at 731-535-6099 to find out the balance or add a note to the account. Thank you for your understanding and support! 💙

REVISED DATES: Oct 28 - Nov 5

Whether students go directly into the workforce or go to post-secondary institutions for education and training, JAGTN gives them the skills needed to be mature, long-term employees, who are ready and willing to enter the workplace. JAGTN's COO visited Ms. Stokes' JAGTN class to deliver some inspiring words.

REMINDER: Fall Break is October 14 - 18.

Don't miss Clarksburg School's Fall Festival on October 25!

Tonight's middle school basketball game at Big Sandy has been cancelled due to flooding concerns. The game will be rescheduled.

Mr. Dewayne Ervin plans to add something new to our Veteran's Day Assembly this year, and he needs the community's help. We want to honor our veterans past and present at this assembly, so please provide their names and ranks and what branch of the military they served. Also, let Mr. Dewayne know if they are to be HONORED (either still serving or retired) or MEMORIALIZED (they have passed away). We will honor them in a unique way at our service at SCSSD on November 11. Thank you for your help. You may email Mr. Dewayne directly at dewayne.ervin@clarksburgschool.net or send a note through a student. We don't want to miss anyone, and he will be compiling this list all the way through the remainder of September, through October, and through very early November.
