eLearning Schedule
Parents and students, please make sure you are getting online and working on the eLearning assignments. Reach out to your student(s) teachers if you need any assistance.
All teacher lesson plans can be found on Clark MS's website homepage by clicking Clark eLearning Lesson Plans.
The eLearning lesson plans for the upcoming week will be posted on campus websites at 12:00pm on Monday for the week.
Teachers will only be available to conference and offer assistance during the posted office hours. Also, teachers will continue to try answering emails within 24-hours so please be patient as you await a response to questions. Teachers are doing their very best as they adjust to a higher volume of emails than usual.
Virtual office hours for accessibility are:
1:00-3:00 pm on Monday
9:00-11:00 am and 1:00-3:00 pm Tuesday - Friday
As a reminder, your child’s teacher is your first point of contact in supporting your child through this eLearning process. Therefore, we encourage you to maintain close communication with your child’s teacher through the utilization of the virtual office hours established. In addition, your child’s teacher can further support you if you are unsure of your child’s log-in information to any necessary resources. Please contact your child’s teacher if you do not have this information.
April Events
Meal Information for FISD Students
Frisco ISD schools and facilities will remain closed through at least May 1 to slow the spread of COVID-19. The Child Nutrition Department will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch to students in need during the extended closure, but is making a few changes to the pick-up process to enhance social distancing. Meals for the entire week will now be provided at one time and placed in the trunk of the recipient’s vehicle. Please sign up here.

Parent Canvas Accounts
Parents, you can sign up for your own Canvas account where you act as an observer. As an observer, you can see due dates, announcements, and other course content, but cannot participate in the course. These instructions can help you to set up an account.
Currently, there is not a notification for submitted assignments. This guide shows how parents can monitor student progress from the Canvas Parent App. Below is a screenshot of what you can see for any course and there is a note showing if the assignments are submitted, missing, or turned in late.
COVID19 Concerns Reporting Form
For all Frisco ISD students and family members: if you have information to report related to COVID19 self-quarantine, mandated quarantine or positive test of the Corona Virus please complete this form.
RAIL Tutoring
RAIL will be available during afternoons and evenings Tuesday-Thursday for student assistance. See information for this week here.
