Hello Clinton Middle School Families,
I wanted to provide you with an update regarding winter athletics. At this time, we are going to forgo all winter sports at the Middle School due to the health concerns that we continue to face in Rock county with the rising COVID-19 cases. However, we will still continue to offer opportunities for middle school students after school in the form of intramurals. Currently, Coach Jaecks and Coach Pfeifer are running this program after school Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3:30-4:30. We will continue to run these programs until December 18th.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Lockers
As always please reach out to the office if you have any questions or concerns.
2. Students will only be able to go to their lockers during certain times throughout the day:
- When arriving to school in the morning
- Before recess
- After lunch
- Before leaving school at the end of the day
3. In order to socially distance as much as possible, students will share lockers with a
student from the other cohort. (i.e. one Cougar and one Pride student will be assigned to
each locker)
- This allows 3 empty lockers between each student
- Lockers will need to be emptied out at the end of EVERY day as students leave the building.
- Both the inside and the outside of all lockers will be sprayed using our daily disinfectant process.
FOOD TO-GO
Meal pick up times will continue to occur as well:
- Pride Cohort pick up every Monday at 11 am
- Cougar Cohort pick up every Wednesday at 11 am
- Clinton Connect pick up is both Mondays and Wednesdays at 11 am. Please plan to pick up on both days in order to have enough meals for the week.
