2020-21 Preschool Application/Registration

Due to the COVID19 issue, we were unable to hold our annual Preschool Application process on-site this year . Application forms have been mailed out to parents who have called to register their child this past week. If you did not receive the application through the postal service, please e-mail Mrs. Balk, sbalk@claytonridge.k12.ia.us. We would like all applications to be returned no later than May 15th.

Kindergarten Registration

As most of you know we were unable to hold our Kindergarten Registration processes last month due to our current circumstances. Parents of prospective kindergarten students for the 2020-21 school year can expect a packet of information and forms to be sent out the week of April 27. Please take the time to review the information and return the necessary paperwork. We ask that this paperwork be completed and returned by May 15. If you know of someone who has an upcoming kindergarten student that did not receive a packet, please have them e-mail Mrs. Balk, sbalk@claytonridge.k12.ia.us. If you do not receive a packet please do not hesitate to e-mail or call the school and leave a message.

Hello CR parents and families!

As students are currently taking a break from the classroom we would like to make you aware of the many free online resources (such as ebooks, activities and more) that are available to your student, should you choose to use them at home. This list is purely OPTIONAL, but your student is probably familiar with many of them from prior use at school. Many of these websites are fun, interactive and provide feedback to guide the learning process.

Access all of these resources with this link: https://tinyurl.com/CRresources20

Note* the Keystone Online Resources are purchased by Keystone AEA 1 and provided to students and schools in the AEA1 area at no cost.

The Clayton Ridge third grade classes usually go to the Iowa Dairy Center in Calmar for an end of the year trip. Since they were not able to attend this year in person, they were invited to a virtual field trip on April 24. Fourth graders enjoyed the trip so much last year, that they were also invited. Many 3rd and 4th grade students “attended” online today. #EaglesLearning #EaglePride #UdderlyAwesome

Comments from students:

"Natalie and I liked watching how the sprayer worked to clean the cows before they are milked. We laughed when it sprayed Mariah."

"Tate said: 'Love seeing those cows, but wish we could see them for real!'"
