Clever R-V School District

While we had hoped to return to seated learning tomorrow, the absentee rate among our staff and bus drivers has continued to climb. Because of this, Clever R-V School District is canceling in person classes for Thursday, January 20 and Friday, January 21. We will be utilizing AMI Days #3 and #4. We hope that these additional days will allow everyone a chance to get healthy. Our goal is to return to seated classes Tuesday, January 25th.

Due to the continued absentee rate among our staff and bus drivers, Clever R-V School District is canceling in person classes for Wednesday, January 19. We will be utilizing AMI Day #2. Please remember students will earn full attendance by completing all assignments. We will monitor staff absences closely in an effort to return to seated classes as soon as possible.

Although we have tried to avoid implementing distanced learning, the absentee rate among our staff and bus drivers is forcing us to temporarily move from seated instruction to remote learning.

Per our AMI Plans, students will earn full attendance by completing all assignments. We are monitoring numbers and hope to return to seated classes as soon as possible.

Ever wonder what goes on during teacher workdays? The answer is "lots of things!" Yesterday, teachers met in Impact Teams which focus on realizing where students currently are and utilizing instructional strategies to move them to the next level. They also met in Leader In Me lighthouse groups to plan ways to implement the Leader in Me habits. Some of our teachers also heard motivational speaker Alex Demczak's message. Alex is a former SEC quarterback for the Missouri Tigers. He is also an inspiring communicator who challenges organizations to maximize their potential and make a difference. He spoke to our teachers about the power of positive of leadership and the power of a positive team. As you can see, teacher workdays are packed full of meetings and activities we use to help move Clever Schools forward and remain #bluejaystrong!

Our district is continuing to implement Leader in Me for grades K-8. Leader in Me (LIM) is a program developed to empower students with leadership and life skills. LIM believes that each child has unique strengths and has the ability to be a leader. The flyer below shows an overview of the 7 Habits. Our goal is to bridge the gap between home, school, and community as we continue this journey. Ask your students about Leader in Me!

Mark your calendars and save the date! The Clever High School Graduation Ceremony will take place Monday, May 16th, at Drury's O'Reilly Family Event Center. See the flyer for more information. More details will be shared closer to graduation.

This week is teacher appreciation week. Our teachers work hard every single day--not because it's their job, but because they love their students. They don't just come to work, they show up in ways that impact students' lives for years to come. Take a minute this week to send an email, write a note, or give a fist bump to your child's teacher. Help us remind them how appreciated they are!

Clever School District is not short on talented students! Recently, Clever sophomore Ambryah Moore received 3rd place in the Congressional Art Contest. This is a large contest that includes the whole 7th Congressional District, which spans from Joplin to Springfield. Ambryah's entry (entitled "Eye") is amazing, and we are so proud of her! Congratulations, Ambryah!
