Mrs. Gooden's kindergarten class has really enjoyed the homecoming activities this week. We especially enjoyed having senior Bryar Cosgrove join our class on Friday.
Today, Mrs. Jones’s first grade class decorated volleyballs with Senior volleyball player Aubrey Busboom! We also celebrated Aubrey’s nomination to Senior Homecoming Court! Congrats Aubrey!
Yesterday, the kindergarten classes at Clara Peterson Elementary had a blast celebrating Johnny Appleseed's birthday with a hands-on apple-pressing activity.
Mrs. Staton's resource class was hard at work on Friday. They practiced subtracting with regrouping in math, editing sentences for writing, and decoded hard words depending on which groups they see me for.
Today Ford County students will be reflecting on their attendance in the first 5 weeks of school. Students will be tracking how many days they have been present versus how many days they have been absent. At this point in the school year, missing more than three days in the first 5 weeks of school puts a student on track to being chronically absent. When your child returns home from school today, ask them about their attendance. #bepresentbepowerful
Third grade math classes walked to Frederick community bank on Friday to learn about how banks work to connect our social studies/math lessons.
Mrs. Steiner's second grade class has enjoyed having senior Aubree Sawyer as their Friday Sports Reader! Aubree is a cheerleader and in the marching band. She was also in Mrs. Steiner's class as a second grader!

Go Panthers!
Mr. Wright and Ms. Cherin were special readers in our kindergarten classrooms today! We enjoyed listening to their stories and learning more about their job responsibilities at Clara Peterson.
Mrs. Walwer and Miss. Allen’s 4th grade class played some football with PBL football player, Kayden Vance!
Senior Charles Cambridge visited Mrs. Johnson 2nd Grade & made panthers together!
The emergency evacuation drill at Clara Peterson has concluded. All staff and students are back at school. Thank you for your cooperation and support as we practice safety procedures!
Attending school regularly is extremely important to your child's academic success. Missing just two days of school a month can lead them to a student being considered a chronic absentee. Let's work together this school year to ensure our students are attending school regularly and making the most out of the 2024-2025 school year. #bepresentbepowerful
This Friday, August 30 Clara Peterson staff and students will participate in a crisis evacuation drill starting at 8:30 a.m. Staff and students will evacuate the building and go to our rallying point, the Lutheran Church, and then be bussed to our reunification center which is ELITE fitness center. This drill will be supervised by school administration and the Paxton Police Department. Once the drill is complete a notification will be sent when all staff and students are back at Clara Peterson.
Mrs. Goodson's 5th grade enjoyed a coffee inspired book tasting to start off the year. As the students "tasted" different genres they enjoyed juice, cookies and mints!
We are looking to add to our team for the 2024-2025 school year.

Week 1 in the books! Our teachers and students are thriving. We're excited to see what this year brings.
Clara Peterson students will be walking to Paxton Lutheran Church during P.E. classes today as part of our ALICE procedures. The church is our designated rallying point in the case of an emergency. If you have any questions, please contact the office.
Ford County Schools (GCMS, PBL, Tri-Point) are partnering together to decrease chronic absenteeism in our schools. We have worked with the Champaign-Ford County Regional Office of Education to secure an attendance liaison, to work strictly with Ford County Schools. We will be hosting monthly visits at our school with the ROE Attendance liaison during the school day. These visits aim to address the importance of consistent school attendance.
