Happy Summer Break!

We hope everyone enjoys their time away from school, takes time to relax, and gets the break they need after a busy and successful school year. Thank you for being part of our Clark Street community and for all of your hard work, support, and dedication throughout the year.

If you need anything over the summer, Nicki and Zoey will be in the office Monday through Thursday during normal school hours.

Have a safe, fun, and restful summer. We look forward to seeing everyone back at Clark Street in the fall! ☀️

What a beautiful evening celebrating the Class of 2026! 🎓✨

Senior Celebration is a cherished Clark Street tradition, giving graduates the opportunity to reflect on their journey, honor their accomplishments, and close out their high school experience surrounded by family, friends, and community.

Congratulations to our graduates on all they have achieved. We are so proud of your hard work, growth, and perseverance, and we can't wait to see where your next chapter takes you. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this such a meaningful and memorable celebration!

You’re invited to join us at Clark Street Community School on Tuesday, June 9 from 8:30 AM–12:00 PM for our student Presentations of Learning (POLs)! 🎤✨

Come hear directly from students as they share their learning, growth, projects, and experiences from the year. POLs are a meaningful tradition at Clark Street and a powerful way to celebrate the hard work and voices of our students.

Families, community members, partners, and supporters are all welcome. We hope you’ll stop by, listen in, and help us celebrate our students and their learning journeys! 💙

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

This month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and the importance of creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, valued, and respected.

Shoutout to Ruby Writt for writing this amazing article and helping shine a spotlight on CSCS and our national recognition!

Clark Street Community School student Ruby Writt was featured in the Times-Tribune!

Ruby wrote an article about the school's recognition as a FullScale Learning research site. The education nonprofit is conducting a national study on competency-based learning, a key part of the school's student-centered approach to learning.

"While competency-based learning can sound abstract in theory, its impact becomes clearest through student experience," Ruby said in her article. "As a rising senior at CSCS, attending this school has completely changed the way I think about learning."

Garden lab making a difference in our community!

Clark Street Community School's flex farm is in the local and statewide spotlight!

Fork Farms, a Wisconsin hydroponics equipment supplier, featured CSCS Teacher Ross Cohen's Garden Lab seminar in a recent newsletter. Students in Mr. Cohen's class take the lead on growing kale, basil, and lettuce in hydroponic towers, which ThermoFisher Scientific generously donated to the school.

Plus, the Garden Lab seminar recently donated nearly 15 pounds of lettuce to the Madison Area Food Pantry Gardens. Read more — https://loom.ly/1GhLug8 — and join us in thanking ThermoFisher for their support as well as our students for showing the Community-Oriented Cardinal Mindset in action!
