A huge thank you to the Clearwater PTO for organizing such a fun and successful Back to School Bash! 🎉📚

Our PAT (Parents as Teachers) team had a wonderful time meeting so many Clearwater students and their families as everyone gets ready for an exciting new school year.

We loved sharing information about our free Parents as Teachers program and helping families learn about the support and resources available to them. The kids had a blast playing with Play-Doh, creating animal faces with stickers, showing off their Tiger Pride tattoos, and stopping by for fun photo opportunities! 🐯✨

Dear Clearwater R-I Families,

We are pleased to share that the Clearwater R-I School District will continue participating in the Provision 2 Meal Program for the 2026–2027 school year. Through Provision 2, all students are eligible to receive one breakfast and one lunch each school day at no cost, regardless of household income or eligibility status.

To help us continue participating in this program, all households are encouraged to complete the Free and Reduced Price Meals Application. While meals will continue to be provided at no charge to all students, the district must collect eligibility information to receive the appropriate reimbursement and maintain this valuable program. The application will be provided in all Back-to-School Packets and will be available in each building office.

We are proud to continue offering this benefit to our Clearwater R-I students and families and appreciate your help in supporting the success of our school meal program.

Sincerely,

-Mr. McFadden
Superintendent

We can't fully jump into summer without recognizing two wonderful ladies, Anita Patterson and Marsha Radford.

Both of these wonderful teachers spent many years at CES and had an enormous impact on the students, school and community.

You will both be deeply missed but we wish you the absolute best on your next adventures!
