Safety reminder- p. 14 of our handbook states, "Headphones/ear buds must be used by any student playing audio within the common areas. For safety reasons, only 1 earbud may be used." We have given several warnings, but ongoing defiance with this will lead to referrals and consequences, including confiscation.

IRSC email issues/ password resets- As shared previously, only STUDENTS can request a password reset and no one at Clark has the credentials to help. Students MUST email Info@irsc.edu with their name, date of birth, IRSC Student ID number, or IRSC RiverMail email to request a password reset for their MyPioneerPortal accounts. Parents, guardians, or representatives of the student are not permitted to request a password reset on behalf of the student. This underscores the student's responsibility as the account holder. Thank you. Indian River State College Student Communications Center

If you use it inappropriately (taking unauthorized photos, posting unauthorized photos or video to social media) on campus you may be required to turn it in and pick it up at the end of each day.
School Photos- Picture retake day is Wednesday, Oct. 23 for grades 9-11.

We are grateful to Judge Roberts for sharing with our students about the Constitution as well as the elections process. We also extend our gratitude to Mr. Frangella from MCSD for sharing his story as a 9/11 First Responder. Both of these speakers were incredibly impactful. We also appreciate how respectful our students were throughout our monthly assembly.
