With 1:1 laptops, the district is prepared throughout the academic year to provide remote instruction if there are building closures due to COVID-19, inclement weather, or other emergencies. Last summer, CMCSS received a waiver from the Commissioner of Education to use inclement weather stockpile days at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year to allow for a delayed start. If school buildings are closed, the CMCSS Communications Department will use SchoolMessenger to notify families via call, text, and email. Parents and guardians can use the Parent Self-Service Portal at parents.cmcss.net to update contact information throughout the year. The district also will share inclement weather closure updates on official CMCSS social media accounts, www.cmcss.net, and local media.

CMCSS Opens Applications for Teacher Residency Programs
Please note: This article was originally posted during a previous school year. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. Applications are now open for the Teacher Residency Programs within the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. The programs allow community members, current CMCSS employees, and high school seniors a non-traditional approach to becoming a teacher. “It’s about investing in your own community with an apprenticeship approach to developing teachers,” stated Dr. Sean Impeartrice, Chief Academic Officer for CMCSS. Residents work towards their licensure, degree, and/or certification while gaining first-hand experience as an Educational Assistant within the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. This experience provides instructional and non-instructional support to students while learning best practices for a career in education from a certified CMCSS educator. Now in its third year of the program, CMCSS has partnered with several colleges and universities in the surrounding area, including Austin Peay State University, Nashville State Community College, and Lipscomb University. Residents incur no expenses for tuition or textbooks. “We are proactively addressing the national teacher shortage,” said Dr. Phyllis Casebolt, Director of Federal Projects, including the Teacher Residency Programs. “These programs provide residents an opportunity to work with high-performing teachers while completing the requirements to earn a teaching license. Wrap-around supports are in place to ensure the academic success of the residents. Our district recognizes the positive impact of employees committed to meeting the needs of all students.” There are three teacher residency pathways available for the 2021-2022 school year: Early-Learning Teacher Residency in partnership with Nashville State Community College and Austin Peay State University, Lipscomb Teacher Residency, and Lipscomb Middle Teacher Residency in partnership with Lipscomb University. Applications for community members are due February 10, 2021. High School seniors must submit their applications by March 5, 2021. […]
