Did you realize that the first nine weeks of the 2108-2019 school year ends this week? Students in the Clarksdale Municipal School District will take their first nine-weeks’ exams this week Oct. 8th - 11th. During exam week, each school sets its own daily testing schedule.

Make sure students taking exams get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast each day. These two actions help students stay alert and focused during exams. It’s also very important for students to be present on the day their exams are scheduled. Making up exams is hard for everyone involved. It takes away from a student’s regular class time and puts students at a disadvantage. Regular attendance at school is important every day but is extremely important during exam time.
 
After nine weeks tests students, faculty, and administration in the Clarksdale Municipal School District will enjoy Fall Break, scheduled for Friday, October 12^th and Monday, October 15^th. Students will be dismissed from class on that day and will return to class on Tuesday, October 16^th. Please enjoy the break and return ready and energized to tackle the rest of the semester.
