Letter From the Director<br />
Dear Students, Parents, Guardians, and School Partners,<br />
As we begin the 2012-13 school year, I want each of you to know being<br />
selected as your Director of <strong>Schools</strong> is both humbling and a great<br />
honor. I take seriously the charge given to me by the members of the<br />
<strong>Clarksville</strong>-<strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>County</strong> School Board. Having worked in<br />
this school system for 26 years, I have witnessed first-hand a commitment<br />
to ensuring our focus is on student achievement. Each of<br />
us plays a major role in creating a learning community that provides<br />
a quality educational experience for all of our students. As I look to<br />
the new school year, I see everyone in the district – myself included<br />
– committing ourselves to taking the “next step” toward moving our<br />
students to a higher level.<br />
We all must work together for our students to be career- or college-ready, and prepared to enter a world in which they can make a positive<br />
impact. We must share this responsibility and decide that together we will move “one step” forward to make a difference in the lives of our<br />
students to support a district which continues to be a cornerstone for learning and economic development for this community.<br />
This past summer, we sent high school math and science teachers to worksites all over <strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>County</strong> to take part in “externships”<br />
where they worked with local business and industry to experience real-world applications for the lessons they will teach in their classrooms.<br />
Our primary focus was to align our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) work. The businesses, industries, and organizations<br />
could not have been more supportive and engaged. Among those organizations is Bi-<strong>County</strong> Solid Waste Management, which also sponsors<br />
this calendar.<br />
Within the pages of this calendar, you will see twelve examples of the great work going on in our school system. Naturally, I can think of many<br />
more, but the ones highlighted provide a glimpse of what a high performing district we are. Our progress and achievements have not always<br />
been easy, and they certainly were not because we chose to rest upon our accomplishments. Instead, we have chosen to look forward in our<br />
commitment to continually improving as a district for our students. Thanks to all of you for helping make this school system great and for<br />
joining in our commitment to take the “next step” to becoming even greater.<br />
Have a wonderful school year,<br />
Dr. B.J. Worthington<br />
Director of <strong>Schools</strong><br />

About the Calendar<br />
The 2012-13 School Calendar was developed by the <strong>Clarksville</strong>–<strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>County</strong> Director<br />
of <strong>Schools</strong> through the Office of Communications. Content is based upon information available at<br />
the time of printing, and certain dates and items are subject to change. Sponsor: Bi-<strong>County</strong> Solid<br />

Achievements<br />
CMCSS is one of a distinguished group of school districts that has earned district accreditation<br />
from AdvancEd, the premier international accrediting agency. In June 2012, the School System was<br />
recommended for ISO-9001:2008 Certification which is an international standard for quality management<br />
recognized by professional organizations and industries worldwide. The CMCSS graduation<br />
rate has risen steadily over the last six years and was 93.5 percent for 2011.
Child Nutrition<br />
Students are treated to healthy breakfasts and lunches at each of our schools<br />
following the Food Based Traditional Meal Pattern. CMCSS Child Nutrition is<br />
also proud to begin offering (as available) locally grown “Farm to School” items<br />
this coming school year.<br />
The cafeterias utilize a point-of-sale system that allows prepayment into the<br />
student meal accounts for purchases. A student’s six-digit PowerSchool number<br />
is used to identify them in the system and allows for historical record keeping of<br />
all transactions on the account. Parents can send meal money to school with their<br />
children or enjoy the convenience of on-line payments and/or the monitoring of<br />
account balances and purchase history by registering at www.parentonline.net<br />
(Please note that this is a new online payment system and website for 2012-2013.<br />
Parent Online has agreed to accept a minimum payment of $10 for the 2012-<br />
2013 school year but it is recommended that you make a minimum payment of<br />
$20. Starting in the 2013-2014 school year the minimum payment will be $20 for<br />
ParentOnline).<br />
The Child Nutrition Department participates in the National School Lunch<br />
and National School Breakfast Programs, so families have the ability to apply for free<br />
or reduced priced meals. Instructions on how to apply for free or reduced meals online<br />
will be sent home with all students at the beginning of the school year, and paper<br />
applications are available at all schools and at the Central Administrative Offices.<br />
Meal prices for the 2012-2013 school year:<br />
Lunch Prices:<br />
Elementary Full Pay $2.20<br />
Middle/High Full Pay $2.40<br />
Approved Reduced $ .40<br />
Adult/Teacher Lunch (price will be calculated using State Formula and will be announced at a later date).<br />
Breakfast Prices:<br />

(Other a la carte/extra prices will be dependent upon bid prices for the new school year)<br />
In accordance with state recommendations, all 2nd meals (to include those students who<br />
are on free or reduced) will be charged the full adult/visitor price.<br />
Menus are posted at www.cmcss.net and are published weekly in The Leaf-Chronicle, and<br />
also at www.schoolmenu.com and www.clarksvillenow.com. For more information about the<br />
Child Nutrition program, visit our web site or call 920-7842.<br />
In accordance with Federal Law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, the Child Nutrition<br />
Department of the <strong>Clarksville</strong>-<strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>County</strong> School System is prohibited from discriminating<br />
on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. To file a complaint of<br />
discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW,<br />
Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call toll free (866) 632-9992 (Voice). Individuals who are hearing<br />
impaired or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800)<br />
877-8339; or (800) 845-6136 (Spanish). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.<br />
Inclement Weather and Bus Info<br />
It is the School System’s goal to keep our students safe. Parents are advised<br />
to keep current information on their child’s emergency card. Thus, when<br />
schools are faced with threatening weather, the district’s telephone notification<br />
system is programmed to send a message to the number provided.<br />
Also, parents are advised to listen to radio and television reports, and they<br />
are encouraged to call the transportation information line at 358-2006 for<br />
up-to-date transportation information, or sign up on the school notifications<br />
list at www.cmcss.net for school closing information. Should severe<br />
weather strike during the school day, each school is notified through batteryoperated<br />
radios, electronic mail, and telephone if those methods are not<br />
impacted by the existing weather system. In the event of a tornado watch,<br />
students are moved out of portable classrooms and into the building and all<br />
outdoor activities are cancelled. In the event a tornado threatens or hits a<br />
school building, schools follow tornado drill procedures where teachers and<br />
administrators direct all students to “duck & cover” and remain in the safe<br />
area until the “all clear” is given. Parents are discouraged from checking their<br />
children out of school during severe weather. Experts say a vehicle is one of<br />
the most dangerous places to be during a tornado. Buses are not loaded when<br />
any part of the county is under a tornado warning, and school bus loading<br />
may be delayed if there is a danger of threatening weather. School buses run<br />
“inclement weather routes” if the wind chill is less than 20 degrees, or the<br />
heat index is above 100 degrees, or if it is raining. In the event that schools<br />
are closed early because of snow or threatening weather, administrators will<br />
follow the parents’ wishes as stated on their children’s emergency cards. The<br />
number to call for information regarding bus substitutions and route status<br />
is 358-2006. For information on school zones or bus routes, call the Operations<br />
Department at 358-4089 or go to www.cmcss.net, and click on the<br />
Student/Parent link. For transportation or school safety concerns, call the<br />
Operations Department at 358-4099.<br />
PowerSchool<br />
Standards Transitioning to Common Core PowerSchool is an effective tool which lets parents have secure online<br />
Tennessee and CMCSS are operating under two standards models, with a<br />
full transition to the nationally recognized Common Core by 2014. To read<br />
more about Common Core, go to www.tncore.org. The curriculum covers<br />
many of the same skills as before, but to a deeper extent with a higher level of<br />
thinking, and oftentimes a year to two years earlier than in the past. Teachers<br />
have received training and are prepared to move students through this<br />
adjustment.<br />
New Assessments<br />
College-readiness pre-tests will be given in the eighth and tenth grades to<br />
identify areas that need more attention so they can be addressed earlier in<br />
high school. Instead of students taking Gateway exams, they will take End-<br />
Of-Course exams in English I, II and III; Algebra I and II; geometry; U.S.<br />
History; Biology I; Chemistry; and Physics. These exams will also count as a<br />
percentage of the student’s class grade. In the eighth grade, students will take<br />
the EXPLORE test and in tenth grade they will take the PLAN test. Both of<br />
these tests are benchmarks, which help students understand how well they<br />
are prepared for the ACT test that is given to all eleventh graders to determine<br />
college and/or workforce readiness. Scores on both the EXPLORE<br />
and PLAN tests are used to place students in honors classes and also help<br />
determine remediation needs. Students are encouraged to meet with their<br />
school counselor to get information about admissions requirements for specific<br />
schools.<br />
Graduation Requirements<br />
In order to graduate, all students entering twelfth grade this year must complete<br />
22 credits to receive a regular diploma, with three credits in a chosen<br />
elective. Within these 22 credits, students must complete Algebra I and II<br />
plus two additional upper level math courses; Biology I, chemistry or physics<br />
and an additional lab science course. A half-credit also has been added<br />
each in physical education and personal finance.<br />
Student Dress Code<br />
CMCSS has a dress code policy that is explained in the Student Code of Conduct<br />
that can be found at www.cmcss.net.<br />
Pre-K Programs<br />
CMCSS offers 20 Pre-K classes in the following elementary schools:<br />
Barksdale, Byrns Darden, Cumberland Heights, Glenellen, Hazelwood,<br />
Kenwood, Liberty, Minglewood, <strong>Montgomery</strong> Central, Moore Magnet,<br />
Norman Smith, Northeast, Ringgold, Rossview, St. Bethlehem, West<br />
Creek, and Woodlawn Elementary <strong>Schools</strong>. Contact Theressa Powell at<br />
648-5653 ext. 1005 or theressa.powell@cmcss.net for additional information<br />
about Pre-K programs. Full day Pre-K classes begin on Aug. 17.<br />
access to weekly updated grades and communication with their children’s<br />
teachers. Report cards can be viewed as well as attendance history. Parent<br />
passwords for access to PowerSchool can be requested at the child’s school.<br />
Meanwhile, CMCSS uses SchoolMessenger as its provider to deliver telephone<br />
or email messages to parents about important school information.<br />
Beginning this year, SchoolMessenger will give parents and guardians the<br />
flexibility to control what phone numbers and/or emails are contacted from<br />
the schools and district.<br />
Supplies List<br />
A great way to start the school year is to have your child prepared.<br />
Elementary schools have compiled a master list of supplies needed for<br />
the beginning of school. The supplies will be collected and stored for<br />
classroom use. Depending on usage, at some point in the year, students<br />
may need to replenish their supplies. Please note, teachers may ask for<br />
additional supplies during the year that may be specific to their classroom<br />
needs. To review the list by grade level, please visit<br />
http://www.cmcss.net/documents/pdf/schoolsupplylist.pdf<br />
Environmentally Safe <strong>Schools</strong><br />
In compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard<br />
Emergency Response Act (AHERA), public notification of the School System’s status for<br />
asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) is required. Since the completion of the original<br />
abatement work in 1987, no other ACBM has been discovered. To prevent the remaining<br />
asbestos from being disturbed, the school system maintains an EPA required Asbestos Management<br />
Plan and Asbestos Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan. An accredited AHERA<br />
inspector conducts inspections every six months, and required annual reports are submitted to<br />
the Tennessee Department of Education.<br />
Refer any questions related to asbestos management to the Safety Officer at 920-7836. Additionally,<br />
pesticides are used in the schools and on the grounds by a licensed, certified professional.
CMCSS Facts<br />
The <strong>Clarksville</strong>-<strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>County</strong> School System has a focused effort on<br />
improving student achievement for the 31,215 pre-kindergarten through twelfth<br />
grade students it serves. CMCSS continues to be recognized nationally for its<br />
academic and professional achievements as well as its progressive methods for<br />
helping students succeed.<br />
School system employees are focused on personalization – meaning<br />
that they work to understand the individual needs of each student and try<br />
to accommodate those needs. There is a shared belief throughout the school<br />
system that every child can learn and succeed.<br />
CMCSS continues to develop and strengthen a variety of programs for<br />
ensuring student success. After-school programs, innovative approaches<br />
in programs like virtual high school and credit recovery, as well as other<br />
intervention and transition programs for children in elementary, middle and<br />
high school give students greater learning advantages and provide them with<br />
opportunities to stay on track with their peers. With increased rigor in academic<br />
areas, students on all learning levels can benefit. CMCSS schools often<br />
are visited by educational organizations from across the country because of<br />
continued innovative practices with students. Thinking outside of the box,<br />
the school system started freshmen academies in each of the high schools,<br />
a Middle College High School on the campus of Austin Peay State University,<br />
a four-year academy for Science Technology Engineering Mathematics<br />
(STEM) housed within Kenwood High School.<br />
As the seventh largest school district in Tennessee and the second fastest<br />
growing city of its size in the nation, CMCSS has worked to keep up with<br />
growth by overseeing the construction of new schools and remodeling of existing<br />
schools. The system’s thirty-seventh school, Carmel Elementary, opens<br />
this year; and, a $20 million reconstruction was completed at <strong>Montgomery</strong><br />
Central High School. Another new elementary school, Pisgah Elementary,<br />
will open in 2014, and a major renovation of Northwest High School began<br />
in the summer. Approximately thirty percent of the students served in the<br />
school system are military dependents – nearly twice as many as are served at<br />
Fort Campbell <strong>Schools</strong>.<br />
CMCSS is one of a distinguished group of school districts that has earned<br />
whole district accreditation from AdvancEd. In June 2012, the School System<br />
was recommended for ISO-9001:2008 Certification which is an international<br />
standard for quality management recognized by professional organizations and<br />
industries worldwide. Student graduation rates have risen steadily over the last<br />
six years and was 93.5 percent, among the highest in the state.<br />
2012-13 projected student enrollment – 31,215<br />

100% Graduation Project<br />
When a community believes in something and takes responsibility for making<br />
it happen, great things can take place. That is the case when a group<br />
of school system employees and several community business representatives<br />
and elected officials joined to form the 100% Graduation Project Team.<br />
More than 100 businesses, civic and faith-based organizations have signed<br />
up to be a part of the 100% Graduation Initiative which is now celebrating<br />
its third year.<br />
The vision for graduation must begin early for students. Reading on grade<br />
level is so important at a young age that the state of Tennessee plans the<br />
number of prisons it will build based on the reading level of children in the<br />
third grade. The majority of all inmates in state and federal prisons are high<br />
school dropouts. By supporting 100% graduation in our community, people<br />
are supporting:<br />
• A safer community<br />
• An improved quality of life<br />
• A stronger economy<br />
• A brighter future<br />
The CMCSS graduation rate moved from 78.5% in 2006 to 85.7% in 2007,<br />
to 88.3% in 2008, to 90.8% in 2009, 91% in 2010 and 93.5% in 2011. These<br />
results came from the focus and hard work of our students, teachers, administrators,<br />
support staff, parents and community members who support the<br />
schools.<br />
For more information on the 100% Graduation Project Team, please contact<br />
Candy Johnson at 920-7955 or candy.johnson@cmcss.net.<br />

courses using an online content and one on one instruction delivery system.
Twelve Great Things About CMCSS<br />
1. Preparing students<br />
for the world of work<br />
Whether or not ‘farm livin’ is the place for them,<br />
<strong>Montgomery</strong> Central High School students get the<br />
opportunity to learn from the chores, fresh air and land<br />
spreading out far and wide in the school’s agricultural<br />
classroom. The Career Technical Education (CTE) class<br />
offers hands-on learning from taking care of livestock<br />
to welding farm equipment.<br />
CMCSS is committed to giving students across the<br />
district unique career focused opportunities. When<br />
students experience relevant work in CTE programs<br />
such as this one, it gives them focus and reasons to<br />
stay in school and graduate<br />

2. Reading IS everything<br />
Discovering a love for reading is the dream every<br />
school librarian has for his or her students. When<br />
a student knows how to read confidently, it opens<br />
the doors to so many new worlds and it is the key<br />
to learning in all subjects.<br />
CMCSS places a special emphasis on literacy, with<br />
a 90-minute block of time dedicated to reading<br />
every day in all elementary schools. Middle school<br />
students have reading interwoven into their days.<br />

3. Exceptional teachers<br />
What makes a brand new teacher great? There are<br />
many answers to that question, but in CMCSS, having<br />
an experienced teacher show you the way is the first<br />
step. The Teacher Mentor Program matches successful<br />
teachers with new teachers to offer guidance and be a<br />
sounding board. Pictured here, teacher mentor Elaine<br />
Price takes the time to share a few insights with<br />

4. A patriotic community<br />
Many school systems across the country are patriotic,<br />
but CMCSS has a special connection to patriotism.<br />
With more than 25 percent of the student population<br />
being military dependents and many CMCSS staff<br />
married to soldiers, this school system holds a special<br />
place of pride in our military. The school community<br />
has widened its understanding of the needs of<br />
military dependents and we are proud to serve those<br />
who serve our country.<br />

exceptional programs<br />
The fastest growing group of students in CMCSS is<br />
those with special needs. In the past year, the system<br />
has experienced a 40% increase in pre-kindergarten<br />
students with autism. There are about 6,100 students,<br />
ages 3-21, enrolled in CMCSS. The system has a legal<br />
and moral obligation to ensure each of these students<br />
receives an appropriate and quality education through<br />
a number of specialized programs which help them<br />
reach their potential.<br />

and on the court<br />
Competition didn’t only happen on the basketball<br />
court for last year’s graduating class of <strong>Clarksville</strong> High<br />
girls basketball players. For a number of students in<br />
CMCSS, athletics gives students an opportunity to<br />
excel in sports while paying close attention to their<br />
academics. What resulted at CHS were five girls from<br />
the Lady Wildcats team receiving Division 1 college<br />
scholarships. Tiasha Gray to APSU; Jessy Ward to<br />
Mississippi State; Bashaara Graves to UT-Knoxville;<br />
Chandler Cooper to University of Florida; and Tia<br />
Nicholson (not pictured) to Tennessee Tech.<br />

The average American uses seven trees a year in paper,<br />
wood, and other products made from trees. This amounts<br />
to about 2,000,000,000 trees per year!

7. Art and History<br />
Integrating lessons from social studies into art can<br />
lead students to create relevance to notable historical<br />
dates, such as the recognition of Black History Month.<br />
Northeast Middle School teachers provide opportunities<br />
for students to use their creativity in honoring the<br />
month and how it affects their own lives. Doing all of<br />
this brings great value and understanding to everyone.<br />

8. Focus on achievement<br />
Keeping his eye on the ball meant more to recent<br />
grad Alex Poythress than being recognized as Tennessee’s<br />
Mr. Basketball and a McDonald’s All-American.<br />
Alex knew that the gym was only one facet where<br />
success was key – he kept focus on his performance<br />
in the classroom as well, being an honors graduate<br />
and a three-time Academic Awards recipient.<br />

Twelve Great Things About CMCSS<br />
9. Agriculture becomes<br />
STEM frontier<br />
Looking for opportunities to make teaching Science, Technology,<br />
Engineering and Math applicable and relevant,<br />
CMCSS teachers and administrators worked with the University<br />
of Tennessee Agriculture Extension Office and local<br />
farmer Phillip Morris Baggett to show students just how<br />
much science and math takes place on a farm. For most<br />
students who had never been on a farm, they saw the<br />
critical need of applying science and math for the future of<br />
U.S. agriculture and the feeding of the population.<br />
While students from the STEM Academy at Kenwood<br />
High School were the first to visit the farm, science<br />
teachers from across the system also got involved and<br />
are using what they learned in their classrooms this year.<br />

10. 100% Graduation<br />
With everything there is change, but one thing remains<br />
the same in our district: CMCSS continues to be committed<br />
to every student graduating.<br />
When students graduate ready for the world – whether<br />
college- or career-bound, it makes an enormous difference<br />
in a community’s well-being. The economic base is stronger<br />
and the community is safer. More than 100 local businesses<br />
have signed up to support this commitment.<br />

11. ASE Certified<br />
Bus Maintenance<br />
Every year, children in our district travel more than<br />
3.2 million miles on school buses. Having the very<br />
best mechanics is essential to our district’s ability<br />
to maintain a fleet of safe vehicles. Ensuring that<br />
students are delivered to and from school on time<br />
and safely is critical. CMCSS’s diesel vehicle mechanics<br />
have worked hard to hone their skills to earn<br />
the district Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)<br />
certification.<br />
What does this mean? Our mechanics are held to high<br />
standards and must stay up to date on the very best<br />
way to maintain a bus. .<br />

12. Good stewards financially<br />
and environmentally<br />
Part of being a good student is being a good<br />
citizen, and one of the best ways to be a good<br />
citizen is to be environmentally conscious. CMCSS<br />
has and continues to make great efforts to<br />
promote opportunities for students and staff to<br />
‘go green.’<br />
Students at Burt Elementary do not look at their<br />
recycling duties as a burden, but as a solemn<br />
responsibility to keep their school and planet<br />
green.<br />
