Spring Break

ASPIRE Testing

Clarksville Academy’s testing season is nearing! We will be testing through ACT’s assessment system, ACT Aspire, as the summative assessment for 3rd through 10th grades. This assessment has replaced EXPLORE and PLAN tests, as ACT is discontinuing the use of the EXPLORE and PLAN assessments.

ACT Aspire is a digital and longitudinal assessment system that will connect our student’s performance to their college readiness. The Aspire is linked to ACT’s college readiness standards and will serve as an integral part of our student’s success.

During the month of April, Clarksville Academy will administer the ACT Aspire to all students in the 3rd through 10th grade. Students in grades 3rd through 8th
will take the paper version of the Aspire test and students in grades 9th
and 10th will test using the computer-based version of the Aspire.

The ACT Aspire will be administered during the mornings of the following dates:
 
3rd – 5th grades Monday, April 20th through Friday, April 24th

6th – 10th grades Monday, April 20th and Friday, April 24th

 

iCougar App

We encourage everyone with an apple device to download the iCougar app today. This is a great way to stay updated with all the latest in school closings, emergency notifications, etc. If you already have the app, please make sure to go to the app store and update it! A new update was released in January. We are currently investigating the Android market and hope to have it available there soon.

 

Attendance

Please contact Kristi Truitt at ktruitt@clarksvilleacademy.com when your child is going to be out of school. This helps us to keep our attendance records up to date. If you know your child will be late due to an appointment please let us know that as well. Thank you.

 

Photos

If you take photos at any of our sporting events or campus events and would like to share your shots, please send them to Sally Allen at sallen@clarksvilleacademy.com. These can be used on our website, Facebook page, athletics site or even the yearbook. We ask that you send photos promptly following the activity. Thank you!

Expanding the Experience

Clarksville Academy is still very excited about our expansion plans! As you can see a new expansion which opened Feb 2015 is adjacent to the main building. This expansion is really booming on the north end of our campus and we are thrilled with the process! In this expanded part of the main building we have the opportunity for a few more classrooms to be named. We have had a few families reserve naming rights on some of the classrooms, but still have a couple left. If you are interested in honoring or memorializing someone in this way, please contact Sally Allen at sallen@clarksvilleacademy.com or 647-6311. These won’t last long.

Our hope is to have the new building shown below completed by 2020. We need your help do this! Contact Sally Allen at sallen@clarksvilleacademy.com to find out what you can do to help us reach our goal.
