Mrs. Stewart's News

Hello Cougar families,
We had a wonderful first week of school! It is so great to have our students back in the building and to see the energy and excitement they bring each day.
Thank you to our families for working with your students to help ensure they arrive at school on time and ready to learn. Our students have done a great job settling into their routines, and the school spirit throughout the building has been fantastic!
A special thank-you to everyone who participated in our first pop-up assembly this week. It was so much fun to see students and staff smiling, singing, laughing, and enjoying time together. These are the moments that remind us what it means to be Better Together!
A special shout-out to Mr. Spry and Mr. Jaecks for helping pull it all together and making the assembly such a success!
What a great way to start the 2026–2027 school year! Go Cougars! 🐾

As always, please contact the school office if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a wonderful school year! We can't wait to see everyone on Tuesday!
One Pride. One Purpose. Better Together.

Mr. Spry's News

Helllooo Cougars,
What an amazing first week back at school! The smiles, the energy, the connections between our students and staff, and just the overall fun we had during these first four days made this week a huge success.
Thank you to all of our families for sending your students to school ready to learn, have fun, and build relationships with our staff. We truly appreciate your support and partnership.
There is already so much positive energy throughout our Junior Senior High, and I can’t wait to see where we take it from here. We have an incredible year ahead of us, and I know the very best is yet to come.
Let’s keep it going, Cougars! We are Better Together!
For parents who pick up their student(s) at the end of the school day. Please form TWO lines on the edges of the driveway (see diagram). We will utilize the middle section of the driveway for the exit out of the pick up lines. This will also ensure the driveway is more visible for all, and our students get to you safely at the end of the school day. Thank you for your support with this as well!
Weekly Roar

The AD’s Huddle

We are officially into the second week of September, and Cougar Athletics is in full swing! It has been great to see our student-athletes competing, improving, and representing Clinton with pride both on and off the field and court.
As we move through the season, I want to remind everyone that how we support our teams matters. Our student-athletes feed off the energy of our fans, and we encourage everyone to help create a positive, respectful, and welcoming atmosphere at all Cougar events. Cheer loudly, support all of our athletes, respect our opponents and officials, and remember that we are all part of One Team. One Mission. One Cougar Family.
Thank you to our coaches, student-athletes, families, staff, volunteers, and community members for the continued support of Clinton Athletics. Your commitment and enthusiasm help make Cougar Athletics something special.
Thank you for your continued support of Clinton Cougar Athletics!

The RIGHT way to ROAR

Attendance at CJHS Football Games

Good afternoon, 

We appreciate everyone's support at our Friday Night football games! In preparation for these events, we would like to remind you of our expectations for students and families for our home sporting events. 

For Elementary School Students 
  1. Must attend with a parent or guardian
  2. Children must remain directly supervised by their parent/guardian.  This means if the parent is seated in the stands, children are expected to be seated in the stands as well.  If parents are standing along the fence or at other locations in the facility, their children must be located within 3 feet.
  3. Footballs or other objects that have the potential to harm other spectators are not permitted.  Please do not bring these items as you will not be allowed to enter with them.  In no circumstance will prohibited items be “stored” or “secured” by District staff.
  4. No re-entry is permitted once you leave the gated area. 

Clinton Jr./Sr. High School Students
  1. Free admission with Student ID.
  2. Must sit in the Clinton student section or be seated with a parent/guardian.
  3. Cheer loudly for Clinton and not against the opponent.  Positivity and respect are expected.
  4. No backpacks or similar bags are permitted.  In no circumstance will prohibited items be “stored” or “secured” by District staff.
  5. No re-entry is permitted once you leave the gated area.

Visiting Team High School Students
  1. Free admission with Student ID.
  2. Must sit in the visiting team’s student section or be seated with a parent/guardian.
  3. Cheer loudly for their team and not against Clinton.  Positivity and respect are expected.
  4. No backpacks or similar bags are permitted.  In no circumstance will prohibited items be “stored” or “secured” by District staff.
  5. No re-entry is permitted once you leave the gated area. 

Non-Affiliated High School Aged Students
  1. Must pay admission to enter.
  2. Attendees must be high school age or older. A valid photo ID must be presented at the gate (driver’s license, passport, or student ID) to verify age. No entry without a valid ID. 
  3. No re-entry is permitted once you leave the gated area. 

The purpose of these policies is to be responsive to prior incidents of injury, behavior, and supervision.  While our intention is not to deprive students of the opportunity to play or attend, the purpose for attending football games is to be an active spectator.  We simply do not have the capacity to supervise children playing in a sufficient manner.  Further, jr./sr. high school aged students who do not currently attend Clinton or the opposing team present increased management concerns as school disciplinary matrices don’t apply.  As a result, we are often forced to rely on law enforcement as a means of managing student misbehavior.

If you have questions regarding any of these policies or practices, please contact the jr./sr. high school office.  

Thank you for your continued support of Clinton Athletics!
