The time has finally arrived! 
After months of committee meetings, Open Houses, and countless discussions with architects and builders, we’re ready to see the fruits of our hard work.
Weather permitting, the Clarkson Building Project will officially begin the week of September 22nd. We kicked things off with a successful Groundbreaking Ceremony on Thursday, September 18th, which saw an excellent community turnout.
The project will be completed in phases:
Phase 1: Construction of the new elementary building by the old gym.
Phase 2: Addition of new offices by the gym entrance along with the enclosure of the area between the original building and the 2003 addition. During this phase we will also have a light remodel of the original 1953 building. This phase will start after Phase 1 has started.
Phase 3: The tearing down of our current elementary building and building of a new shop along with several high school classrooms. This is tentatively to start in May of 2026 at the end of the 2025-26 school year. The completion date of Phase 3 is planned to be ready for the 2026-27 school year.
We’re excited to watch these plans take shape and look forward to sharing progress updates along the way!

Attention Parents!
Due to construction, please review the flow of traffic instructions for pickup and dropoff to ensure the safety and efficiency of our students.
For student dropoff and pickup please use the WEST entrance off of the spur to enter and exit. Continue using the one-way flow of traffic by the bus drop off doors.
For students who walk to school, the north and northeast doors will not NOT be accessible, please use the lobby doors or west doors by the lunch room.
If you have an elementary student who walks home, and are concerned about the construction zones, we can bus them one block from the school to the corner of 5th and Maple street. Reach out to your child's teacher if you choose this option. If you have any last minute changes, please let the office know by 3:00.
For high school students, they need to enter and exit the parking lot using the north drive and park on the rock.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
Here is the parking and drop off/ pick up plan for during construction.

Hopefully everyone’s summer is going well and everyone is gearing up for Czech Days Activities festivities at the end of the month.
I wanted to update everyone on the Clarkson Public Schools building project. We have switched into the last phase of design for the building as our architects (CWP) and builders (BD) have been working with staff and engineers on putting the final touches on the classrooms and facilities. The goal is to have the design phase completed in mid-July so the plans can go out for bids. Once the bids are in and the vendor selection process has been completed the current goal is to be able to start construction in late August on the PK-3 building which will be the initial phase of the building project.
Besides the design phase work with CWP and BD, we have been busy with other projects that need to be done for the building project. The school has purchased a lot of land to the west of the school. This lot purchase will allow us to increase our staff parking lot as we will be losing some parking in front of the lobby during the project. It will also allow us to create a better driving lane for delivery trucks and improve traffic flow around the school.
We have also been working with multiple playground companies as we build a new elementary playground. The new playground will be located on the north side of the building beside the new elementary building. Besides working with the different companies we have met with the Clarkson City Council and they have agreed to be involved in our grant writing as we write grants to help fund the playground.
I will update everyone again in August!!

Nebraska law requires children entering Kindergarten, 7th grade, or transferring from an out-of-state school to provide proof of vision evaluation within 6 months prior to school entrance. This evaluation is to include testing for ambylopia, strabismus, internal and external eye health, and visual acuity. This basically means: 1. Out of state transfer students, Kindergarteners, and 7th graders must get a physical and vision exam prior to the start of school. 2. Regarding the vision exam: The elements of this eye exam can be done by any health care provider (including MDs, ODs, PAs, APRNs) and DOES NOT require an eye specialist. Of course an exam by an eye specialist is also acceptable, but it is . . .
