Attention parents of students entering 7th & 12th grade:
The Iowa Department of Public Health has made changes to the Iowa Immunization law that started at the beginning in the 2017-2018 school year. This change requires that all students entering, advancing or transferring into 7th grade will need proof of one dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACWY) and a Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis/whooping cough) booster. All students entering, advancing, or transferring into 12th grade will need proof of two doses of the meningococcal (A, C W, Y) vaccine (or 1 dose if received when the applicant was 16 years of age or older).
Students must have proof of the above vaccine requirements before school starts in August, unless the student has a Certificate of Immunization Exemption. There will be no grace period or extensions given. For further information, you may visit www.idph.iowa.gov/immtb/immunization/laws. If you have questions or concerns I may be reached by email me at lindy.williams@nlcsd.org.
Thank you,

We will return to our school hours on Thursday nights from 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. on August 22nd. We are continually grateful for all of the support we have received from our community and look forward to supporting our families in any way that we can. Go Tigers!!!

Senior Parents: If you have not voted yet for a date for commencement, please do so as soon as possible so we can get it on the calendar. You were sent an e-mail with the form in late June/early July...thanks! #NLTigerPride
Tiger Football Fans: Clarinda Academy has dropped their football program so we WILL NOT be going there to play on Friday, August 23rd. The activity directors continue to look for a replacement game. Please check back for updates! #NLTigerPride
NL Parents/Guardians: The registration updates are starting to come through and that's awesome! Clark parents have a slight lead over the MS/HS parents for completion so for those people who haven't done eRegistration yet, please set aside a few minutes to do so. The school secretaries will thank you for it! Again, if you would rather not pay the fees online, payment may be dropped off at any office or mailed. #NLTigerPride
The final splash of paint was completed this week! The Clark library got a much needed touch of color and design to create a environment that welcomes READING into our children’s daily routine. We can’t wait to share all the updates on August 22nd when the Clark Elementary opens their doors for Meet the Teacher and an ice cream social night, organized by the PTO. Continue to enjoy the remainder of summer break!
Reminder about JH Sports Meeting Tomorrow! Very important meeting for all Junior High athletes. Spread the word!
Our very own Clark Elementary principal Todd Palmatier was in need of a updated office look. We all know he’s a die hard Cubs fan, so take a look at the design we provided him. Sorry, St. Louis Cardinal fans!
One more week into the summer break and the four elementary Clark rooms keep making great progress. This week flooring arrived and in three days it was all laid and completed for the weekend break. The last few touches will be installing counter tops and hanging the doors to the cabinets. Once again we’ve had great help getting everything done and ready for a new year of school!
Remember food pantry is open Sat 9 to 11 am. Hope I see you there!!!
Attention seventh and eighth grade parents and athletes: There will be a meeting for all seventh and eighth grade students interested in participating in middle school football at 6:30 PM and middle school volleyball at 7 PM on Tuesday, July 16, in the auditorium. We are aware that the current eighth grade class is very small, and we are concerned about numbers for the upcoming school year. This meeting will help us determine 1) if we have enough students to have programs and 2) if we have enough students, how many teams we will be able to have. It is critical that you attend this meeting, and if you cannot attend but want to play, please respond to this post or call or send an email to at ben.fry@nlcsd.org or (319)367-0500, ext. 1204. If you know there are parents or students who will not see this post but who also want to play, please notify them. Thank you! #nltigerpride
