Parents with students riding the bus to and from school have a new method of keeping up with their child in the morning and in the afternoon.
Clinton Public School District’s Department of Transportation is utilizing The Zonar App that allows parents to keep track of their student’s bus via GPS.
Parents and guardians can download The Zonar App on both Apple and Android devices through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
In order to utilize the app, parents will enter the CPSD School Access Code, CLI3627. Parents and guardians will then search for their student’s bus route.
Once that information is inserted, parents and guardians will need to enter their student’s Student ID number.
For any questions or concerns, parents and guardians can email transportation@clintonpublicschools.com.

| | | Executive Function: The classroom skill we can't afford to ignore | | |
by Kayla Quick Northside Elementary
As an educator, I know that Executive Functioning skills are the exact skills that students sometimes are lacking and can make our jobs feel impossible at times.
After reflecting on my teaching practice, I found that I needed to shift my “teacher mindset.” Instead of hurrying through content, which yes is very important, maybe I needed to focus on these EF skills.
