STAGER, CTSD SUPERINTENDENT: Dear Clinton Township Community Members, The 2023-2024 School Year is in its second month. It is great seeing the growth of our students. In Round Valley, our students are taking advantage of the changes in the season to collect local caterpillars before they go into their cocoons. Students are gathering data, learning about life cycles and gathering flora as part of this learning experience. Please take a moment to look at some of the photos that have been included. At PMG and CTMS, our students are also embarking on new learning adventures. PMG is utilizing the newly refreshed courtyard for lessons and exploration. At CTMS, we have new electives such as digital art, the graphic n o v e l , a n d m e d i a p r o d u c t i o n to help our s t u d e n t s e x p l o r e d i f f e r e n t possibilities before they e n t e r h i g h s c h o o l .
