College and Career Night Set for September 27th

Clarksville, TN – The annual Clarksville-Montgomery County College/Career Night for current high school students and their parents will be held on Monday, September 27th, 2010 at Austin Peay’s Foy Fitness Center from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

The participating high schools include Clarksville High, CMCSS Middle College, Kenwood High, Montgomery Central High, Northeast High, Northwest High, Rossview High, and West Creek High. Students from local private schools as well as neighboring counties also are invited to attend. Last year, approximately 1,000 students and their parents were in attendance.

This is an event for current students and their parents to informally visit tables and pick up information about colleges and other post secondary institutions.

Knowledge is ‘PowerSchool’ for CMCSS Parents, Students

Instead of signing the dotted line, parents and guardians of CMCSS students should be prepared to just sign on beginning with the first progress report of the year on August 27th. The School System introduced PowerSchool three years ago as an online tool for students and parents to get up-to-date student academic information.

Beginning this school year all progress reports and 9 week grade reports will be available online through PowerSchool, which provides secure and important information about student academic progress. If a parent does not have internet access, hard copies may be requested from a school. Parents who already have a PowerSchool “parent” password, will log into the system for the first time this school year by clicking on “Create an Account” and then follow the directions.
