Thank you to the Osceola Volunteer Fire Department for responding to our fire alarm this afternoon. The kiln overheated but there was never a fire. The new kiln had been tested before, however the combination of a hot kiln and no air condition equates to a fire alarm. All students and staff exited the building safely. Happy Homecoming!

Game Reminders for September 18th football game against Chariton:
We will have two separate lines for entering the football/track complex. The Clarke fans will use the two windows on the north side of the ticket booth. Our guests will use the window on the south side. The single set of bleachers on the home side will NOT be set-aside for Elementary and Middle School students this year. It can be used by any adults, with or without the student they are supervising. Masks are required to enter the football/track complex Friday night. We Highly Recommend spectators to wear masks within our facilities. Students are required to wear masks where social distancing is not possible. Spectators are expected to leave immediately following the conclusion of the game. PK-5 students must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. PK-5 students are the responsibility of that adult and should remain seated/standing next to them during the entire game. Students who are away from their seats may be asked to leave. Students are not allowed to play football or any other games while within the football complex.
Concessions & Admission
