We’re inviting students to create short, reel‑style videos sharing:
✨ Why they love their teacher(s)
✨ How a teacher or staff member made learning meaningful or memorable
✨ The positive impact teachers and staff have had on their lives
Project Details:
✅ Videos should be 15–30 seconds
✅ Speak directly to the camera or get creative
✅ Selected videos will be shared on district social media during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8).

In response to a recent increase in anonymous and unidentifiable phone calls to our schools, Clovis Municipal Schools is implementing a new measure to enhance campus safety. Effective immediately, any incoming calls that do not display a caller ID or appear as “anonymous” will be automatically blocked from reaching school campuses.
We understand that some callers may intentionally block their number for privacy, but in order to maintain a safe and secure learning environment, we must ensure that all communications can be properly identified and verified. We encourage anyone needing to contact a school to ensure their phone number is visible when calling.
Clovis Municipal Schools to Operate on Remote Learning Schedule Monday, Jan. 26.
Due to forecasted extreme cold and ongoing hazardous road conditions, Clovis Municipal Schools will shift to a Remote Learning schedule on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.
Thanks to preparations made for Friday’s remote learning, students are equipped with Chromebooks and materials to continue learning remotely on Monday.
Operations and Maintenance staff should report at 10 a.m. on Monday to begin preparing buildings and walkways for the safe return of students and staff on Tuesday, Jan. 27.
We appreciate your flexibility and continued commitment to the safety and well-being of our school community.
As we head into winter break next week, we want to send our students and families off with a quick reminder: strong attendance helps students thrive. We’re excited to start 2026 together on the right foot.
Students return on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. Let’s work together to melt away absences and make the new year a season of growth, connection, and great learning.
We hope you enjoy a safe, restful break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in January.
