Support for Military Connected Families
Support for Military Connected Families
The Amanda-Clearcreek Local School District recognizes that students of military families have unique needs and wishes to provide them as much support as possible.
The Amanda-Clearcreek Local School District appreciates the sacrifices that our men and women in the military make every day. In an effort to increase resources and lessen the burden of service to these families, Amanda-Clearcreek has established a single point of contact for military families and is providing this webpage as a repository for helpful resources. All staff members within the Amanda-Clearcreek Local School District will receive annual training in order to understand and better support the challenges of military families.
Each year, our school district is proud to host Veteran's Day events in every school recognizing the importance and honoring the sacrifices made by our current and former military community members. In addition to annual recognition events, Amanda-Clearcreek High School maintains a recognition wall in the cafetorium. The high school also actively works with local veteran service organizations in order to award diplomas to veterans who were unable to complete high school due to their military service obligations.
If you have specific questions or needs regarding support for military connected students, please reach out to our contacts below.
