Reading is Something to Cheer About for Montgomery Central Students
October 1, 2010
Clarksville, TN – The twice national varsity cheerleading champions from Montgomery Central High School plan to give younger students some reading skills to shout about.
The cleverly titled ‘CheeReader’ program will launch next week with MCHS’s 12 varsity and nine junior varsity cheerleaders spending time with beginning readers at Montgomery Central Elementary School. The girls will read one to two books to the students they are paired with, ask the younger students questions concerning the book’s plot and help reinforce the the standards teachers are working on.
Leighana Morrison, a Montgomery Central High cheerleader, reads to elementary students as part of the “CheeReader” program.
Knowledge is ‘PowerSchool’ for CMCSS Parents, Students
August 17, 2010
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. The link is https://powerschool.cmcss.net/public/. [Read more]

Central Art Teachers Exhibit Work at Austin Peay Downtown Gallery
June 9, 2010
For 16 years, Vicki Ranck has taught art to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders at Montgomery Central Middle School, and she relies on her experience as an Austin Peay State University alumnus to motivate the young artists in her classroom.
“We had an excellent art program and professors at our disposal at APSU,” she said. “I tell (the students) my room is set up like a ‘mini’ APSU in that there are centers of study to explore.”
Ranck’s analogy of a “mini APSU” however extends beyond her classroom to encapsulate the three campuses off Highway 49 that make up Montgomery Central Elementary, Middle and High schools. Or rather, a “mini APSU art department” resides in those buildings because Ranck is one of four APSU alumni teaching art at those schools. [Read more]
