Cloquet Public Schools
From Rock Your Mocs Day to Parent-Teacher Conferences and the Scholastic Book Fair, there's lots happening!
📅 Check out this week's updates and important reminders below! 💜💛
Area police officers and law enforcement professionals joined our high school students to share their stories about becoming officers, answer questions, and build positive connections with students in a relaxed setting.
Afterward, everyone gathered in the gym to honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day. We were honored to welcome Bebezhigooganzhiins Negamojig – The Little Horse Singers, and Mr. Dold read Cloquet Public Schools’ recently adopted Land Acknowledgment.
It was a meaningful morning of conversation, connection, culture, and community. 💜💛
Our classrooms are buzzing with excitement, curiosity, and hands-on learning! From working together to exploring new skills, our students are building confidence, making connections, and growing every day.
We love seeing those smiling faces and all the wonderful things happening in our classrooms!
Students in Ms. Gagner’s Science Class at Cloquet Middle School have been learning about the life cycle of monarch butterflies and the ecosystems they depend on!
As part of their studies, students conducted a mini-investigation exploring how salt affects milkweed plants and whether it impacts the length and mass of monarch caterpillars.
This hands-on learning experience helped students make real-world connections between science and the environment, including how road salt used during Minnesota winters can impact monarch habitats.
🌿 A great example of science coming to life beyond the classroom!
Cloquet Public Schools will have NO SCHOOL on the following dates:
💜 Monday, October 12 — Indigenous Peoples’ Day
💜Thursday, October 15 & Friday, October 16 — MEA Break
As school counselors, we work with students one-on-one to help them navigate middle school expectations, friendships, and the everyday challenges that come with growing up.
We also offer small groups where students can build skills and find support around topics such as grief, anxiety, friendships, and family changes. In addition, we spend time in classrooms teaching social-emotional and life skills that help students succeed both in and out of school.
Most importantly, we are here as a resource for families too, partnering together to support student growth, well-being, and success.
💜 CMS School Counselors — here to support our students and families.
🧡 Monday, October 5 – Kindness in Chalk
🚶♀️ Wednesday, October 7 – Walk or Roll to School Day
🎂 Friday, October 9 – October Birthday Lunch

The cast and crew are hard at work, practicing every single night to get every note and scene just right for opening night!

🌿 Learning Through Culture & Connection
AIE students from CAAEP went and picked sage. This is the third year that we have harvested our own sage. It is rewarding to watch students put their tobacco out and gather sacred medicines in a good way. Miigwech to Giniw, Cara & Bry for being there in the drizzling cold with them.
Our students are reading, writing, problem-solving, and building new skills together each day. We love seeing these curious minds hard at work and excited to learn!
Did you know Churchill Elementary has a weekly Book Award Program? 💜 Students are nominated by teachers for showing respect, kindness, and a strong work ethic. Award recipients earn a special token to choose a book from Churchill’s book vending machine!
We love celebrating our students for the positive choices they make every day—and sending them home with a new book to enjoy!
Here’s what’s happening at Cloquet Middle School next week! Mark your calendars and have a great week! 💜💛
These little Lumberjacks are already off to a great start at Churchill Elementary. Every day brings new discoveries, new skills, and lots of smiles!
