A note from Mrs. Cureton:

We had a great turnout for our Grandfriends Day event and loved having our grandfriends on campus! Thank you all for another great week at Clarkston! 

PTA--families: we need your help to reach our goal of 60 PTA members this year! 

What is a PTA member? A PTA member is any adult who follows this link and pays the $8.50 membership fee to join. That's all you have to do! Your membership directly supports our Clarkston PTA & our Clarkston PTA directly supports your students! There are no strings attached to joining PTA & you get a variety of discounts to many national companies. See the discounts here.

Please join now! Follow this link to join, select Tyler ISD as the district & Horace H. Clarkston as the school! 

Go Gold Day: 

We invite all of our staff and students to join us in "going gold" Friday, September 15th to raise awareness for childhood cancer. Please wear yellow or gold on Friday as we represent and celebrate childhood cancer warriors and heroes. 

Open House: 

Open House will take place on Wednesday, September 20th, from 5:15pm-6:30pm. Please make plans to join us and learn more about academic expectations & how you can best support your student this year! Kona Ice will be on campus for a cold treat! 

2nd grade will also be performing at this event--5:15pm in the Clarkston cafe! Please join us to see their special performance to honor Deaf Awareness Month. 

Arrival Procedures:

All students should enter campus through the cafeteria doors each morning. Only students and staff are allowed to enter through the cafeteria doors. Breakfast will be served in the cafeteria, and is free to all students, from 7:00am-7:45am. Any student arriving to campus after 7:50am will need to have a parent walk them in through the front entrance doors. 

Dismissal Procedures: 

Parents should complete an After-School Action Plan(with classroom teacher) so that teachers and staff have a written plan for each student.  Parents must call the front office or submit a written request for student dismissal changes by 2:30 p.m. each day. 

Students in grades pre-k, kindergarten, and first will not be allowed to dismiss as "walkers". They must have an older sibling at Clarkston to walk home with them. 

Parents may pick up their child by signing him/her out through the office (before 2:30pm).  Students will be released only to persons listed for student pick-up.  Anyone picking up a student shall be required to show valid identification.  When possible, schedule appointments during non-school times (After school, Student Holidays…)

Have a great  weekend!
