A Note from Mrs. Cureton:
We wrapped up our first 9 weeks of learning with our Leader Assemblies! Loved celebrating our Student of the Month winners from each grade level, A honor roll, AB honor roll, perfect attendance, and iReady mastery students at the assemblies! Check out our Facebook page for pictures of this awesome celebration of growth!
We are excited to see all of our families tonight at the PTA Fall Festival! Be sure to join us from 6pm-7:30pm for a great time!
Next week we celebrate being drug free with Red Ribbon Week. We will conclude our week with our annual Book Character Parade! See details & fliers below to see the dress up days and if you would like to join us on campus for the Book Character Parade!
Fall Festival: Fall Festival, sponsored by PTA, will take place on Friday, October 20th from 6:00pm-7:30pm in the Clarkston front parking lot. The Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat is free! Concessions, face painting, and games will be available for purchase.
Book Character Parade: Friday, October 27th is our annual Book Character Parade! Students and staff are encouraged to dress as their favorite book character! The character of choice must be from a school appropriate book & no masks or weapons will be allowed at school for this event.

Pizza by the Slice: We will be hosting "Pizza by the Slice" days, monthly, as an opportunity for students to purchase a yummy afternoon snack. The pizza slices are the larger slice size and are $2 each. Students must bring cash to pay and pizza money is due no later than October 25th @9am. Please be on the look out for a flyer coming home on Monday, October 23rd with ordering details.
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!
