A Note from Mrs. Cureton:
Thank you to all who came out to our PTA Fall Festival last Friday! We had a great time having fun with all of our Cougars and families! This week's highlights include the Pre-K & Deaf Ed pumpkin patch field trip, Red Ribbon Week, & the Book Character Parade. Be sure to check out our Facebook page for pictures and videos of the events.
Family Movie Night: We have our first Family Movie Night of the year coming up on Friday, November 10th. We will have concessions, a great movie (to be revealed soon!), and family activities at this event. Please mark your calendars and make plans to attend. We hope to see all of our families there!
Costumes: We loved seeing all of the character costumes at the Book Character Parade today! Students will not be in costume on October 31st. Please do not send your student to school in a costume.
Kona Ice Day: Friday, November 3rd. Online orders are now open. We encourage you to pay online to ensure your student gets a sno cone. Be on the lookout for the Kona flyer coming home on Tuesday, October 31st.
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!
