A Note from Mrs. Cureton:

We are quickly approaching a 9 day break! Thanksgiving break will be here November 18th-26th-there will be no school that week for students and staff. 

Family Movie Night: We have our first Family Movie Night of the year coming up on Friday, November 10th @6:30pm. We will be showing Horton Hears a Who & have some fun craft activities for kids to enjoy. Bring your entire family out to enjoy this fun, free event! PTA will have concessions for purchase (cash only).

Families in attendance will be entered to win 1 of 2 family fun prize baskets! Be there a few minutes before the show to grab your concessions, enter to win a basket, and complete a craft.  We hope to see all of our families there! 

PTA Meeting: Our PTA will host their November PTA meeting for families to attend right before movie night (November 10th, at 6:00pm) in the café.

PTA Spirit Gear: PTA spirit gear orders have been completed and spirit gear will be delivered to students on campus next week! 

5th Grade Parents: The AVID application window at Hubbard is now open! Follow this link to learn more about the AVID program. To apply for the program, the application can be accessed at this link. 

PE Showcase:  We are excited to have fun in PE with all of you at our bi-annual PE Showcase! This event will take place on the evening of Tuesday, November 14th @Rose Stadium. More details from Coach Johnson coming soon. 

Arrival Procedures

 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!
