A Note from Mrs. Cureton:
We had a great week at Clarkston! We celebrated some goal getters this week and reflected on the importance of Veterans Day and the impact veterans have made in our lives. Thank you to all of our veterans in Cougar Nation for your service and sacrifice. We appreciate you!
Family Movie Night: We have our first Family Movie Night of the year TONIGHT, November 10th @6:30pm. We are so excited to see you all there! 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!

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!
