A Note from Mrs. Cureton:

We have arrived at Winter Break! I hope that all of you have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends. May your holiday be blessed and restful! 

When we return from the break, we look forward to middle of the year benchmark testing for iReady & mClass...excited to see the growth your student has made from the beginning of the year!  Please be on the lookout, around mid-January, for your student's middle of the year growth report coming home and reach out if you have any questions.

Have a wonderful break! See everyone back at school on Wednesday, January 3, 2024!

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…)
