We have now arrived at Spring Break 2024! We had a great week--seeing our kids shine on district benchmark assessments & celebrating their amazing growth! We also celebrated Read Across America Week with special guest readers and fun dress up days! See our Facebook page for some great recaps of our week!

Big Art Day was a blast thanks to our Specials team! Check out pictures of our amazing artists on Facebook!

PTA Movie Night: We have our 2nd annual Family Movie Night of the year coming up on Friday, March 22nd @6:00pm. Gnomeo & Juliet will be showing for your viewing pleasure! Bring your entire family out to enjoy this fun, free event! PTA will have concessions for purchase.

Families in attendance will be entered to win a gift card donated by Rose Heights Community Church! Be there a few minutes before the show to grab your concessions, enter to win a gift card, and shop the book fair. We hope to see all of our families there!

Pizza by the Slice: Friday, March 22nd. Please see the flyer below for our monthly Pizza by the Slice fundraiser. Please note that all pizza money must be turned in by Wednesday, March 20th @11am. We cannot make exceptions to the due date/time due to ordering processes with our pizza vendor. Students are not allowed to have individual pizzas delivered to our front offices on these days. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact me.

2023-2024 Yearbook: Exciting news! We are starting orders for our campus yearbook! This year, the cover of our yearbook will be designed by one of our Clarkston students! If you would like to purchase a yearbook so that your student has a keepsake for the year and can collect signatures from classmates on the last week of school, you can order using the link below. Yearbooks will be delivered to students during the last 2 weeks of school (May 13-24). Online ordering ends April 8, 2024.

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…)
