A note from Mrs. Cureton:
We have now wrapped up our 4th week of learning in Cougar Nation! What a great 4 weeks we have had together! If you have not yet seen your student's progress report, please be on the lookout for that document and contact your student's teacher if you have any questions.
We had a great turnout for Grandfriends' Day! Thank you to all the Grandfriends that were able to join us this morning!
Open House will take place on Thursday, September 22nd, from 5:30pm-6:30pm. There will be two sessions provided for each grade level so that you have the opportunity to visit more than one grade level, if needed, for your family. Session 1 will take place, in all grade levels, from 5:30-5:55. Session 2 will take place, in all grade levels, from 6:00-6:30. Please make plans to join us and learn more about academic expectations & how you can best support your student this year! Sweet Tea's Cookie truck will be on site for a sweet treat!
Our PTA supports several of the events happening on campus this year. We encourage all of our families to join the Clarkston PTA-moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and even grandparents can join! Your $7 yearly membership goes directly back into supporting Clarkston students. As a PTA member, you can choose your level of involvement-whether that’s simply paying your annual membership fee or helping PTA plan school events such as the fall carnival, field day, class parties, and other fun events on campus. Please click on the "JOIN PTA" link to join: JOIN PTA
Have a great weekend!
-Sarah Cureton, Principal

PTA Membership Contest:
Thanks to the 30 parents and staff members who are already members of the Clarkston PTA. We would love to have many more, so we’re sponsoring a fun contest.
Each grade level will earn 1 extra minute of recess for every PTA membership completed online until open house. For example, if 3rd grade gets 30 more PTA members, then all of 3rd grade gets an extra 30-minute recess. Deadline is Sept 22nd.
