Cougar Connection Newsletter

A Note from Mrs. Cureton:

Thank you to all who attended Math, Makers, & More last night! We had a great time engaging in some fun learning activities and enjoying yummy pancakes with you all! Huge thank you to our amazing PTA for organizing and providing the pancake dinner & to our teachers for gathering and preparing the activities for this fun event! 

Our middle of the year assessment windows have now come to a close and we are excited to share the amazing growth our Cougars are achieving. You should receive your student's middle of the year growth report home no later than Friday (2/2). If you do not receive this report or have any questions, please contact your student's teacher. 

100th day of School-January 31, 2024:  We invite all students to join us in celebrating the 100th day of school! Wear 100 of some items (stickers, buttons, Band-Aids, etc) or dress as an 100 year old! Let's have some fun and celebrate 100 days of learning!

Have a great weekend!

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…)
