A Note from Mrs. Cureton:
Wowzers!! We have had the best week celebrating some AMAZING growth on campus this week! Currently, we are 69% (reading) & 67% (math) of our way towards our goal of 100% of our students achieving their typical growth in Reading & Math iReady by the end of the year. Thank you, families, for supporting your students in their learning at school this year. We appreciate & are grateful for the partnership with families in being our best for our kids!

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…)
