Now is the time to order your yearbook! Yearbook orders close soon!
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.

April 8th Solar Eclipse: Thanks for our amazing PTA, all of our students and staff will receive a pair of approved solar eclipse glasses on April 8th. Our teachers have many fun, educational opportunities planned for this date to ensure our students have memorable, safe, and engaging memories from this day. We are looking for volunteers to help out in our PK-2 classrooms so that our younger students can safely enjoy the eclipse. If you are a parent of a PK-2 student and would like to come help your child's class during the eclipse viewing (approximately 1:30-2:00pm), please contact your student's teacher.
Have a great weekend!

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…)
