A Note from Mrs. Cureton:

We had a blast celebrating the hard work and positive attitudes our 3rd-5th graders have shown this year at our STAAR pep rally today! Check out our Facebook page for pictures of this fun celebration. Good luck to all of our 3rd-5th testers the next 2 weeks!

STAAR testing dates:

Tuesday, April 16th--3rd-5th Reading STAAR
Thursday, April 18th--5th Science STAAR
Tuesday, April 23rd--3-5 Math STAAR

Please note that on STAAR testing days, our campus will be closed to visitors for lunches, meetings, etc.

Yearbook orders have been extended! Please order your yearbook now so that your student can participate in grade level signing days!

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).

Pizza by the Slice: Friday, April 19th. 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, April 17th @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.

Please note the end of the year events below and mark your calendars to come out and enjoy these events with your student!

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…)
