May Calendar
Because there are so many events in May I wanted to share the calendar now. Links to RSVP for parties and awards will be sent out next week.
Action Items
Background Checks
With many field trips and end of the year events coming up, make sure you have completed a background check for this year. It can take a week or so for them to fully process, so get them done now!
Background checks need to be completed each school year. Having this done will ensure you can attend field trips, class parties, and all the fun we will have at Clark.Here is the direct link to the background checks.
School Reminders
Cafeteria is Closed to Visitors
Due to STAAR testing and other campus activities, the cafeteria is closed to visitors for the remainder of the school year. Please let anyone who may come eat lunch with your student know, such as grandparent's, aunts & uncles, etc. We hate to turn people away, but we cannot allow them to have lunch. Thank you for your help!
Transportation Changes
All transportations changes must be done through the front office. Letting the teacher know is great, but the only people that make the official change is the front office. Please call them by 2:00pm each day to make any and all changes.
