A Note from Mrs. Cureton...

We have had a busy first week back from Thanksgiving Break!

 We have also had several new Cougars join Cougar Nation this week. If you are a new family to Clarkston-Welcome! We hope that you feel at home on our campus and know that we are here to support, grow, and care for your students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to myself or your student's teacher by emailing us or calling the front office at 903-262-1980.

The next two weeks will be busy with holiday activities...see below for more information and make sure to check your student's backpacks/folders the next two weeks for important information coming home!

Have a great weekend!
