In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Department of Education has released grants for which local education agencies (K-12) can use to address learning loss related to COVID-19.
The Clarkston School District is seeking feedback from all district and community stakeholders to help determine how the district should best utilize ESSER Funds to address unfinished learning, ongoing COVID-19 recovery, and Federal Program grant funds. The ESSER III grant stipulates that districts use the money to address learning loss outside of school hours through the implementation of evidence-based interventions and
ensure that those interventions respond to students’ social, emotional, and academic needs.
Please take time to let us know your thoughts by completing the brief survey.
This survey will remain open now through December 10, 2021.
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE SAFETY SURVEY
The
City of Clarkston is evaluating the pedestrian routes around CHS,
Parkway Elementary, Grantham Elementary, and Holy Family School, in
order to recommend improvements that will provide increased safety for
all users during the school year. We would like your feedback on the
existing conditions and other thoughts you might have. If you live,
work, or own a business that is located within these areas, we'd
appreciate hearing from you. Surveys will close on December 10, 2021.
Thank you.

SCREENING TESTING FOR SPORTING ACTIVITIES
- To ensure safe participation in athletics, schools must institute screening testing protocols for unvaccinated athletes, coaches, trainers, and other personnel who work with athletes in high-risk indoor sports.
- Screening testing is required for all unvaccinated athletes in high-risk indoor sports (basketball, wrestling, water polo, and indoor cheer). Fully vaccinated athletes do not have to participate in screening testing. Screening testing of unvaccinated participants must be performed twice weekly using a molecular or antigen test.
- A rapid antigen test must be performed on all unvaccinated athletes either the day before or the day of the competition.
- The second test during the week should be performed 3-4 days prior to or after the competition and may be a molecular or antigen test.

CSD CENTRALIZED ENROLLMENT
In the Fall of 2021, Clarkston School District implemented centralized enrollment. This means that families new to the area or choicing into the district (transitional kindergarten through sixth grade), will need to contact Inga McCarter at the district office (509) 758-2531. Inga will collect registration information and assign students to a school.
