Locker Clean Out & Lost and Found
This Week....
- Please plan to have your students clean out their lockers and take home items that may no longer be needed or may need to be washed/cleaned.
- Also, please plan a time to bring your students by the Lost and Found in the Main Hallway to see if any of those items have owners.
Chromebooks - Help with Updates
We are in need of your help. With M-Step starting after spring recess, it is necessary to make sure Chromebooks are updated. In order for this to happen, the Chromebooks must be shut down each day.
Updates from Google come through when Chromebooks are turned off. This is not only a good practice during M-Step testing, but it is a good practice on a regular basis. Chromebooks do not work properly when they are not receiving the updates.

The Clarkston Foundation Teacher of the Year nominations are now open! Please consider nominating a deserving Elementary (K-5) Teacher for this year's honor. The nomination packet is posted on Workplace - completed forms are due to Heidi McClain by Friday, April 12.
