Kids Connection Registration
Kids Connection registration begins on June 1.
This is the online registration link: http://weblink.donorperfect.com/newyear
Please note that you will need to register using a desktop computer as opposed to your phone or tablet. Also, it may be helpful for you to visit our website and download the Registration Worksheet prior to starting the registration process. By doing so, you will have all the information you need to register and you will avoid the risk of "timing out of the registration" while you are trying to gather information.
If you have any questions, please email Jessica Kolos at cjkolos@clarkston.k12.mi.us
Other before/after school childcare that provide transportation to and from PKE if Kids Connection becomes full:
- Lil Peoples Place (248) 620-8600
- The Learning Experience (248) 625-5285
- Heartfelt Impressions (248) 620-9032
2019-2020 Yearbook Information
Due to the closure of school since early March, the publication of our 2019-2020 PKE yearbook was delayed. We look to receive the yearbooks this summer and will hand-out yearbooks to students upon returning to school this fall. Yearbooks will be mailed out to all current 5th grade students. If your child will not be returning to PKE (and is not a current 5th grader) please e-mail Mrs. Pike (vlpike@clarkston.k12.mi.us) to let her know your change of address.
