Destination Imagination Fundraiser
Clark is so proud of the 8th grade Destination Imagination team composed of Saraya Patel, Abigail Dutra and Max Hodes. These students have independently prepared and won first place at local and state competitions. Now they are headed to Internationals in Missouri at the end of May. They have designed the following fundraising efforts to help off-set the cost of travel, lodging, and food while at the competition. Please consider helping our Clark students as they strive for excellence!

If you can’t make it for store days, you can donate items for the store. Some most requested items are: lunch sized containers of Pringles, Takis, fruit roll-ups, gushers and ring pops. Please label all donations “Pride Store -PTA” and drop them off in the front office.
Nurse's Corner
Attention 6th Grade Parents:
Over the next several weeks, Nurse Thornton will be going through shot records and if any immunization is found to be missing, this letter will be mailed home. You can email, fax or drop off an updated copy of your student’s shot record to the school at any time. The updated shot record is not due until schedule pickup in the fall. Please note that your student will not be able to pick up their fall schedule without an updated shot record on file and your student will not be allowed to attend school without an updated shot record on file.
Please let Nurse Thornton know if you have any questions at thorntok@friscoisd.org or 469-633-4608. Her fax number is 469-633-4628.
Flu Notification:
Absence Notification: Parents, please let the school know when your student will be absent from school. You can email the data clerk at peterssons@friscoisd.org with the information. You can also email her a doctor’s note as well. Please make sure the doctor’s note states all dates your student has missed or will miss. The doctor’s office can also fax the note to 469-633-4650.
