📢 REMINDER: Early Release Wednesdays for Teacher PLC Collaboration Begins September 10th

Beginning Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Clarkston School District will implement a weekly one-hour early release on scheduled Wednesdays.

👉 What families need to know:
• Schools will release one hour earlier on scheduled Wednesdays.
• Schools start times stay the same.

This change provides our teachers with dedicated time for Professional Learning Community (PLC) collaboration and district inservice. By working together, teachers can:
