6th grade students in the Clarkston School District will have the option to participate in the WA State Healthy Youth Survey (HYS). The survey will be conducted between October 9 and October 29.

October Breakfast and Lunch Menu
At approximately 9:00 this morning, Clarkston High School and Parkway Elementary School were placed on a “secure” building protocol due to planned police activity in the area. This means that the doors to the school are locked and students remain in the school with normal activities occurring. At no time were students in any danger and securing the building is done as a proactive safety measure whenever there is police activity near the school that may warrant securing the building.

Air Quality Monitoring: Ensuring the health and safety of our students is our priority. We're keeping an eye on the Air Quality Index (AQI) in our area. Currently, it's at a level considered "unhealthy for sensitive groups." This means we're taking steps to protect students during outdoor activities, especially those with respiratory issues or health concerns. If the AQI level worsens, we'll have indoor recess to minimize their exposure to air pollution. We value physical activity but prioritize their safety. We appreciate your understanding and support.
Join us for our final CHS Bond Feedback Night! Date: Monday, August 21, at 6:00 p.m., location: Educator Support Center, 1294 Chestnut Street. Why Your Input Matters: The 2023 High School Bond was a significant proposal aimed at enhancing our schools and creating a better learning environment for our students. Your thoughts and feedback will help us gain valuable insights into the reasons behind its failure. Your involvement is crucial, and we encourage everyone to participate actively in these sessions. Let's come together and shape the path forward for our schools.
