    Three cheers to the teachers, staff, room parents, and all the adults in our kiddo's lives that helped make last week's fall parties a success! There were crafts, games, snacks and so many smiles. Welcome to Fall, y'all!

    23/24 Annual Fund!

    The Clark PTO Annual Fund Drive is in Full Swing - JOIN IN!

    Did your kiddo(s) enjoy their fall party last week? Ours sure did! Did you know that classroom parties are funded by the PTO? #themoreyouknow

    When you join in with a donation to the Clark PTO Annual Fund Drive, you are helping those parties come to be, along with so many of your favorite Clark community happenings and resources, such as FREE yearbooks, Chess Club, Staff Appreciation, Trunk or Treat, and Family Movie Night!

    Together, we’ll work toward and beyond our goal of $9,000 during this fund drive to keep the fun flowing. 

    Will you join us by making a contribution today? It only takes a few minutes to make a difference in our awesome school community. 

    • Donate via Venmo (@ClarkPTO) or check/cash at the front desk. Make sure you write “Annual Fund” in the description / memo / envelope!

    • Be sure to check with your employer about matching donations. The Clark PTO is 501(c)(3) charitable organization. This Matching Donations document has all the information you will need to set up your employer match.

    We’ll send out updates as the weeks go on - stay tuned! Missed the flyer in your kiddo's backpack? Download it here!

    Thank you for continuing to make our Clark Community GREAT!

    A Note from Nurse Meagan:

    Dear families,

    Many families have had questions about the school district's head lice procedures. Please see the attached letter for more information. This is NOT a notification of cases in your child's classroom, but rather is general education information for caregivers.

    Thank you!

    Stay Connected to Everything Happening at Clark

    The Clark PTO strives to inform parents of all that is happening at Clark. Our PTO Facebook page, PTO website and Eagle Eye newsletter are the main channels of communication. Please notify the front office if you do not have a phone or computer with which to check these outlets.

    There are many ways information is shared about Clark and the Clark PTO. If you haven't been receiving communications, it might be a good time to review your Parent Square settings to ensure you get all the important information going forward. We put together this Clark Eagles - Stay Connected flyer to help ensure you know what's happening at Clark.

    Have an announcement for the Eagle Eye?

    If you have an announcement that needs to be included in the Eagle Eye, please complete and submit the Eagle Eye Submission form by 10:00 pm on the Saturday prior to the week's posting.
