Class Assignment Letters were mailed on August 11! Did you get it?
You should receive your Class Assignment + School Opening info by Wednesday (If not sooner). If you do not--please come by the school office at Thursday's open House to check your address on file and get the needed information!
This letter will contain the "Welcome Back" information(which I have also included below) that has many important dates and school procedures. There will also be a card that has your child's name, grade, and teacher's name/room number. Please fill out the bottom of the card with your address/contact information and how your child will be going home from school. It is very important that you pin this card to your child's clothing on the first day of school. This will help us to ensure their safety when going home! (If you don't receive a card---Please fill out your address and contact info and how your child will be going home on an index card/piece of paper and pin that to your child's clothing!!!
Aftercare Options for the '23-'24 School Year
New this year, we WILL have a school bus that goes from Clark Springs to the Randolph Community Center After School Program. Please find information and registration HERE.
Please keep in mind BOTH programs have limited space so register ASAP. It is my understanding that waiting lists will be created and potentially more students accepted (once filled) as additional staff can be hired. Neither program is part of RPS/Fox. Please contact them directly for information and registration.
Calling all Kindergarten and 1st grade Families:
PTA Fall Afterschool Enrichment Opportunities

Mark your Calendar for BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT ON AUG. 29TH!
2023-2024 School Calendar Approved
'23-'24 Parent Handbook
A hard copy will come home with your students on the first day of school!
HOMEWORK: EVERY STUDENT SHOULD READ/BE READ TO FOR 20 MINUTES EVERY NIGHT!
Research shows that READING EVERY EVENING is the one thing that WILL SET YOUR CHILD UP FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS.
3rd, 4th, 5th grade students will have up to an additional 30 minutes of homework as well (math practice, comprehension practice, studying etc). Teachers/grade levels will communicate homework to their class.
