🚌 Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes!

October 19 to 23 is National School Bus Safety Week!

Thank you to our Clarkston School District bus drivers and transportation team for the care, patience and attention you bring to every route. You help our students begin and end each school day safely.

Keeping students safe takes all of us. Please slow down near buses and bus stops, put distractions away and watch for students. Remind children to follow their driver’s directions and practice safe habits at the bus stop.

Join us in thanking the everyday heroes behind the wheel and behind the scenes!

Health District Alert: Rabid Bat Found at Asotin School District

Asotin County Health District has confirmed that a bat found at Asotin School District on September 23 tested positive for rabies. The health district and Asotin School District are contacting families of children with confirmed exposure.

We are sharing this information with Clarkston families because bat contact can happen anywhere. If you or your child has had contact with a bat at any point in the past year, call Asotin County Health District at 509-243-3344, ext. 4539. Health district staff can assess the contact and advise you on next steps.

Please remind children never to touch a bat, even if it appears injured or dead, and to tell an adult if they find one.

More information about rabies in Washington State can be found at https://doh.wa.gov/you-and.../illness-and-disease-z/rabies.

📱 Did you receive a text message about Apptegy Rooms? It’s legitimate!

Some Clarkston families and staff received an unexpected text message directly from Apptegy today about a communication tool called Rooms. Because we had not yet introduced Rooms, we completely understand why some of you wondered if the message was spam. We appreciate those who reached out to check!

There is nothing you need to do at this time.

Rooms is a communication tool that may be used for specific groups and activities, such as athletics and other extracurricular programs. It will replace ParentSquare for these types of communications.

Our regular district communication is not changing. Clarkston School District will continue to send district announcements, alerts, and other communication through Thrillshare just as we have in the past.

If a coach, teacher, advisor, or other staff member chooses to use Rooms with your student, they will communicate directly with you and provide information about how to get connected.

We apologize for the confusion caused by the message arriving before we had an opportunity to share this information with you.
