Football, Cross Country, and Varsity Volleyball. Come support our Lancer Athletes. (JV Volleyball schedule will be released soon).
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.
Breakfast and lunch are provided at no cost to all Clarkston School District students enrolled in TK–12 for the 2026–2027 school year!
Check out the August and September lunch menus below. We’re looking forward to welcoming our students back!

📢 Important District Update: Future 6th Grade Transition to Lincoln Middle School
The Clarkston School District is excited to share that beginning with the 2027–28 school year, all 6th grade students will attend Lincoln Middle School as part of a true 6th–8th grade middle school model.
This change will not affect students during the upcoming 2026–27 school year. The additional year will allow us to thoughtfully plan, prepare, and support students and families throughout the transition process.
Moving 6th grade to Lincoln Middle School will provide students with access to specialized supports, expanded academic opportunities, extracurricular activities, athletics, leadership experiences, and a learning environment specifically designed to meet the needs of early adolescents.
We understand families may have questions. Please review the attached Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document for additional information. We will continue to share updates and opportunities for engagement as planning progresses.
Parent orientation for upcoming 7th graders is Monday, June 8th at 6 pm in the LMS gym. We will be sharing information to help you and your student prepare for the 2026-2027 school year. This will be a chance to meet school administration, get familiar with LMS expectations, learn about LMS athletics, and ask any questions you may have. Here is a link to information that will be discussed. https://aptg.co/7XDSJN
The Boys and Girls Club will be closed June 1-5, 2026.
