No School on September 1 - Labor Day
📢 REMINDER: Early Release Wednesdays for Teacher PLC Collaboration Begins September 10th
Beginning Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Clarkston School District will implement a weekly one-hour early release on scheduled Wednesdays.
👉 What families need to know:
• Schools will release one hour earlier on scheduled Wednesdays.
• Schools start times stay the same.
• Buses will run one hour earlier on those days.
• Please check the district calendar for the specific early release dates, as not every Wednesday will be included.
This change provides our teachers with dedicated time for Professional Learning Community (PLC) collaboration and district inservice. By working together, teachers can:
✔ Review student progress
✔ Plan and improve instruction
✔ Share strategies to support learning
✔ Ensure every student has the tools to succeed
We appreciate your partnership as we make this transition to better support student learning!

On March 24, the CSD School Board of Directors adopted the 2025-26 school calendar. Early release Wednesdays for teacher PLCs were also approved and are highlighted in purple on the calendars. To meet state instructional hour requirements, some early release Wednesdays were removed. We appreciate everyone who took the time to share feedback through the survey. While we recognize that preferences varied, your input was valuable in guiding this decision. Thank you for being engaged in the process.
