Please remember that the only people allowed to attend athletic events must be on the pass list for that particular game or an event worker approved by the Activities Director. Each athlete/coach that is on the roster that day, receives two spots on the pass list. These people MUST pay or show their activity pass to get into the gym. Any person, regardless of age, must be in the list.
Masks are required both by the Governor and our local city ordinance. The Activities Office appreciates the cooperation that we had at our games earlier this week. Way to do the right thing, EVEN if you don’t think it's the right thing.

After talking to a few administrators, we have decided that hosting the 5th grade band concert tonight (12/1) is not a safe choice. With stricter rules for activities and large gatherings happening at Thanksgiving we are not willing to risk the health and safety of our students and their families. We apologize for the lateness in this decision but feel it is the best decision at this point. Please contact Jody Kerchal if you have any questions.
Reminder: The Clarke Food Pantry will be giving away bags of groceries from 4-5 today in the Central Office parking lot. Please walk toward the CLC doors and someone will set bags out for you. Open to any Clarke student/family.
