Dear Clarke Families,

 

On behalf of the Clarke PTO, welcome to the 2026-27 school year. The PTO serves as a key resource to Clarke families, keeping you informed of school events and news through our weekly newsletters and website; hosting family events/activities; connecting families; providing small grants to teachers and staff, and more.

 

To make Clarke the best it can be, we need your membership and support – so please join our PTO or renew your membership today! With your $40 membership you’ll receive access to our online family directory, receive our weekly email newsletter, and provide resources for your student’s classrooms.  

Membership needs to be renewed annually at https://clarkepto.membershiptoolkit.com/. 

 

Joining the PTO is one critical way to make an impact, but it’s not the only way – please also consider volunteering at Clarke. We are low on critical volunteer positions such as Co-Treasurer, Staff Appreciation Organizers / Volunteers, and Fundraising (Spirit Wear).  We also need shadows for Co-President, Treasurer, and Membership for next year.  There is a position for everyone, and many jobs can be done with only a few hours of effort and from home. 

 

 

Upcoming Events:

  • New Student Open House – Wednesday, August 26 from 8-11am | Clarke spiritwear t-shirts will be on sale for $15 each, glitter stickers $1 and car magnets $10. T-shirts will be first come, first served, with limited quantities/sizes available. These shirts will be available again during our regular spiritwear sale later in the school year. We will be accepting cash or online payments with a link available that day to pay online.

  • Say Hello, PTO – Wednesday, September 2 at 8:15am. | Mornings are busy and we know many of you have more than one drop off, but if you are able, please join us for coffee on the front patio. We look forward to seeing you there! 

  • First Clarke PTO Meeting – Thursday, September 17 at 7pm in the Clarke IMC (Instructional Materials Center) or Library. All Welcome! We begin with an update from our Principal, Dane Depres.  PTO Meetings occur monthly, generally Thursday evenings at 7 PM in the Clarke IMC (Instructional Materials Center) or Library in Sept, Oct & May. We meet virtually November - April.


We can’t wait to see familiar faces and meet new families!
