Clarkston Community Schools Bylaws & Board Policies

2024-2025 Student Code of Conduct

In order to provide a consistent delivery of email communication to our district's most current mailing lists, we will be utilizing parent contact information in Synergy ParentVUE to send all official building and district communications. Please visit our Synergy ParentVUE Guide to ensure your contact information is up-to-date in order to receive 2025-2026 class placement and scheduling information and emails throughout the year.

Synergy is our district's Student Information System that provides parents and students with secure, private access to school and student information through ParentVUE and StudentVUE.

ParentVUE isn't just for student registration. As many of our parents and guardians already know, it's a great tool to check grades, assignments, attendance, calendars, teacher contact information, and more!

• Families who have more than one student in CCS can access all student information using their ParentVUE username and password. You only need one ParentVUE account for all students in your home.
• Update your information anytime (child's address, phone number, email address, and emergency contacts) by logging into ParentVUE.
• ParentVUE/StudentVUE offers secure, private access to school and student information, including assignments, grades, attendance, school calendar, and teacher contact details.

Weekly or monthly payments by check are accepted at every school, please make checks payable to: CCS Food Service. The student's name and/or student number is required on the check. If checks are returned by the bank due to insufficient funds, families will be charged $25.00 per occurrence; the negative amount will immediately be applied to the student's meal account.
