Clarkston School District Students In Grades 7-12 Move To Distance Learning For Two-Weeks -11/04/20

Clarkston, WA—Starting on Thursday, November 5, 2020, Clarkston School District students who attend Lincoln Middle School, Clarkston High School, and the Educational Opportunity Center will move to the Distance 1 schedule (remote learning). Remote learning for students 7-12 will begin November 5 and conclude on November 19. Staff will be on-site to plan and deliver online instruction. Students in grades K-6 are unaffected so elementary schools will continue in the current Modified 4 schedule. During the two-week closure the District will be cleaning, disinfecting, and airing out facilities.

Clarkston Superintendent, Dr. Thaynan Knowlton states, “this was a very difficult decision that was not made lightly. However, based on a number of factors we felt this was our wisest move at this time.” Dr. Knowlton, in consultation with administrators and the local health jurisdiction, will reevaluate the District’s next move over the coming days and weeks.

Meal distribution will continue to be available for all students during this time at all of the Clarkston schools. All athletics and extra-curricular activities for Lincoln Middle School and Clarkston High School will be canceled during this same time-frame.
