"School communication to parents is consistent throughout the school year in a variety of ways. Quarterly newsletters are mailed to parents. Quarterly magnet newsletters are mailed to magnet parents. Magnet advisory boards meet monthly. Clark has an active parent advisory committee with day and evening meetings. Meetings and conferences are held with parents to provide information on student achievement. Parents are invited to scholarship nights, parent conferences, family nights, open house and magnet open house. Keeping Everyones Eyes on the Neighborhood was formed with community leaders. Award ceremonies, such as athletic banquets, academic letter, STAR recognition, Teaching Readiness Across the Curriculum, Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) and senior celebrations night, are held. Clark uses an automatic dialer system to inform parents of their child's daily absences, course requests, class schedules, attendance, grades, progress reports, test scores, course histories, graduation requirements and transcripts.
