Mrs. Suzanne Perlin
Hello! My name is Suzanne Perlin and I have taught at Cook Elementary for 20+ years! It is such a wonderful school with a fantastic kindergarten team. I have met amazing families here that will always have a special place in my heart. I love being a Cook Cub!
I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in Child Development and a Masters in Curriculum and Teaching.
I live in Clarkston with my husband Kevin and my two children, Adam (14) and Katelyn (12). We have a goldendoodle named Breslin that always keeps us entertained!

FAQs
Common Questions
What does my child need for kindergarten?
Your child needs a normal size backpack. Please do not send your child with one of those cute mini little backpacks. It will not hold anything.
Who do I call if my child is going to be absent?
Please call the attendance hotline at 591-7915 and let them know.
What if we are going on vacation?If you are going on a long vacation you can get a vacation form from the office and fill it out.
When are conferences?
We will have conferences in November for everyone and in March on a "need to meet" basis. There will be a celebration of learning for everyone to attend.
How do you celebrate birthdays?
Students will be assigned a snack day on or near their birthday.
What if I am going to pick up my child after school?
If your child normally rides the bus and you are going to pick them up instead, please send a written note to me in the morning. I will attach it to my dismissal clipboard. If you forget in the morning call the office and they will let me know. Please do not email me or call me because I may have sub and they may not get the message. If I do not have a verbal message from the office or home your child will go home on the bus. This goes for any kind of dismissal change.
What if I am going to pick up my child early from school?
When you pick your child up, you go to the office and sign him or her out. They will call my room and I will send your child to the office.
What if I bring my child to school late?
Late is considered after 9:00. If you bring your child in after that time, please sign them into the office before bringing them to class.
Should I send an extra pair of clothes for my child?
Please keep an extra supply of clothes in your child's cubby. I can keep them at school if you want me to. It is always a good idea to keep an extra pair of clothes if your childh has an accident, slips in the mud or spills milk on themselves.
Can I come eat lunch with my child?
This is still up in the air. We haven't had parents in since covid but that could change this year.
Do you go on any field trips?
We go on one field trip typically in the spring.
Do you have parents volunteer?
I do! I have parents help out for special events and activities.
Can my child bring toys to school?
Please leave all toys at home.
Do you have an aide?
I do not have an aide. I will have a student teacher this year though.
What is the best way to reach you?
Email is the best and the fastest sperlin@gbcs.org
