Science: The team revised 18 curriculum guides into a 5E, phenomenon-based format to ensure our students stay on the cutting edge of discovery.
🎨 A Creative and Choice-Driven Community
Fine Arts: We are celebrating 104 seniors who earned the Florida Seal of Fine Arts in 2024-2025.
School Choice: Since August, we have successfully filled 158 Controlled Open Enrollment seats, helping families find the perfect fit for their children.
👩🏫 Empowering Our Educators
Great schools start with great teachers, and our Professional Learning team is hard at work:
Our 250+ active mentors are currently supporting 140 novice educators as they begin their teaching journeys.
Over 100 teachers have participated in Total Participation Techniques (TPT) sessions, directly impacting engagement for 2,500 students.
The Assessment and Accountability team is ensuring excellence by monitoring nearly 250,000 state and national assessments annually.
Thank you to the SIPLA team for the energy, data, and a very competitive presentation that proved we are truly One Clay!
