🏗️📚 Build a Brighter Future with Literacy! 📚🏗️
It's Literacy Week in Florida and reading is the foundation for success! 📖 Just like building a strong structure, literacy skills are the building blocks for a brighter future.
Here are some ways to construct a love of reading at home:
- Lay the Foundation: Start early by reading to your children.
- Frame Your World: Explore different genres and discover new worlds through books.
- Build Your Skills: Practice reading every day to strengthen your comprehension and vocabulary.
- Reach New Heights: Challenge yourself with more complex texts and expand your knowledge.
- Open Doors to Opportunity: A strong foundation in literacy opens doors to education, careers, and personal growth.
#OneClay will celebrate with guest readers and participate in other literacy activities at schools across the district throughout the week! #LiteracyWeek2025

Weather Update #1: Winter Storm Enzo - Schools and Offices Closed on Wednesday, January 22nd.
Clay County is under a Winter Storm Warning, and after consulting with Emergency Management and reviewing the latest storm projections, we have determined that the timing of the storm’s impact in the morning will make it unsafe to transport students to school and for employees to commute to work. As a result, all Clay County District Schools and offices will be closed on Wednesday, January 22nd.
We anticipate resuming normal operations on Thursday, January 23rd. Information regarding a make-up day for the missed instructional hours will be shared soon.
Please continue to monitor our social media channels for updates. Stay safe, Clay County!
