Tomorrow is 3rd-5th grade Field Day. Please wear sneakers and bring a water bottle. Students may want to bring a towel. All K-2 classes will be outside for Run/Walk in the afternoon.
Yesterday, our library was buzzing with excitement as our Battle of the Books students in grades 3–6 put their literary knowledge to the ultimate test! These reading rockstars went head-to-head, answering "trivia-style" questions about this year's Sunshine State Young Reader Award (SSYRA) book nominees.
Huge congratulations to every student who participated—your dedication to reading is inspiring! Thank you Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Wright, Mrs. LeStrange, Mrs. Leasure, Mrs. Philemon, Ms. Warren, and our yearbook photographers for all of your help with this year's event!
A special shout-out to our school champions, [Insert Name Here]! They’ll be moving on to represent us at the Regional Competition at Coppergate Elementary on April 7th. Let’s go!
"Pie a Teacher!" Yes, you read that right! Get ready for some whipped cream mayhem. We're hosting the ultimate "change" challenge for all the grades at CHE. Each grade will have its own collection bucket to collect as much loose change as possible.

So, let's start filling those buckets and get ready to create some "cents" of humor.

⏰ Don’t forget to "Spring Forward," Clay County!
Just a friendly reminder that Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend! Most people find it easiest to set their clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night before heading to bed—that way, you’re all set for Sunday morning! 🛌✨
While we all adjust to losing that hour of sleep, we’re definitely looking forward to those longer, sunnier afternoons for our students' after-school sports and activities! ☀️
We can’t wait to see all our students arriving safely and right on time this Monday morning to kick off another great week of learning. 🎒✨

🏫 We want to hear from you: 2026-2027 School Bell Times!
Clay County District Schools is considering three options for school start times for the 2026-2027 school year, and your feedback is essential to this decision.
In 2025, Florida law (SB 296) granted our School Board the flexibility to decide the best bell times for our community. We are currently weighing three possibilities:
Option A: Keep bell times exactly as they are now.
Option B: Elementary schools start first (7:20 AM), High Schools start last (9:40 AM).
Option C: Swap Elementary and Senior High times (High School starts at 8:30 AM).
Each option has different impacts on transportation costs, extracurriculars, and student sleep patterns. We want to know what works best for your family!
👉 Review the details and take the survey here: oneclay.net/starttime

We are so proud of our students who took on the February STEAM Family Project! This month’s voluntary challenge was a test of imagination: "What can you do with a paper plate?" From innovative gadgets to artistic masterpieces, our students truly thought like inventors and problem solvers. Using just one paper plate and items from around the house, they turned a simple everyday object into something extraordinary! A huge thank you to the families who supported these young engineers and artists in their creative journey!
