Mrs. Pittman presented certificates to four of her students for their writing. These students received their Construction Master: RACE Strategy certificates! By mastering RACE (Restate the question, Answer the question, Cite text evidence, and Explain), these four are laying a strong foundation for outstanding extended responses and future essay writing.
Byers' 6th graders learned about the sun's ability to heat the Earth in a lab today using water, sand and wet sand. Students had to measure the temperature of each material over time to determine which absorbed and retained the most heat.

On November 3, Clay County voters will consider the renewal of the existing One Mill ad valorem funding for four years (July 1, 2027 – June 30, 2031).
Because this measure is a renewal of the existing operating millage, it continues current funding without increasing tax rates. Revenues are strictly dedicated to two operational priorities:
School Safety: Funding law enforcement contracts for campus officers.
Employee Compensation: Providing competitive pay to retain and attract quality teachers and support staff.
All expenditures are subject to review by an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee. Visit oneclay.net/renewal for more information.
