Mission Accomplished, Little Bus Drivers!  The Pigeon Has Been Spotted!

​Our brand-new kindergarteners officially took over the school on the first day of school with our "The Pigeon Has to Go to School!" tour!

​Our students searched top to bottom—checking every corner of campus—to track down Mo Willems' favorite feathered friend while exploring their new home for the year.

​We are so excited for an incredible school year ahead with these brilliant new learners! 

​ Check out the tour highlights below! (And don't worry... we didn't let the Pigeon drive the bus!)

Good evening, C.H.E. Parents! Thank you for an amazing Orientation today. We enjoyed seeing our students' smiling faces, eager to start the new year with the first day of school tomorrow, August 11!

Breakfast is served until 8:25 am, and parents are asked to exit the campus by 8:25 so that instructional time may begin promptly at 8:30 am. Don't forget that parents are invited to come back inside the building through the front office for our Boohoo Yahoo Breakfast, sponsored by the Parent Volunteer Organization, from 8:30-9:30 am, on Tuesday AND Wednesday.

As our students head back to class tomorrow morning for the first day of the new school year, it’s the perfect time for a quick refresher on getting to school safely. Whether you walk, ride, or drive, we all play a part in keeping our school community safe.

Check out these tips to help us all arrive safe:

🚶‍♂️ WALK SAFE!

Heads Up, Phone Down! Stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

Use sidewalks and cross only at corners and crosswalks.

Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT before crossing.

Be seen!

🚲 RIDE SAFE! (Bikes, E-Bikes, & E-Scooters)

Helmet On: Wear a helmet—it’s the LAW for riders under 16!

Obey all traffic laws, stop signs, and traffic lights.

Ride with traffic, stay off your phone, and yield to walkers on the sidewalk.

E-Riders: You are fast and quiet. Drivers don't always expect you—be extra alert and slow down at intersections!

🚌 BUS SAFE!

Wait in a safe place well away from the road.

Board or cross ONLY when the driver gives you the "OK" signal.

Stay seated and keep the aisle clear.

Drivers: Please review the "School Bus Safety Rules" graphic below so you know exactly when you MUST stop!

🚗 DRIVE SAFE!

Slow down, especially in school zones.

Expect the unexpected—look twice for kids at every intersection, driveway, and crosswalk.

Give bicyclists at least 3 feet of clearance.

Put the phone away, no texting, and focus on the road.

Let's work together to make the first day back a safe one. Share this post with your students and neighbors to help spread the word!

Be Seen. Be Smart. Be Safe.

We can't wait to see you tomorrow! 📚✨

🎒 The First Day of School is Tuesday, August 11th! 🎒

Clay County families, we are so excited to welcome our students back for the 2026–2027 school year! To ensure your family is set up for a smooth and stress-free first day, please take a moment to review all essential information on our back-to-school hub:

👉 OneClay.net/BackToSchool

Here is a quick checklist of what to double-check before Tuesday morning:

⏰ School Start & End Times: Verify exact bell schedules and arrival times for your student's specific campus.

🚌 Transportation & Bus Information: Confirm bus route numbers, pickup/drop-off times, and stop locations.

🍎 Breakfast & Lunch Details: Check cafeteria menus, meal prices, and meal account setups.

📱 Communication & Focus Portal: Ensure you have downloaded the OneClay Focus app to access schedules, grades, and attendance, and check that your primary OneClay app is updated for direct messaging and school announcements.

📝 Supplies & Calendars: Review grade-level supply lists and save important academic calendar dates.

We can’t wait to see our students back in the classroom! Let's make this year extraordinary. ✨

🚲 Heads Up, Clay! Arrive Safe! 🛴

With students heading back to class this week, bike racks across Clay County are filling up fast! Whether you're riding a traditional bike, e-bike, or e-scooter, safety starts before you even step on the pedals.

Keep these quick tips in mind for a smooth ride:

  • Obey the Rules: Follow all traffic laws, stop signs, and signals.

  • Go with the Flow: Always ride with the flow of traffic, not against it.

  • Stay Alert: Ditch the distractions, look ahead, and watch for hazards.

  • Be Seen & Predictable: Use hand signals when turning or stopping so drivers know your next move.

  • Protect Your Brain: Wear a helmet—it’s Florida law for riders under 16!

⚡ E-Bike & E-Scooter Riders: Watch your speed and slow down near pedestrian zones and crosswalks!

Let’s make this school year the safest one yet! 🎒✨
