The Best Part of Leadership Is the People You Get to Lead!
At Clay Virtual Academy, we know that great schools are built by great people, and we are fortunate to have some of the very best! In celebration of Boss’s Day, our CVA team took a moment to show their appreciation for our principal, Mrs. Murphy, with a thoughtful surprise. If you ask her, though, she will tell you the real gift is getting to work alongside a team that cares deeply about students, supports one another, and puts their hearts into everything they do.
Leadership is never a one-person job, and at CVA, we are reminded every day that our school's strength comes from the people behind it. Thank you to our incredible CVA family for making this such a special place to work, learn, and grow!

Learning Beyond the Screen at CVA!
What does meaningful learning look like in a virtual classroom? Sometimes, it happens through a simple conversation!
During recent Discussion-Based Assessments (DBAs), Mr. Bishop challenged students to go beyond memorizing information and demonstrate what they know.
In one conversation, a student explored how to invest $10,000, explaining the risks and rewards of different investment options. In another, a student demonstrated an understanding of constitutional principles by explaining how governmental powers are divided and providing real-world examples.
These conversations are about so much more than answering questions. They give students opportunities to think, explain their reasoning, and connect classroom learning to the world around them.
At Clay Virtual Academy, meaningful instruction isn't limited to what happens on a screen. It's also found in the conversations that help students grow!

ASL Learning Lab in Action at Orange Park High School!
We love seeing our Clay Virtual students learning and connecting in person! Through our partnership with Orange Park High School, we have an ASL Learning Lab where students take American Sign Language through Clay Virtual and receive in-person support from our amazing teacher, Ms. Laura Gerds, who regularly visits the lab to provide hands-on instruction and connect with her students.
A special thank you to Ms. Morris, the OPH lab facilitator, for her dedication and support in making this partnership a success!
At Clay Virtual, virtual doesn't mean learning alone! We are proud to work alongside our school partners to create meaningful learning experiences for students!

Sometimes the best science lessons happen right outside our windows! This morning, our amazing Clay Virtual Academy teacher, Ms. Cochuyt, captured a rocket launch, including the moment the solid rocket boosters separated! She immediately saw an opportunity to bring real-world science into her virtual classroom by sharing the photo with her Astronomy and Earth/Space Science students.
This is what makes our CVA teachers special! They find ways to connect classroom learning to the world around us, bringing science to life for their students. The classroom may be virtual, but the learning opportunities are limitless!

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.

Learning Doesn't Stop at the First Try!
At Clay Virtual Academy, we believe learning is a process, and sometimes the greatest growth happens when students can revisit challenging concepts, get additional support, and try again.
This week, our CVA math teacher, Mr. Schmelz, shared a wonderful example of mastery learning in action! On Monday, Mr. Schmelz met individually with a student for a tutoring session, reviewed challenging math concepts, and worked through example problems from previous quizzes. With that extra instruction and the chance to strengthen his understanding, the student went back, retook two quizzes, and earned an A and a B, improving his overall course grade!
This is what makes Clay Virtual Academy special. Our students aren't expected to figure everything out on their own. Our teachers provide personalized instruction, identify areas where students need additional support, and create opportunities for students to demonstrate their growth.
At CVA, the goal isn't just to complete an assignment or earn a grade. It's mastering the learning.

What happens when a student takes an idea and starts thinking like an entrepreneur?
Ev Loren, an Oakleaf High School student taking Entrepreneurship through CVA Flex, created an impressive business proposal for LuxeBlooms. Ev developed the concept, identified a problem and solution, considered her target market, created an investor slide deck, and delivered an elevator pitch to bring her idea to life. Check out her elevator pitch at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LseRqUGYlKhK_Icw9zE2CgxGHcqCBkZT/view
Her CVA teacher, Ms. Wadsworth, was so impressed that she shared, “I would invest in her company if she opened it today!”
Ev is a great example of the learning happening through CVA Flex as students across Clay County connect with CVA courses while remaining part of their zoned school communities.
Great work, Ev! We love seeing your creativity, confidence, and entrepreneurial thinking shine!

We loved visiting the CVA lab at Lake Asbury Junior High last week and seeing so much learning in action! Students were engaged in a variety of courses, including Peer Counseling, HOPE, Life Management Skills, World History, and more. We even got to see a student complete a DBA call with their CVA teacher, giving us a great glimpse of the interaction and connection that are such important parts of virtual learning.
It was wonderful to see students working independently, staying focused, and making progress while having the support of their school community around them. Thank you to the students and staff at Lake Asbury Junior High for welcoming us and for creating a space where CVA students can learn, connect, and succeed!

⚡ Charge Into Fire Safety! ⚡
It’s Fire Prevention Week, and this year’s theme is all about safe charging! As technology plays a big role in our everyday lives, we are reminding our OneClay community that safe charging is a superpower.
🔌 Plug in. Power up. Stay safe.
To keep our homes and schools safe, make sure you are using your 6 Charging Superpowers:
• Cheap charger? Don't chance it. Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
• Soft surface? Hard pass. Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or bare floor.
• Fully charged? Time to unplug. Unplug your device when it is fully charged.
• For tools and rides, charge outside. Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible, and never block exits when charging.
• Feels hot? Stop using it. Stop using your device if it feels very hot, starts to swell, smells strange, leaks, smokes, or makes popping or hissing sounds.
• On a flight? Keep it in sight. Keep devices where you can see them while charging on an airplane, and tell a flight attendant if you notice a problem.
Find more safety tips and resources at FPW.ORG.
