Our CVA teachers recently came together for professional learning led by Ms. Gayle Weaver and Ms. Natalie Sessions, with a focus on making the virtual learning experience even more engaging, relevant, and personal for our students. Teachers explored new Zoom features, tools in the Educator Roster, and ways to use what they know about individual students to make DBAs, tutoring, and Live Lessons more meaningful.
Just like we want for our students, our teachers weren’t just sitting and listening;they were participating, practicing, sharing ideas, and learning from one another! We are grateful for Ms. Weaver and Ms. Sessions for continuing to support our teachers as we find new ways to connect with students and make virtual learning personal. 💙❤️

Learning in Action at CVA! Our Forensic Science students put their investigative skills to work in Ms. Derousie’s Live Lesson! This wasn’t a sit-and-listen review; students were doing the thinking as they answered questions from their Module 1 learning, reviewed classmates’ work for accuracy and clarity, provided constructive feedback, made revisions, and received feedback from Ms. Derousie.
Students tackled everything from processing a crime scene and maintaining chain of custody to the physical and chemical properties of evidence. Even better, they were learning from one another along the way! Interactive, collaborative, and student-centered; that’s what learning looks like at CVA! 💙❤️

Congratulations to Matthew, our student winner for Best Red, White & Blue Spirit in honor of the heroes of September 11th! Matthew’s patriotic photo captured the spirit of a day dedicated to remembering the lives lost and honoring the courage, sacrifice, and service of so many.
As our winner, Matthew received a $25 Chick-fil-A gift card! Thank you to Matthew and all of our CVA students, families, faculty, and staff who participated. Even though we learn and work from different places, we came together to show that CVA remembers, CVA honors, and CVA will never forget.

On Heroes’ Day, we are especially proud to recognize two veterans who continue to serve others through their work as lab facilitators with our CVA Flex students: Melissa Morris at Orange Park High School and Kim Saddler at Keystone Heights Junior/Senior High School.
Both Melissa and Kim proudly served in the United States Air Force, and today, they continue that spirit of service by supporting and encouraging our students. As we honor the heroes of September 11th and all those who have answered the call to serve, we are grateful to have two of those heroes as part of our CVA community. Thank you, Melissa and Kim, for your service to our country and for the difference you continue to make for our students. ❤️🤍💙

Great things happen when educators come together with a shared focus on students! Our Clay Virtual Academy School-Based Leadership Team spent time virtually digging into our weekly student data, reviewing our reflection and student success tools, and discussing how our PLCs can use this information to identify needs, celebrate progress, and intervene early when a student needs additional support.
In a virtual school, we may not see our students walking through the hallways each day, but that makes it even more important that we are intentional about knowing our students, noticing the data, and staying connected.
We are thankful for a leadership team that is willing to collaborate, ask questions, reflect on our practices, and continually look for ways to better serve our students and teachers.
