Dear Mustang Families,
✏️ Welcome to the First Week of School! We are so excited to welcome our students back! As we kick off the new school year, please take a moment to review these important first-week reminders to ensure a smooth, safe, and happy transition for everyone.

🏫 Morning Drop-Off & Walk-In Guidelines: Walking Students to Class: Parents are welcome to drop off and walk their students to class only on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Starting Thursday, students only will walk to class independently!

Kindergarten Drop-Off: All Kindergarten students should be dropped off directly at the door to Building 7.

Kindergarten Staggered Start:

Tuesday: Group 1 attends

Wednesday: Group 2 attends

Thursday & Friday: ALL Kindergarten students attend together!

☀️ Morning Arrival Routine
Free Meals: Remember, all students receive FREE breakfast and lunch every single day!

Where to Go in the Morning:

Eating Breakfast? Go directly to the cafeteria upon arrival and stay there until dismissed to class.

Not Eating Breakfast? Report directly to your designated morning location.

🚗 Dismissal & Pick-Up Reminders
Car Sign Required: Please make sure you have your official pick-up sign displayed. If you don't have one yet, don't worry—our staff will be outside during the first week to assist you and issue signs!

Expect Delays & Pack Your Patience: Dismissal always takes a little extra time during the first week of school as everyone learns the routines. Please be patient with us—our absolute top priority is ensuring every child gets home safely.

Thank you for your partnership and patience as we start this wonderful new school year together! See you soon! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to Mrs. Ayers, our Principal, at carolyn.ayers@myoneclay.net

Kindergarten is the foundational year for your child’s educational journey, and these amazing ladies know exactly how to make it a successful one! They create a loving, supportive environment while helping our little learners build the skills, confidence, and independence they need to thrive.

🍎 Ms. Forbis is our team leader, resident cat lady, and soon-to-be Mrs.! She brings leadership, heart, and plenty of love to our kindergarten team—and we are so lucky to have her!

🌈 Ms. Messineo is amazing at using student data to make a difference! She knows how to turn data into meaningful instruction, helping ensure every student gets the support they need to grow and succeed.

📚 Ms. Sparrow is the newest member of our kindergarten team, and she has already been doing an incredible job! She has jumped right in, built wonderful connections with her students, and is quickly becoming a valued part of our kindergarten family.

We are so lucky to have these incredible kindergarten teachers helping our littles take those first big steps into their school journey! We can’t wait to see all the growth, learning, and memories this year will bring!

🚲 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! 🎒✨

Our 6th grade team might only have 2 teachers, but don't let the numbers fool you... they're pretty amazing!

📚 Mrs. Bishop is tackling Math & Science and is still getting used to that brand-new "Mrs." title after recently getting married!.
📖 Mr. Arrington is taking on ELA & World History and is the one to see for all things technology and 3D printing. If it involves creating, building, or trying out new tech, he's all in!

Basically, they're doing the work of a whole squad! Here's to an awesome year with the best two-person team around!
Bonus: Our 6th graders are kicking off the year with brand-new Smart Boards in their classrooms! Between fresh technology and these two fantastic teachers, it's going to be a great year.
