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! 📚✨

🚲 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! 🎒✨

What an incredible turnout at our 7th & 8th Grade Teacher Meet & Greet! It was amazing welcoming our students and families back on campus to grab schedules, explore during self-guided tours, and connect with teachers.

We loved seeing resiliency in action today as our new GCJ students tackled their class maps and figured out the rotating bell schedule like total pros! Plus, seeing so many familiar faces pop into their former teachers' classrooms to say hello brought so much joy to the halls.

The energy on campus was unmatched, and it got us even more pumped for what’s ahead. We can’t wait to see everyone back on Tuesday for the official first day of school! See you then, Cougars!

Day 3 of Pre-Planning was all about setting the stage for student success! Our teachers dove deep into this year’s Instructional Focus on Direct and Explicit Instruction, reviewed essential GCJ policies and procedures, and aligned on our school-wide PBIS initiatives to keep our school community thriving.

A huge shoutout and thank you to one of our incredible GCJ moms, Mrs. Fore, for dropping off a delicious sweet treat! It was exactly the pick-me-up our hard working teachers needed to power through the day.

We capped it all off by gathering in our Content PLCs to build team connection, set strong norms, and collaborate for the year ahead. The momentum is building, and we can't wait to welcome our students back! #CougarsLEAD
