Just a friendly reminder that Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend! Most people find it easiest to set their clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night before heading to bed—that way, you’re all set for Sunday morning! 🛌✨
While we all adjust to losing that hour of sleep, we’re definitely looking forward to those longer, sunnier afternoons for our students' after-school sports and activities! ☀️
We can’t wait to see all our students arriving safely and right on time this Monday morning to kick off another great week of learning. 🎒✨

📚🏈 What a "touchdown" for literacy!
Today, Lakeside Elementary had the incredible honor of hosting the 10th annual Tackle Reading event in celebration of Dr. Seuss’s 122nd birthday. This nationwide tradition is designed to inspire students to fall in love with reading through the power of football.
We were thrilled to welcome 2024 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year and Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead to our campus. Arik served as a national spokesperson for the program this year and inspired our students with a special reading of The Cat in the Hat and motivational messages about the power of education.
The energy in the building was electric, thanks to some very special guests:
Arik Armstead, Jaguars spokesperson and 2024 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year.
The Jacksonville Jaguars mascot, Jaxon De Ville, who brought the game-day spirit.
The Cat in the Hat himself!
Superintendent David Broskie and Chief of Elementary Heather Teto.
Every student walked away with their very own Dr. Seuss book to keep, thanks to the generosity of Dr. Seuss Enterprises. We are so grateful to Creative Minds Publications and all the partners who made this day possible, helping our students fall in love with reading.
Check out these highlights from today’s celebration! 👇

Clay County District Schools is considering three options for school start times for the 2026-2027 school year, and your feedback is essential to this decision.
In 2025, Florida law (SB 296) granted our School Board the flexibility to decide the best bell times for our community. We are currently weighing three possibilities:
Option A: Keep bell times exactly as they are now.
Option B: Elementary schools start first (7:20 AM), High Schools start last (9:40 AM).
Option C: Swap Elementary and Senior High times (High School starts at 8:30 AM).
Each option has different impacts on transportation costs, extracurriculars, and student sleep patterns. We want to know what works best for your family!
