Clay County families, we are so excited to welcome our students back for the 2026–2027 school year! To ensure your family is set up for a smooth and stress-free first day, please take a moment to review all essential information on our back-to-school hub:

Here is a quick checklist of what to double-check before Tuesday morning:
⏰ School Start & End Times: Verify exact bell schedules and arrival times for your student's specific campus.
🚌 Transportation & Bus Information: Confirm bus route numbers, pickup/drop-off times, and stop locations.
🍎 Breakfast & Lunch Details: Check cafeteria menus, meal prices, and meal account setups.
📱 Communication & Focus Portal: Ensure you have downloaded the OneClay Focus app to access schedules, grades, and attendance, and check that your primary OneClay app is updated for direct messaging and school announcements.
📝 Supplies & Calendars: Review grade-level supply lists and save important academic calendar dates.
We can’t wait to see our students back in the classroom! Let's make this year extraordinary. ✨

🚲 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! 🎒✨

Help us extend a massive, warm welcome to our newest Pirate Crewmate, Cassie Alba!
Mrs. Alba is joining our school family as our new Kindergarten Varying Exceptionalities Self-Contained Teacher and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her on board. She brings so much heart, patience, and dedication to helping our youngest learners chart their own course for success!

As we get ready for the upcoming school year, let’s show our incredible teachers and staff how much we appreciate everything they do for our students! 💙⚓
Many of our teachers have set up Amazon Wishlists with classroom supplies, books, and essential learning tools. If your teacher hasn't added theirs yet, check back soon—more lists will be added as teachers finish setting them up!
Whether you're able to purchase an item or simply share the post to help clear the lists, every bit of support helps set our classrooms up for success.
