Here's the script if you missed the call:

Bronco Family,
This is Principal Martin Aftuck with your Friday Focus phone call. Thank you for a fantastic start to the school year. Our Broncos will already have interim reports next Friday. Please make sure you are communicating with your student and using Synergy PARENT VUE to monitor their grades. The number one predictor of student success is attendance. Thank you for doing everything to ensure that your student is here at school and on-time. We cannot build off of learning if our Broncos aren't here! We will go live with the new phone policy on Monday. Cell phones should be put away and may only be used in the CAFETERIA DURING LUNCH. We are excited to make sure our Broncos are focused on learning at our CELL PHONE FREE SCHOOL. Homecoming tickets went on sale today at 2:00 pm on myschoolbucks. Check social media for the qr code or visit myschoolbucks. As always if you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to me at martin.aftuck@myoneclay.net.

Today was one of our favorite days of the year in 11th and 12th grade English, Dreams and Donuts! Students in Mrs. Lade’s classes enjoyed breakfast together while reading The Dash and imagining their futures.
They set meaningful goals, built roadmaps for success, and created vision boards to bring their dreams to life. Along the way, they shared ideas, encouraged one another, and had the chance to discuss their plans with two special guests Mr. Williams and Mr. Stilianou.

We are so proud of the vision, creativity, and determination our Broncos showed today!

Celebrate your first home football game as a bronco!This is a free event for all freshmen & link crew leaders, but you must sign up. Come join us for music, pizza, and games! Hope to see you there! #HorsePower

Chick-Fil-A Leadership Academy had its Kick Off meeting on Monday and over 40 students showed up to hear how they can gain and put leadership skills to work Impacting our Community through Action!
Joe and Tabitha Mayo joined us and talked to the group about the impact today's youth have on the community and the reach their display of leadership can have. We wrapped our meeting doing our share of the "1 Million Book Giveaway" by making 300 book bundles (about 1500 books) with handwritten notes of encouragement and praise, to be distributed to children in Bronco Building Blocks as well as K-2 students at Middleburg Elementary. #HorsePower

Clay County is giving local high school seniors a chance to step into the shoes of a county commissioner—literally. The County launched a new Commissioner for a Day program, and five students will be selected to spend Tuesday, September 23 shadowing District 1 Commissioner John Sgromolo for a full workday.

This opportunity gives students a real-world look at how local government runs—from public safety and emergency management to animal services, public works, and more.

Participants will follow Commissioner Sgromolo through meetings with county leaders and site visits and learn how different departments and leaders work together to serve the community.

Who Can Apply?
The program is open to Clay County high school seniors.

How to Apply
Students must complete an online application that includes:

Basic info (name, contact, GPA, etc.)
A 1–2 minute video answering the prompt:
“What is your definition of leadership? What does great leadership look like in action?”
