The “Odds Were Ever In Our Favor” Today!
We brought the world of The Hunger Games to life with a high-stakes "Vocabulary Cornucopia" game. Students were split into Districts and had to race against one another to match complex vocabulary words to their definitions. It was the perfect mix of speed, teamwork, and literacy building!
Our Literacy Elective students absolutely loved this active, fun way to master their new vocabulary words! It was so rewarding to see them fully immersed in the challenge.
Congratulations to our District Victors for taking home the WIN—and a huge shoutout to all our Tributes for their hard work!

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. 🎒✨

🏫 We want to hear from you: 2026-2027 School Bell Times!
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!
👉 Review the details and take the survey here: oneclay.net/starttime

🚦 RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT: Grammar Edition! 🚦
We put our literacy skills through a rigorous driving test last Friday! Our students had to prove they could spot grammar potholes to earn their ‘literacy license.’ The rules were simple:
🟢 Green Light: The sentence is good to go!
🔴 Red Light: STOP! There’s a grammatical error.
Students who held up a Red card had to explain the "traffic violation" (missing commas, rogue quotation marks, or capitalization crashes) to move forward. Loved seeing them race to explain why a sentence had to hit the brakes!
Our road to literacy was packed with successful drivers. Congratulations to our first-place finishers, pictured here, along with the dozens of other grammar license winners! Our OLJ Literacy Elective classes are officially a crash-free zone!
HUGE week for our athletes!
