A big thank you to our amazing Wildcats for doing such a great job participating in our School-wide “Leprechaun” Scavenger Hunt! Students had a blast searching high and low for those sneaky leprechauns hidden around campus.
Here are a few snapshots from the hunt. Great job, Wildcats! 🐾🍀

Please join us in congratulating Adam Liu for being selected as our P.R.I.D.E. student of the week. Mr. Gomes chose Adam because he shows OPJ P.R.I.D.E. daily. He always brings a positive attitude, participates eagerly, and maintains strong grades.

Way to go Adam!!!

⏰ Don’t forget to "Spring Forward," Clay County!
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
