📚🇺🇸 Learning Civics in action!

What a great way to bring civics to life!

#WelcomeBackOneClay #OneClayStudents #BackToSchool2026 #ClayCountySchools #FLEducation #DiscoveringEndlessPossibilities
The backpacks are packed, and the alarms are set! 🎒⏰
As our students head back to class tomorrow morning for the first day of the new school year, it’s the perfect time for a quick refresher on getting to school safely. Whether you walk, ride, or drive, we all play a part in keeping our school community safe.
Check out these tips to help us all arrive safe:
🚶♂️ WALK SAFE!
Heads Up, Phone Down! Stay alert and aware of your surroundings.
Use sidewalks and cross only at corners and crosswalks.
Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT before crossing.
Be seen!
🚲 RIDE SAFE! (Bikes, E-Bikes, & E-Scooters)
Helmet On: Wear a helmet—it’s the LAW for riders under 16!
Obey all traffic laws, stop signs, and traffic lights.
Ride with traffic, stay off your phone, and yield to walkers on the sidewalk.
E-Riders: You are fast and quiet. Drivers don't always expect you—be extra alert and slow down at intersections!
🚌 BUS SAFE!
Wait in a safe place well away from the road.
Board or cross ONLY when the driver gives you the "OK" signal.
Stay seated and keep the aisle clear.
Drivers: Please review the "School Bus Safety Rules" graphic below so you know exactly when you MUST stop!
🚗 DRIVE SAFE!
Slow down, especially in school zones.
Expect the unexpected—look twice for kids at every intersection, driveway, and crosswalk.
Give bicyclists at least 3 feet of clearance.
Put the phone away, no texting, and focus on the road.
Let's work together to make the first day back a safe one. Share this post with your students and neighbors to help spread the word!
Be Seen. Be Smart. Be Safe.
We can't wait to see you tomorrow! 📚✨

🚲 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! 🎒✨
