Things are getting a little "wacky" over here! 🤪🎨 Ms. Richard and Mrs. Ellsworth’s classes are celebrating Dr. Seuss all week long, and yesterday's Wacky Wednesday Art project did not disappoint. From mismatched colors to wild designs, our students are proving that there’s no such thing as too much imagination!

"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!" — Dr. Seuss

🏫 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!
