Our first Kona Day this school year will be on Friday, September 11th!
You should receive flyers for distribution in Tuesday folders, but here is some helpful information:
This link will take you directly to pre-pay for one day or for the entire year if you scroll over to see the "season pass option"! The season pass can only be purchased before the FIRST Kona Ice day & will not be an option later.
https://customer.kona-ice.com/#/K55X2616326
Season passes for ALL KONA ICE DAYS will ONLY be for sale until 8pm on Thursday, September 10th - and they will cover that student for the remainder of the year. You can also pre-pay for each individual day right before, but the season pass is very convenient as the year gets busy! :)

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! 📚✨

We are excited to announce that this year, SPS has partnered with Baker's Sports to provide a school store with shirt options for our families this year. This will allow you to order tshirts, run/walk shirts, and sweatshirts as you need or want for your scholar all year long! All orders will be placed directly on their website and then shipped right to your home!
Please note that ordering a school shirt is never required, simply optional and takes 2-4 weeks for delivery!

🚲 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! 🎒✨
