Our Simmons Fun Run fundraiser will be kicking off in just a few weeks! We are on a quest to raise funds for continued upgraded playground equipment, as well as PBSIS incentives. During the Boosterthon campaign, students will be helping their school by getting donations and embarking on the “Castle Quest” character theme. The program culminates with an exhilarating Fun Run.

Hello Clayton Parents and Guardians,
We have seen an increase in the number of students needing to be sent home, as well as an increase in the flu and stomach virus in the community. I would like to remind everyone that if your child has had a fever, vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours they should not return to school. Please also remember they need to be fever free without medication in order to return to school. If they are not feeling well in the morning it is better to keep them home and see their doctor than send them to the nurses office once they arrive at school. Let's work together to keep our students and community healthy.
Thank you,
Alicia Fragoso
