Clayton High School

Due to current icy conditions and out of an abundance of caution to keep our students and staff safe, Clayton Public School District will operate on a 2-HOUR DELAY on:

Thursday, January 29
Friday, January 30

This additional time allows for safer road conditions and proper preparation of school facilities.

Congratulations to our Clayton High School Clippers of the Month for December! 🌟
We’re proud to recognize students who demonstrate leadership, strong character, and a positive influence on our school community. Keep shining!💙💛

Dear Parents,

We wanted to let you know that due to snow removal this week, parking will be very limited. To help ease congestion and keep drop-off and pick-up running smoothly, we’re asking families to carpool whenever possible.

If you’re able to coordinate rides with another family this week, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for your flexibility and cooperation as we navigate the winter conditions.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Stay healthy and safe,
Mr. Tucker and Mr. Slater

Clayton Public School District will have a 2-hour delayed opening on Wednesday, January 28th.

Mr. K says:
PLEASE stay safe, stay warm, and ENJOY THE SNOW DAY! ☃️❄️

🚨 Snow Emergency Parking Notice – Clayton Residents 🚨

With winter weather expected, the Clayton Police Department reminds all residents that vehicles must be removed from roadways to allow for safe and effective snow plowing and emergency response.

🛑 Please also remove basketball nets, trailers, and any other obstructions from the roadway.

🅿️ Temporary alternative parking locations during the snowstorm include:
• DJ Benz Park
• Clayton Senior Center
• Clayton Recreation Center
• Clayton Little League
• Autumn Pasquale Park
• Sandelier Park

Keeping roadways clear helps protect vehicles, Borough equipment, and ensures emergency access for first responders.

⚠️ This notice serves as a final warning. Parking enforcement will issue summonses for vehicles or obstructions left in the roadway during snow removal operations.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe. ❄️🚓

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his timeless reminder that doing what is right always matters. 💙

Greetings Clipper Family,

Entering into the upcoming 3-day weekend, it's important that we understand why exactly we do not have school on Monday. The third Monday in January, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is a federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an extraordinary American who championed civil rights and peacefully advocated for equality. I would like to encourage all of you to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King by volunteering to serve others and to improve your community. Dr. King said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: what are you doing for others?" Let us continue to be inspired by Dr. King’s words and choose to serve others this upcoming holiday.

Respectfully,
Mr. Slater

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Clayton Public School District will be closed on Monday, January 19, 2026.

This day provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of respect, unity, and service in our communities.

School will reopen on Tuesday, January 20TH.

⏰ Reminder, Clayton Families!
We have Early Dismissal this Friday, January 16th.
Thank you for planning ahead to ensure a smooth pickup! 💙💛

Congratulations to Mike Placko as he was honored today at a banquet for NJ State Coach of Year in girls track last year! Well deserved Coach!

Congrats to Lady Clippers wrestling team as they post a win over BCIT today in first ever girls dual meet in school history! Gisele Jones, Reilly Trotter, Alexis Paden, and Kendal Renshaw all posted pins in the win.

This week, a group of former CHS graduates returned to Clayton to serve on a graduate panel for our current seniors. They shared their experiences after high school, spoke about college, careers, gap years, and answered questions about what comes next. It was an awesome opportunity for our former scholars to give back, reconnect with teachers, and help our seniors feel more confident about their future paths. Thank you Clippers!!!
