Today, Clayton Public School District is excited to launch our new Climate Literacy Academy, made possible through the Climate Literacy Innovative Opportunity Grant.
Over the next three weeks, middle school students will participate in hands-on learning experiences that explore climate science, environmental stewardship, and real-world problem-solving.
We're proud to partner with Stockton University and the Climate Change Learning Collaborative (CCLC) to provide engaging, inquiry-based experiences that inspire curiosity and empower students to become informed environmental stewards.
Thank you to the New Jersey Department of Education for investing in innovative opportunities that help prepare our students for the future.
🌱 Learning today. Leading tomorrow.

Clayton Public School District has received an additional $46,000 in supplemental funding to expand our High-Impact Tutoring Program this summer. Our Summer Learning Acceleration Academy will provide targeted small-group instruction to help students in grades 6-9 strengthen academic skills and start the new school year with confidence.
💙 Supporting students today. Preparing for tomorrow.
