Clayton Public School District will be closed Friday, April 18th through Friday April 25th for Spring Break 2025. We look forward to seeing the students on Monday, April 28th! Have a safe, relaxing and rejuvenating break!
A huge thank you to the entire Clayton community for their support in this year's Boosterthon fundraiser! The students had a blast all week while on their castle quest and raising money for future playground upgrades. Our school reached our goal which meant Mrs. Perez and Mrs. Fragoso got turned into human nacho plates!
