Superintendents brag on your administrators, admin brag on your teachers/staff, and staff brag on your students. Building positivity and morale isn't rocket science.

Great job 3rd graders!

Never too young to learn Google tools in the technology lab!

Our teachers are making some cool Pear Deck Learning lessons for distance learning!

Several teachers are using @Flipgrid to interact with their students. Mrs. Jones recorded herself reading a chapter from their class novel and then students respond to her prompts via their own Flipgrid video.

Congratulations to our first 3 Indian Pride award winning classrooms since switching to distance learning! #virtualPBIS

We’re lucky to have the Clay Education Foundation that supports our teachers and students well!

Our teachers have enjoyed the virtual Teach Your Heart Out conference that we hosted on campus. They loved gerry brooks’s keynote yesterday and the breakouts have been great!

We are so thankful for our partnership with The Chemours Company so just donated 16 laptops for our technology lab so Ms. Ochoa @Techsavvykhe can teach more Microsoft Hacking STEM lessons! 🖥

Way to go KHE! We have been recognized by the Florida PBIS project as a 2019-20 GOLD 🌟🏆 🌟 PBIS Model School! As a PBIS Model School, we demonstrate a commitment to positive and equitable outcomes for all of our students! 💙♥️ #keystonestrong ♥️💙

Did you know that the average age of our school facilities is 38 years old? The maintenance needs are endless and the state has cut funding to use for these projects. Clay needs more than $300 million for maintenance to keep schools running and updated - oneclay.net/EDFIRST.

Love seeing my former students (and 1 is my nephew) being good teammates and friends!
