CEO provides students with opportunities to learn, lead, build connections, and grow through real-world experiences—and we’re excited to see where this year takes them.
We can’t wait to watch the confidence, skills, and growth that develop along the way. Best of luck to these two as they begin an exciting year!

What a great day in science! Mrs. Ahlfield's third graders were learning that the scientists need to build models of things to see how they work. The students then built a swing model. They had to get creative with what they were given to use!
A Friendly Reminder to Parents & Guardians:
Regular attendance plays an important role in your child’s success at school. When students are here each day, they have more opportunities to stay caught up with lessons, participate in class, and build positive learning habits.
We understand that absences happen! If your student will be absent, please be sure to let us know. Attendance calls are made each morning, but you can also report an absence by calling the school at 618-676-1431 or emailing Jessica May at jmay@claycityschools.org or Hannah Estes at hestes@claycityschools.org.
Please remember: If we do not receive communication regarding a student’s absence, the absence will be marked unexcused.
You can also check your student’s attendance and grades anytime through TeacherEase.
Thank you for keeping us informed and for partnering with us to help your student have a successful school year! We truly appreciate your support! 💙

It was Senior Sunrise for the Class of 2027 this morning! Some of the seniors met at the school this morning for donuts, milk, and orange juice to catch the sunrise. Even though the clouds had other plans, the students had a great time starting their senior year together!
Clay City teachers attended a countywide professional development event alongside Flora and North Clay teachers at Flora High School this morning.
