Good evening! Did you know that East Clayton is an AVID Elementary School? We support AVID's mission by creating an environment of college and career readiness for all students. Tomorrow we will celebrate national AVID day! We ask that students wear their favorite college tees or clothing to make their future goals visible! Students are welcome to wear hats if the hats are college themed! Please visit the site to learn more about AVID Day and our #AVIDImpact!

Welcome back to school!🍎
It's the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year! Today will be full of excitement and some nerves for everyone, but we know this will be an amazing year. Here's to new adventures in learning.
Have a great day! 😎

Good evening, Kindergarten families! This is your Principal, Lauren Sabo, with a reminder about Open House tomorrow night. We will open doors for entry at 5pm, and classroom sessions will begin soon after. Teachers will be sharing lots of information with you about the classrooms and school procedures. If you are unsure of your child's teacher, please come to the school and we can help you. From 6pm-6:30pm, we will host a family session in the cafeteria with administrators. We will be discussing ways to be involved in the school community. We can't wait to see you tomorrow night!
