Celebrating Our Incredible Adminstrative Professionals!
At West Clayton Elementary, we’re lucky to have an administrative professional team that keeps our school grounded, organized, and welcoming every single day.
Whether it’s managing the front office, supporting staff, or lending a kind word to students and families, you make a difference in more ways than we can count.
Thank you for being the calm in the chaos and the friendly face that greets our Bulldog family each day. We appreciate you more than words can say!
