Healthy and delicious breakfast & lunch options are available at your child's school! Menus are available here (listed individually by school.)
Welcome back all Clayton Middle School Clippers! We hope you all had an enjoyable summer! For parents and students new to our building, I would like to provide you with some information that will help with procedures and maneuvering throughout our complex.
All Middle School students must enter the building through the cafeteria entrance. Cafeteria doors open at 7:25am. Middle school students who are commuting by car, may use the “loop” and the parking lot located off of Pop Kramer Blvd or enter through Clinton Street.
Please commute through the parking lot with patience. The first 2 weeks of school, drop-off and dismissal times may appear hectic and crowded, but as routines are set, the traffic usually thins out and commuting through the parking lot becomes easier to navigate.
The cafeteria doors will be locked by 7:45am. All late students arriving after 7:45am will be permitted to enter through the front middle school doors for late sign in.
We can’t wait to see you!!!
Thank you
Mr. Tucker
MS Principal
