We can't wait to see all our students back in the classroom. 🏫🐻😁💜
It was awesome seeing the Clayton students at the Barron County Fair this summer! Whether you were showing livestock or just hanging out, you all did a great job. We’re so proud of the hard work you put in. Way to go, everyone! 🎡
Get ready for the first day of school with a quick game of "This or That"!
We’re just two days away from the big day! How is everyone feeling? We want to hear from you: what are your students looking forward to the most this year?
Drop your answers in the comments below, and let’s see how our community is preparing for the start of the school year. 🍎🚌
School District News from the District Administrator
Good afternoon, Clayton Community,
Earlier this spring, I shared with the school board that the 2026–27 school year will be my final year as District Administrator in Clayton. I have been honored to be a part of the Clayton community. I often tell my colleagues, “Clayton is a wonderful school district, and I am so fortunate to have worked in Clayton.”
As we discussed the future direction of the school district, the school board decided to appoint Ryan Schradle as the new District Administrator for the Clayton School District as of July 1, 2027. Ryan will also serve as the Junior/Senior High School Principal. I would like to thank the school board and the community for their support of the school district. I wish nothing but the best for the future of Clayton and its students, families, and staff.
Sincerely, Pat Sturzl
