The Clayton School Board would like to announce the start of the process to replace District Administrator Ed Cerney, who will be leaving his position with the school district on June 30, 2023. The new administrator will be hired to start work on July 1, 2023. The School Board has enlisted the services of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards to assist in facilitating the search process. The Clayton Board of Education is interested in gathering input from staff and the community related to the hiring of a new district administrator. A Community Survey is one of the tools being used to help gather information from the various stakeholders in the district. The information gathered from the Community Survey will assist the board in the creation of a profile outlining the skills and characteristics sought in the candidates applying for the position and will also be used in the development of questions to be used in the interviews. The Community Survey can be accessed beginning January 13, 2023 on the Clayton School District website. The link to the survey will remain open through February 15, 2023. Please take a few moments to complete the survey, to assist the school board with finding the candidate that best matches the needs of the school district.

Congratulations to our middle school and high school students of the month! In the middle school our student of the month, Rylea Wynn, was nominated by Mr. Jacob Traynor. Mr. Traynor said, "Rylea deserves to be student of the month for responsibility because every day she comes to class prepared, she turns everything in on time. She consistently produces exceptionally high quality complete assignments/products. She is never tardy and she always asks permission before leaving the classroom. She also takes incentive to help out her classmates with different things they have trouble understanding. She genuinely loves school, has a positive attitude every day and she not only accepts the responsibilities of being a student, but she clearly takes pride in being a responsible student. Our high school student of the month, Marie Vandenbrink, was nominated by Mrs. Terri Magnuson. Mrs. Magnuson said, "I am nominating Marie because she is a student that takes her academic responsibilities very seriously. Marie comes to class with her work finished, asks questions when she doesn’t understand, and does what is expected of students. She goes above and beyond when she is absent. She takes the initiative to email her teachers when she is gone so she has the work completed as soon as possible. Marie’s extra efforts are appreciated! Marie also helps out with the family duties; especially helping out with her younger siblings."

The Clayton Music Department is once again selling holiday wreaths, garland, swag and crosses! Bergmann’s Greenhouses will make all the wreaths and garland.
