Happy November!


As we head into a new month, we are excited to continue building on the learning, growth, and positive experiences happening each day at Clayton Middle School. November is a great time to reflect on what we are thankful for, celebrate our students’ hard work, and continue showing responsibility, respect, compassion, perseverance, and integrity in all that we do.


Inside this month’s newsletter, you’ll find important updates, upcoming events, and reminders to help keep your family connected to all things CMS. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to make this a successful school year for our Eagles!


Homework Help:

This is a reminder that students have graded homework assignments each week. If you are unsure about your child’s assignments, please check with them or reach out to their teacher for clarification.


You can also access assignments and grades at any time through the My Parent Portal app. If you need assistance accessing the app or need your username or password, please email nikki.briggs@smyrna.k12.de.us.


Thank you for your continued support in helping our students stay on track and succeed. Wishing all of our CMS families a wonderful November and a happy, restful Thanksgiving!


Erik Wilson, Principal

Laura Massey, Associate Principal
