Due to the coming winter storm and potential inclement weather, Clayton Municipal Schools will be on remote learning for Thursday November 7th and Friday November 8th, 2024. Please stay safe and warm.
We needed to change the Raton game from 11/09 to Monday 11/04 at 5PM. Here is the link for tickets. https://gofan.co/event/1671098?schoolId=NM12114
Due to concerns in the community, Clayton Municipal Schools were in a shelter in place for about 30 minutes. This means that the students all stay in doors during that time. The situation has calmed enough to return to normal classes.
