Today we are proud to recognize an outstanding example of student-athlete leadership at Keystone Heights Junior/Senior High School. Congratulations to Ryder Thomas, recipient of the Driven to Excellence Award, sponsored by Gordon Chevrolet of Orange Park!

This award was created to shine a light on the exceptional student leadership found across Clay County — and Ryder truly represents what it means to lead with excellence.

Ryder is a dedicated four-sport athlete at Keystone Heights, competing in football, soccer, cross country, and track & field. His commitment, determination, and leadership have made him a respected role model among teammates, coaches, and fellow students.

Beyond athletics, Ryder has distinguished himself through an extraordinary level of involvement and leadership on campus. He serves as President of Keystone’s Athletic Leadership Council and is actively involved in numerous organizations, including the National Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Future Farmers of America, Student Council, Students for Christ, the District Athletic Leadership Council, and as a founding member of the school’s Spanish Honor Society.

Ryder’s impact extends far beyond the classroom and athletic fields. Through his involvement with the Athletic Leadership Council, school events, and local churches, he has accumulated more than 100 volunteer service hours. His dedication to serving others reflects outstanding character and a genuine commitment to making a positive difference in his community.

In addition to excelling as a leader, volunteer, and multi-sport athlete, Ryder has maintained an impressive 3.9 GPA. His ability to balance rigorous academics, athletic competition, leadership responsibilities, and community service speaks volumes about his discipline, work ethic, and commitment to excellence.

Ryder’s ability to lead through service, academics, and athletics truly sets him apart. He is a shining example of what it means to be Driven to Excellence.

Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, Ryder!

🚌 CCDS 2026-2027 BUS REGISTRATION TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 🚌

Clay County families, are you working on registering your student for bus transportation for the upcoming school year? Remember, all students must be registered by JULY 17, 2026! We know some families have run into a few technical hiccups while filling out the Transportation Opt-In Form, so we’ve put together a quick guide to help you resolve the two most common issues:

🛑 Is your form greyed out? Your student might not be linked yet!
If you can't click the form, it usually means your student hasn't been added to your portal account. To fix this, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Head directly to 💻 sdcc.mybusplanner.com and log in to your Parent Portal account.
2️⃣ Select “Add Student”.
3️⃣ Enter your student’s information EXACTLY as it appears in official school records (you will need their Student ID, birth date, street number, and correct school).
4️⃣ Click “Add Student”.
5️⃣ Once successfully linked, your student will appear in your account! Now, go to “Online Forms & Requests” and select the 2026–2027 Student Transportation Opt-In Form.
✨ The form will auto-fill your student’s information for you! Just review it for accuracy, hit Submit, and look for a confirmation message at the top of the page so you know it went through successfully.

🔒 Locked out of your account?
To protect student security, entering incorrect information multiple times will automatically lock your account for 24 hours. If this happens, you have two options:

Option A: Wait 24 hours before attempting to log in and add your student again.

Option B (Fast Track): Email us at [email protected] with the email address you used to sign up and your student's ID number, and our team can manually override the lock for you!

📅 What’s next?
Once you are registered, official bus routes will be made available around the 3rd week of July via the Chipmunk app.

📞 Still need help? We’re here for you!
If you are still experiencing issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Clay County District Schools Transportation Office directly:
📧 Email: [email protected]
📞 Phone: 904-336-0001
⏰ Summer Office Hours: Monday – Thursday from 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
