Additional note about 5th Grade Ads

Caregivers can submit a 5th Grade Ad for your child for this year’s yearbook. Ads are optional, larger than previous years (1/4 page), and are available for purchase from Josten's HERE

If you choose to submit a 5th Grade Ad, please be aware of the following standards:

• Ads submissions should be about your own child

• The purpose of a 5th Grade Ad is to send your child to middle school with a positive note

• Ad submissions should be positive statements that affirm the student

All yearbook content and entries are subject to review by Clayton Elementary administrators. Please contact our principal, Karen McCollum, with any questions at karen.mccollum@austinisd.org.
