Due to the storm in the Gulf of Mexico that is expected to impact our area, we are canceling school and all school-related activities for Wednesday, August 30. All after-school activities scheduled for Tuesday will still take place. We will continue to monitor the situation and as soon as we can determine factors such as road conditions and power outages following the storm, we will make a decision on whether we will return to normal school operations on Thursday. We will communicate all updates to you via ClassTag and local media. Please take proper precautions to keep you and your family safe.

To: Parents of Pre-K Students in SY23-24
The State of Georgia has made some changes to Pre-K class sizes for the upcoming school year. The maximum number of students for each homeroom class will be 20 students. Please understand that this is a state decision, not a local one. This may potentially impact the number of classes we are able to offer at each school as well as the number of students who are placed on waiting lists. We will do our very best to ensure that all children applying for Pre-K have the opportunity to participate. Pre-K registration remains open through April 30. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Karla Ogden at KOgden2@wayne.k12.ga.us or at 912-427-1000, ext. 380.

One of our WCHS students, Tyler Turner, has created a public service announcement for Georgia Public Broadcasting and he needs YouTube likes to win a Macbook Pro and have his video featured on GPB during the upcoming football playoff broadcasts. Tyler is one of the state finalists for the 2022 Buckle Up Student Video Contest and he can win by having the most YouTube likes for his video. Please take just a few moments to view his 30-second video and give him a like. Please also feel free to share the link with friends and family and encourage them to give their like as well. If you have multiple YouTube accounts, you can like the video multiple times. As of 10:15 this morning, Tyler currently has 140 likes – spread the word and let’s get him at least a thousand by the end of the day. Voting is open for the next two weeks.
Thanks!

Nov. 10, 7:45 A.M. - All after-school activities for today are canceled. This includes sporting events, practices, meetings, professional development, and WCHS Alternative School. -------------------------------------------- Nov. 9, 2:45 P.M. - As of our most recent meeting with Wayne Emergency Management, it looks like the weather will begin to impact our area in the early afternoon of Thursday, November 10, and will last until early morning Friday. We are being advised that it will be more like a series of storms and not one consistent weather event. As of now, we do not anticipate canceling school. We have advised schools to cancel or postpone contests or meetings after school on Thursday. Groups can still practice unless we determine those activities need to be canceled as well. Emergency Management officials anticipate the inclement weather moving out of our area early Friday. We will continue to monitor the weather and make changes as needed.
