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.

Local law enforcement officials will be using the Martha Smith Elementary School campus for some training on the morning of July 21. We wanted to make you aware so that in the event that you see law enforcement and/or emergency response vehicles on site, you will know what is taking place. Please do not be alarmed if you see a large number of vehicles or hear unusual sounds at the school. The training is scheduled to end around noon.

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.
