What a night!
On December 10th, Washington County Elementary lit up the floor with their Multicultural Cantata / Parent Night! 🎶💃 Through songs, dances, and spoken word poetry, our amazing students shared how Christmas is celebrated around the world, spreading messages of unity, kindness, and holiday joy. What a heartwarming way to honor the beauty of diversity in our school community! ❤️🌍✨
Due to freezing temperatures that will not rise before mid-morning, and with many of our roads being untreated (with possible black-ice in the morning), WCS will be closing all schools tomorrow, Dec. 9, 2025. Please stay tuned to our website, parent contact systems, and social media for updates regarding return to learn dates. A makeup day will be scheduled for a future date in January. Please be safe on the roads if you have to travel in the morning.

🙏🏽 To Our Dedicated Instructional Coaches 🙏🏽
We realized that October 6th was National Instructional Coaches Day, and in the busyness of everything happening, we didn't pause to celebrate you on that day. So we're taking this moment now, because your impact on our teachers and students deserves to be recognized, no matter the date on the calendar.
Thank you for being the bridge between vision and practice in the classrooms. Your work often happens behind the scenes, in planning sessions, side-by-side coaching moments, and countless conversations, but its impact resonates in every lesson taught and every student reached.
You celebrate strengths, troubleshoot challenges, and help turn professional development into real classroom transformation. Your ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and provide just-in-time support makes you important to the learning community.
Thank you for your patience when change feels slow, your creativity in finding solutions, and your unwavering belief that every teacher can grow. You model lifelong learning and reflective practice in everything you do. The ripple effect of your work extends far beyond what can be measured. You're shaping teaching, and in turn, shaping the educational experiences of countless students.
We see you, we appreciate you, and we're grateful for all you do.
Many of our neighbors, colleagues, and loved ones with ties to Jamaica are facing the devastating impacts of Hurricane Melisa. We ask our entire community to join us in keeping these families—and all those in the storm’s path—in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for standing together for our community.
Sincerely,
Dr. David O. White
Superintendent
