Whitley County Consolidated Schools Board of School Trustees approved an updated school calendar for the 2024-2025 year to reflect five additional professional development (or teacher only) days for our staff.
The additional staff-only days were added through a 1003 waiver approved by the State. Students attend 5 fewer days during the school year but still exceed state guidelines for the number of required instructional minutes for the school year.
The change in calendar provides WCCS staff professional development opportunities to advance district strategic plan pillars of Comprehensive Student Experience, Employee Experience and Organizational Excellence.
Find the calendar on the WCCS App or online at wccsonline.com.
We are looking for instrument donations to help students who can not afford instruments for the upcoming school year.
If you know of some collecting dust, we'll gladly help put them back to use. Contact Mrs. Gaff with any questions or to donate.
Congratulations to Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. Ford, and the cast and crew of Star Warts: The Umpire Strikes Back for a fantastic performance this evening.
Our staff at the CCHS Cafeteria recently received this note from a student : "Me and my friend were late to lunch and even though they already put everything up they still had smiles on their faces and were more than happy to give us lunch. They were so sweet and asked us what we wanted and she asked us if we wanted a brownie and we said yes, she took the biggest ones out of the bottom.. .and gave them to us. It was so sweet she took the time to do that and that they weren't rude or upset or anything. I think about their kindness every day." Way to serve and care for our students ladies!
Period 7 Science classes were the final group for the 6th Grade Science Outdoor Action Days. Representatives from the state department of agriculture and county soil and water departments will be at ISMS running stations to help students see firsthand how human impact can be positive and negative on our ecosystems and give them tools to help change some of those negative impacts. Students are participating in chemical water testing, macroinvertebrate ID, seed germination and stratification, and native vs. invasive species stations. Be sure to check in with your 6th grader about their experiences in Science this week. We are learning a lot about the health of our streams and forest ecosystem.
Congratulations!
