WOOLWICH CENTRAL SCHOOL
June 9, 2023
Great things are happening at WCS!
On Wednesday, we were treated to a visit from former Wildcat MHS seniors! The high schoolers got to tour the building and see some familiar teachers and classrooms while our students & staff applauded. We can't wait to see how these young people go on to change the world!
LIBRARY BOOKS ARE DUE MONDAY!
LOST & FOUND
Please remember to check the Lost & Found for any of your missing items. Currently, we have a wide selection of sweatshirts! All items will be donated after the last day of school.
6/14: FLAG DAY
- IT'S OFFICIAL: The last day of school for K-12 will be Thursday, June 22! This will be a half day for students, with dismissal happening at 11:55am. The last day of school for Pre-K will be June 15th!
- Field Day is happening next Thursday on 6/15. Please send your student dressed in light-weight clothing and make sure they have water to stay hydrated!
- We had a fire drill this week and students and staff followed procedures perfectly. Having a plan at school is important, but so is having one for home. Talk with your student to be sure they know what to do in case of a fire at home.
