College and Career Experiential Learning Experiences for our High School Students this Past Year Alone
Superintendent Message
January 7, 2025
Hello WCPS Families,
I hope you enjoyed a restful and rejuvenating holiday break. I often find these breaks to be great opportunities to take a step back from our busy routines and cherish these moments with family and friends. As we embrace the upcoming second semester, let us look forward to new and engaging opportunities for growth and learning. Together, we can make the second half of the year an enriching experience for all of our students, families, and staff.
As a reminder, the WCPS Board of Education approved 10 Non-Traditional Instruction Days (NTI) to be used for health and safety in the 2024-25 school year. In the case of inclement weather, an NTI day may be used to continue the learning process in a remote format; thus, all students are expected to participate in virtual learning. Should an NTI day be utilized, families will be notified through Infinite Campus (email and text), the media and social media. This is an excellent opportunity to double-check Infinite Campus for the contact information you provided earlier in the year. You can click here for a link to Infinite Campus, if you don’t have your username and password, please contact your child’s school.
Be sure to mark Wednesday, January 15, 5:30 p.m. at South Warren High School on your calendar as we look forward to our annual celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This event is one of the highlights of our year as we celebrate the life and contributions of Dr. King while showcasing the remarkable talents of many of our WCPS students who help make this a memorable event every year!
Now in its sixth year, the recognition honors public high schools that excel at preparing students to enroll and succeed in college, as determined by available data in each state.
