Hello WCPS Families,

I was excited to celebrate our 1,100 graduates as they accepted their diplomas this May! This moment marks the beginning of their next adventure, whether it’s heading to college or launching into their careers. This is truly my favorite time of year as I reflect on the positive impact and influence created by the collective efforts of Team WCPS. I am confident that our students’ academic journey with WCPS will position them to be better prepared for the ever-changing world that awaits them as they transition to their next chapter in life. 

Warren County Public Schools is excited to provide multiple meal pickups for our students during June and July, along with breakfast and lunch at the School Bus Cafe and school-based sites. The multiple meals may be picked up by parents or guardians on behalf of children 18 or under at the five sites listed on the specified days. Children do not have to be present, although families may be asked to verify their home address, as this impacts future program funding. This service is made possible through USDA waivers that support flexible meal access in rural areas. Special thanks to Kelly Holt, Director of Nutrition & Dining, and his outstanding team who go above and beyond to ensure every child in Warren County has access to tasty and nutritious meals! More information can be found in the flyer below.

Congratulations to our elementary schools that participated in the Ball Can-Do recycling contest. The contest was the result of a collaboration between WCPS, Ball Corporation, SA Recycling and Recycling is like Magic! nonprofit organization. This contest ran the duration of this academic year, and it was great to see so many of our students supporting recycling efforts as they learned about converting waste into reusable material. The top finishers in the contest were:

• Briarwood Elementary with 51,625 cans
• Cumberland Trace Elementary with 38,535 cans
• Alvaton Elementary with 33,810 cans
• Rockfield Elementary with 33,600 cans
• Warren Elementary with 31,290 cans

Rich Pond Elementary partnered with Crown Cork & Seal and SA Recycling, participating in a different division of the contest and collected 84,665 cans this academic year! Thanks to all 15 WCPS elementary schools for participating in these contests that reflect the leadership skills of our students and support our greater community! 

WCPS’ Transportation Department is hosting a bus driver/monitor job fair on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 8:00 -11:00 a.m. at the Transportation Department (800 Brookwood Drive). They will hire part-time drivers for Early Learning Academy preschool routes and full-time drivers for other routes! Please encourage anyone you know that may be interested to attend. 

I hope you have a happy and safe summer break!

Respectfully,

Rob Clayton
