WTS Homecoming Spirit week will be January 27th-January 31st
Schools will be closed on Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There will be no school for students on Tuesday and Wednesday due to teacher workdays, except for CCCA, which will remain on its regular schedule.
We are also closely monitoring the weather for any potential issues that may affect this week’s schedule.
WTS 5th grade students in Mrs. Cox's ELA class are reading and researching about the global water crisis and learning why clean water is essential for life. Today, students used water bottles , coffee grounds , paper and rocks to show how dirty water can be filtered. Students observed how the different layers trapped the coffee grounds and the color changes in the water.
The 100th day of school is coming up! Be sure to have your 100th day t-shirts for this special day!
Due to potential weather-related issues on the western end of Columbus County, all schools will dismiss early at 2 PM today. This decision ensures that buses have adequate time to complete their routes safely before conditions potentially deteriorate.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the well-being of our students and staff.
Columbus County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Thursday, January 9th for students, faculty, and staff due to a cold weather advisory and wind chills expected to be in the low teens.
