Due to ongoing construction at Walker Early Learning Center, Wayne County Schools will delay the start of classes until Tuesday, August 25 for students in grades K-12. The first day of preschool will be Tuesday, September 8, with preschool phase-in days set for September 2 and 3. Preschool teachers will reach out to parents to schedule phase-in.
While delaying the opening of school is not optimal, it is necessary to ensure the safety of all students and staff. The Wayne County Board of Education will approve an amended school calendar during their regular monthly meeting on August 20. More details on the remainder of the school schedule will be shared once approved by the board.
Orientations will continue as scheduled this week:
Tuesday, August 4 – Walker ELC, 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM @ Bell
Tuesday, August 4 – WCMS 7th and 8th grade, 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
