🚨 School Operations Update 🚨
Wilkinson County Schools will continue asynchronous learning on Friday, January 24, due to ongoing safety concerns with road conditions that impact several bus routes.
We have consulted with our Transportation Director, County Road Supervisor, and local LEA to make this decision with safety as our top priority. We plan to resume normal operations on Monday, January 27.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to ensure everyone’s safety. Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!
Warrior Nation: Out of an abundance of caution and the threat of refreezing tonight, tomorrow, Thursday, January 23rd, will be an ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING DAY for Wilkinson County Schools. All games, practices, and activities are canceled. This decision reflects our commitment to the safety of our staff, students, and families. Stay safe, Warriors!

At WCMS, student conferences are a vital part of teaching, learning, and achieving goals together!
