We are proud to announce that Washington-Wilkes Primary School and Washington-Wilkes Elementary School have earned the 2025-2026 John Hancock Banner and Proficiency Ribbon from the Georgia Department of Education! WWPS and WWES are two of only 307 schools across Georgia to receive this recognition.
The John Hancock Award recognizes schools for excellence in cursive writing instruction and student proficiency. WWPS and WWES earned this recognition by demonstrating that at least 90 percent of participating students can successfully write their names in cursive. Learning cursive gives students the chance to develop their own unique handwriting, build confidence, and strengthen important writing skills. It is a skill they can carry with them for years to come and one that connects them to the handwritten history all around us.
Congratulations to the students, teachers, and staff at WWPS and WWES on this outstanding achievement! We are proud to celebrate their hard work and this well-deserved recognition.
Washington-Wilkes Primary School conducted its required intruder drill this morning as part of our ongoing school safety efforts. Our students and staff did a great job following procedures and practicing what to do in an emergency. Safety drills are an important part of keeping our school prepared, and the safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority.

Wilkes County School Nutrition is pleased to announce that we will continue participating in the USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) through the National School Lunch Program for the 2026–2027 school year.
What does this mean for your family?
Every student enrolled in Wilkes County Schools from Pre-K through 12th grade will receive both breakfast and lunch at no cost each school day. CEP allows eligible schools to provide free, nutritious meals to all students regardless of household income. No action is required from parents or guardians—no applications to complete and no meal fees to pay. Just one more way we’re working to support student health and academic success.
A la carte items (such as ice cream, chips, beverages, etc.) will be available for purchase at all schools. Students must have money in hand or funds in their account to buy these items. Payments for a la carte items, second meals, or any prior meal balances can be made in person with cash or check, or online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Elizabeth Bohler with the Wilkes County School Nutrition Department at bohlere@wilkes.k12.ga.us or 706-678-2718.
The first day of school is Friday, July 31st! If you haven't already, be sure to visit our Back-to-School Page for important information, including school supply lists, transportation information, school hours, and more.
