It’s been a busy week at WWPS! Check out some of our WWPS kids in action and working hard researching and presenting, in art, graphing, and enjoying celebrating Citizenship with administrators!
Teachers and students both at WWPS are learners. Our teachers participated in Professional Learning on Literacy, and on Friday they enjoyed biscuits from Chick Fil A Thomson and grits from our awesome cafeteria staff!
Don't forget...
Planting seeds of knowledge, pride and success daily is our motto at WWPS! Our teachers work diligently to provide this for all students!
Wear Red, White, & Blue
September 11th
At WWPS, our theme is "Planting Seeds of Knowledge, Pride, and Success." At the start of the year, our staff symbolically planted seeds representing the potential for success. We also hosted a contest across various categories to celebrate and nurture these seeds of growth.
The following were the winners:
First to Sprout-Mary Wylie
Tallest/Longest-Tiffani Andrews
First to Die-Denise Armour and Jessica Wright (tie)
We aim to plant countless seeds that will foster student growth throughout the year!
These students were chosen by their teacher to represent their class as the very first citizen. They have started the school year off right by showing PAWS Pride and having a "Positive Attitude." We are so proud of all of you! Keep up the good work!
Mrs. Dawson's class is showing their TIGER PRIDE today and are yelling, "GO BIG BLUE!"
3rd Grader, Diamonique Anderson , read to Mrs. Turman's class yesterday. Diamonique, we think this is pretty AWESOME! Keep up the good work!

Addy’s Law is NOW in effect as of July 1, 2024
Wilkes County, GA Schools start back on Monday, August 5, 2024! Please share this post to help keep our kids safe and avoid hefty fines. Law enforcement will be strictly monitoring for anyone ignoring school signs and signals.
Under the new law, this violation is now classified as a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature. The fines have increased to a minimum of $1,000, and offenders still face up to 12 months in jail. Additionally, drivers will incur six points on their license for this violation. All Wilkes County buses are equipped with stop-arm cameras. These cameras capture footage providing clear evidence for law enforcement agencies to issue citations. This means, even if there is no law enforcement on scene when you pass the bus, you could still be charged based on the camera.
Safety Reminders for Motorists:
1. The best practice is to always stop when you see a school bus.
2. Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is about to stop to load or unload children. Slow down and prepare to stop.
3. You can start moving again only when the red flashing lights turn off, the stop-arm is retracted, and the bus starts moving.
4. Never pass on the right side of the bus where children enter or exit. This is illegal and extremely dangerous.
5. Slow down and be vigilant for children walking in the street, especially in areas without sidewalks. Watch for kids playing or gathering near bus stops.
6. Avoid distractions while driving. Be alert, as children arriving for the bus might run into the street without checking for traffic.
7. Be cautious of young people who might be distracted and unaware of the traffic around them.
We are ready for the First Day of the 2024-25 school year! Can't wait to see you Monday, August 5!!
