- If a person is sick (students, teachers, staff, and visitors), they should stay home.
- Hand sanitizer is available at various areas inside the school.
- Cleaning and disinfecting school facilities/buses which are occupied by students will be completed daily.
- Adequate mitigation supplies are on hand at all schools/facilities (hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, etc.).

WCSD Students Impress the "Shark Judges"
April 11, 2022
Shark Tank hosted by Walton Area Chamber at a CHELCO sponsored luncheon gave WCSD Leadership students from Freeport, Paxton, and South Walton an opportunity to use their Innovative, business, collaborative and Public Speaking Skills today. What a treat it is to have Mrs. Megan Harrison and her staff organize such an event and make this a major learning experience for our students. Our students rose to the occasion and impressed the audience of Business Leaders county wide, but most importantly attempted to impress the “Shark Judges”! Paxton won the investing, but all were extremely impressive!! EPIC is the way!!!!
Congratulations to Zoe Orange (PHS Sophomore) who placed Fourth in the State Science Fair!
