Walton County School District COVID-19 Mitigation Strategies for the 2021-2022 School Year
*Please keep in mind that although COVID positive cases may represent a student or staff member within the WCSD, it does not necessarily indicate that the virus originated within the WCSD. It is also important to note that a portion of the positive cases involve individuals who may have never entered the school setting while sick due to proper quarantining.
What an amazing Livestock Event at the Walton County Fair Tuesday Night. Our students were extraordinary in their showings of these “Projects”! We remain astonished by the work of Mrs. McDaniel, the Agricultural Programs and the vital partnerships with Farm Bureau, parents of students, community members that contributed and collaborated in such an astounding show! This is more evidence of our commitment to “Preparing the Whole Child for a Life of Success”! Congratulations students, parents, community members, Principal Brent Jones and all of those who make this happen each year. We can’t wait for the auction tonight.
