It was so great to celebrate Mr. David Vargas at the JCPS Leading with the Heart Ceremony last night. On paper Mr. Vargas is our Head Custodian but to WCES he is so much more! We appreciate all that you do for us Mr. Vargas as you lead with your heart each and every day.
We are so excited to celebrate alongside Ms. Kim Sigmon as she was recently nominated for JCPS Counselor or the Year. Ms. Sigmon is currently the only counselor we have at WCES, serving close to 800 students each and every day. Thank you for all that you do Ms. Sigmon!
We are so excited to share that we held our first Debate Club Meeting this week. Students initiated, researched, and are implementing the club. It was a great success and we look forward to continuing to empower students as they dive into their passions and make things happen!
5th Grade Parents!!! This is an opportunity you may want to look into.
Innovation Academy at South Campus is the only Choice Middle School for Johnston
County Public Schools. We are a three-year program that serves 6th-8th grade. Our
school extends an invitation to all incoming 6th graders in Johnston County. Students will be expected to meet criteria comparable to that of the JCPS Choice High School
programs and will be given priority access to those programs. The target groups for
enrollment include first-generation college students, potential AVID participants, and those demonstrating a strong work ethic and significant potential. This inclusive approach aims to create a diverse and dynamic learning community that fosters all students' academic excellence and personal growth.
Good morning! Bus 756 will be approximately one hour late this morning. Bus 683 will run the route.
Read Across America Spirit Week is coming up March 4-8th. Check out the image to see the theme for each day!
March is National Reading Month, and we are celebrating with a month-long Read-a-Thon! Our goal is to encourage students to read as much as possible while keeping it fun and rewarding. Families can share their student's progress with family and friends and give money as a motivator to read. All donations will go toward adding more books to our school library and to special projects around the school. Let's celebrate reading!
Bus 172 will be approximately 20 minutes late this morning.

One of our safety protocols is the use of a Car Rider Tag Number to make sure we are sending students home with the right person. Please make sure your tag is visible to our staff. If you do not have it, you'll be asked to park and check your student out in the office so that ID can be verified.
Check out this opportunity for our community!
