Our amazing kitchen staff at Little Turtle Elementary and Mary Raber Montessori made sure to celebrate with their students today! We’re grateful for the little moments that make learning fun and delicious. ❤️🍏
In plain terms, WCCS is lowering debt with less cost to taxpayers during a time of inflation, while still getting what we need for students.
WCCS was applauded by Mr. Schumaker, a Stifel representative, for the "years and years of long-term planning." The district's proposed budget and general obligation bond are able to meet the district's needs, while still reducing the impact on taxpayers. A position that would be envied by many districts across Indiana.
Please take the time to listen to the whole summary. As always, we encourage you to join the conversation. Talk with our team and get involved with our Eagle Advocates program. Learn more at wccsonline.com.

Introducing a new grab-and-go option today at the High School: the Chicken Gyro.
It features seasoned grilled chicken wrapped in a soft pita, topped with fresh veggies and cold, creamy tzatziki sauce. It is fully prepped and ready to grab so you can get through the lunch line faster.
Find it in the grab-and-go section during all lunch periods today.
Shoutout to our amazing Literacy Cadre Coaches, Columbia City High School Academy Coaches, and our Resource Teachers throughout the District! They're the champions behind stronger instruction, empowered teachers and inspired students.
These coaches bring energy, expertise and dedication to our schools. They help shape the learning experiences that make WCCS a place where students grow, explore and achieve.
Join us in thanking them for all they do for our teachers, our classrooms and our community.
Stay up to date in the WCCS app or by checking our events calendar on wccsonline.com.
In every WCCS building, custodians show up before, during, and after school to keep our buildings clean, serve as role models for students, prepare spaces for classes, spread positivity to our teachers, and so much more!
They're truly unsung heroes of our school district, and we appreciate all they do to serve our school community.
If you see one of our school custodians, thank them!
The group interacted with students in the halls, peeked into classrooms, and visited recess at Little Turtle with a tour hosted by principal Julie Turpin.
The new CTE Facility is nearly finished, and CTE Director Lori Heuer just moved in yesterday, so the group saw the learning labs and classrooms taking shape! Programs will move soon!
Eagle Advocates asked great questions and were engaged throughout the whole day. Look for our next gathering to become an Eagle Advocate, too!
This year, synchronous learning begins at 9:30 a.m. for all students. During synchronous learning, everyone logs in at the same time, listens to the teacher, asks questions and works on activities and assignments together. In addition to providing our students with skills and experiences in a blended learning environment, synchronous learning days also enable us to maintain continuity in student learning and reduce the need for make-up days.
We have listed several frequently asked questions and resources on our website at https://www.wccsonline.com/page/synchronous
In the event of synchronous learning, please have students online and ready for their school day beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Happy National School PTO Day, WCCS!
Today we celebrate the incredible parent groups whose energy, creativity and heart strengthen our schools every single day.
At Mary Raber Montessori, the PTSO works to connect families, support students and staff, and create a positive learning environment for all learners. From hosting family events to showing year‑round appreciation for teachers, they make it easy for families to be involved, as much or as little as they choose.
At Coesse Elementary, the PTO may be small in number, but they are mighty in impact. They support students, staff, and families through family fun nights, after‑school programs, field day, classroom contributions, and ongoing staff support.
Today we honor every volunteer, every parent, every caregiver, and every community member who gives their time to help our schools thrive. Your partnership makes a difference!
Thank you, WCCS PTOs, for all you do!
Every school has a PTO or volunteer opportunities to get involved. We encourage you to complete their volunteer application to begin. More info at wccsonline.com.
We can't wait to see students again on Monday and value the time to work on professional development so we can show up at our best for all of our Eagels!
Every year, students look forward to the day to get outside and move while raising money for their fun events during the school year.
Learn more in our upcoming WCCS Connection publication!
We still have space for our Eagle Advocate gathering on October 1, 2026.

Enjoy your longer weekend, Eagles!
It’s hard to believe we’re already more than halfway through September! Northern Heights recently shared photos of a couple of the lunches served this week, and we’re happy to showcase the great work happening behind the scenes.
A BIG thank-you to all of our dedicated food service staff for their commitment to providing nutritious meals and keeping our students fueled throughout the day.
We love seeing our new superintendent jump right in with students across the district!
