Whitley County Consolidated Schools Board of School Trustees approved an updated school calendar for the 2024-2025 year to reflect five additional professional development (or teacher only) days for our staff.
The additional staff-only days were added through a 1003 waiver approved by the State. Students attend 5 fewer days during the school year but still exceed state guidelines for the number of required instructional minutes for the school year.
The change in calendar provides WCCS staff professional development opportunities to advance district strategic plan pillars of Comprehensive Student Experience, Employee Experience and Organizational Excellence.
Find the calendar on the WCCS App or online at wccsonline.com.
A group of second and third-graders would like to thank Brad Minear of Minear Real Estate, Jenny Middleton of Sun Kiss Tanning and Boutique, and Sonny Windhorst of Supreme Tree, for taking the time to come and speak about what it means to be an entrepreneur before their upcoming presentations! The students loved it and learned some valuable information. Thank you!

On Economy Day, students showcase their understanding of concepts like supply, demand, goods, services, and more.
Our Second grade has been working on Flat Stanley for a while now. They sent out their own Flat Stanleys to family and friends, listened to the book, answered comprehension questions, wrote letters, mapped where he traveled, practiced map skills, and presented all of his activities. They are also currently working on researching a state that they will present when they are finished!

On Wednesday, the Fourth graders from Mary Raber and Coesse got to experience the Indy 500 education program. The students visited 6 different hands-on stations. The stations included math of the 500, history and traditions, careers at the 500, driver gear, all about the flags, and the science of an Indy car. The students learned a lot and had a great time! We even had Brain Bills and Rex Love from the WCCS transportation department, Todd Cook and Jason Spencer from the Sheriff's Department, and several parents help run the stations and make this day a success!

Our second graders have enjoyed learning about earning, saving, borrowing, and spending during the Captain Cash program.
Thank you to our Captain Cash volunteers!
Recently, 4th graders walked out to the woods to hear a presentation from Mr. Rose on how syrup is made. He discussed the process he uses and the students watched as he tapped a sugar maple in the woods at Coesse. They learned the difference between sap and syrup and what the common syrup at the store is made of.
Third grade has been focusing on reading fluency by practicing a read-aloud for kindergarten. The students worked on their tone, speed, and expression to make the read-aloud engaging. The kindergartners are going to practice fluency, as well, and then come read their decodable texts to us!
Last week our second-grade students enjoyed pizza with the principal for reaching their NWEA growth goal. Way to go!
