Waynesboro Public Schools staff showed their support by wearing purple in honor of the Month of the Military Child—a time to recognize the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of military-connected students and their families.
We are proud to stand with our military families and celebrate the important role they play in our school community. 💜
Thank you to the Virginia Department of Education for helping bring awareness to this meaningful initiative across the Commonwealth.

Alongside peers from Staunton and Augusta County, students are serving on house committees, presenting their own bills, and experiencing the legislative process firsthand.
A powerful opportunity to build leadership, critical thinking, and civic engagement. 👏
Here, it’s more than a job, it’s an opportunity to make an impact, build relationships, and be part of a community that cares.
We’re hiring passionate individuals across a variety of roles. Whether you’re in the classroom, supporting students, or helping our schools run each day, there’s a place for you here.

It takes a village, and we’re grateful for ours! 🌟
Thank you to Augusta Health for supporting the LU Exergame System—truly a game-changer for our students.
Westwood second graders participated in an 8-week learn-to-swim program at the Waynesboro Family YMCA . While some students built life-saving skills in the pool, others stayed active in the gym using the LU system. 🏊♂️✨
This partnership is about more than swimming—it’s about building confidence, safety, and lifelong healthy habits.
As previously announced, Monday, April 20, 2026, will now be a regular school day, and our Staff Workday will be moved to Tuesday, April 21, 2026. This change is necessary due to the special election being held across the Commonwealth of Virginia, as several of our school locations serve as polling places.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we adjust our schedule to accommodate voters.
Every school day matters—supporting learning, connection, and growth for our students.
We hope you enjoy a safe and restful spring break, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on April 7!

Students brought history to life through an engaging, interdisciplinary experience—researching historical figures, writing speeches, and stepping into character as “living statues.”
From powerful voices of the past to influential changemakers, our students didn’t just learn history… they became it. 👏
Thank you to our students, families, staff, and community partners who made this event so special. From performances to food to cultural displays this was a true celebration!

Last month, Westwood Hills Elementary hosted its first Donuts and Cocoa with Caregivers event during morning meeting, giving families the opportunity to visit their child’s classroom and see their learning environment during the school day.
The event was designed to encourage positive connections between families, students, and teachers.
Thank you to the Waynesboro Fire Department and Waynesboro Police Department, who spent time with students whose caregivers were unable to attend.
Events like this help strengthen the partnerships that support student success.
Acts of care like this help students feel confident and supported, and we are grateful for community members who take the time to invest in our schools.
We’re also excited to welcome Who’s Next Barber Shop to the Waynesboro neighborhood when their new shop opens later this spring!
