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.

🌟 Principal & Administrator Appreciation Week 🌟
Our schools don’t run without strong leadership—and we are incredibly grateful for our principals, assistant principals and directors who show up every day for students, staff, and families.
From problem-solving and relationship-building to supporting learning and school culture, their work often happens behind the scenes—but the impact is felt everywhere.

Happy New Year, Panther Family!
I am looking forward to seeing everyone and hearing about their experiences over break.
I am reaching out for your help as we head into the colder months and boot season. Please help ensure your students are prepared for PE by wearing tennis shoes on their PE days or packing them in their backpack to change into for class. This helps prevent scuffing on the gym floor and allows for proper mobility and safety during activities.
I have attached the specials calendar for your reference.
Also, please consider volunteering for Field Day on May 15. I will be sending home volunteer forms in the near future, but wanted to give you a heads-up in case you need to request time off from work.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at jcharris@waynesboro.k12.va.us
