In an effort to lower the risk of COVID-19 transmission and to keep our schools open and operating as safely as possible, The SC State Department of Education will again enforce the CDC’s Order requiring the use of face coverings by students and staff on state owned and operated school buses. Effective Monday, August 30th, students and staff members traveling by bus, must wear a face covering throughout the duration of their time on the bus. Also, due to these state mandated mask requirements on buses and CDC recommendations of 67% bus capacity, students will ONLY be picked up and dropped off at their primary bus stop. No temporary changes adding additional pick-up and drop-off locations will be accommodated. Thank you, have a great weekend & GO WILDCATS!

Good Evening Parents. We have had a wonderful start to the 21-22 school year thus far at Wright Middle School. We are getting close to distributing all chromebooks to students. If you have not paid for your child's $25 technology fee, please be sure to do so as soon as possible. Students may pay their technology fee in the Media Center with Mrs. Hawthorne. All technology fees must be paid in order for students to receive their chromebook. If you need to set up a payment plan please let Mrs. Hawthorne know and we will accommodate you. Thank you.

Good evening parents and students and welcome to the 2021-22 school year. We are very excited to see you tomorrow although the Delta variant appears to be knocking on our doors. With that being said, I want to reassure you that we will do everything possible to keep our students and staff as safe as possible as we work through these issues together. As you know we are returning to in-class instruction with no virtual option. If the situation takes a turn for the worse, we will re-evaluate as we are literally monitoring this daily. As a reminder we are doing the following: after speaking with area medical experts we will not allow parents/guests inside the schools until further notice to help curb potential spreading of the virus; maintaining the 3’ social distancing requirement inside the school and on playgrounds; asking teachers to utilize the desk shields; no group work at this time unless the social distancing guidelines are followed; we encourage masks to be worn but cannot mandate them nor the vaccine at this time; when students report to school we ask them to maintain social distancing and not to mass congregate; we will continue spraying each school or hotspots with electrostatic sprayers; we encourage everyone to continue exercising good hygiene; we ask that anyone exposed to someone with the virus to wear a mask until you receive a negative test; there will be no live steaming instruction due to liability issues but our teachers and parents should work together for students to make up and master their work. We will issue Chromebooks to all students as soon as possible in case we need to go to an e-learning platform. Thank you for your support and patience during this trying time and lets all continue working together to make ACSD the best it can be and the best year we have experienced. See you tomorrow and have a great night.

Good evening WMS Students & Parents. We wanted to take a moment to share some information with you as we anticipate our first day tomorrow. The doors will open for drop off to begin at 7:20am. Car riders, please look for Mr. Burdette and Coach Smith out front, and be sure to pull all the way down toward the cafeteria end of the building for drop off. It may be raining, but we have new awnings out front to help keep us covered. All students will be housed in the cafeteria until 7:30am. At that point, they will be released to the hallways outside their homeroom classroom to read until they go into the classroom. After 8:05, students will be considered tardy. Any students bringing fee money will need to notify their homeroom teachers first thing in the morning, and they will be allowed to bring that to the front office. Schedules will be available to all students in their homeroom class. If they are unsure where to go for homeroom, there will be rosters posted on classroom doors and teachers in the halls to assist. We will begin dismissal at 2:50. We are looking forward to an exciting first day. Thank You and Go Wildcats!
