Today, Mrs. Clagg’s students took time to learn about the firefighters who bravely responded to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Students welcomed guest speaker Doug Hatcher, who shared information about the equipment firefighters wear and helped students understand the incredible courage and sacrifice of the first responders. He also shared the number of lives lost in the attacks on the Twin Towers, providing students with an opportunity to reflect on the significance of this important day in our nation’s history. Thank you, Mr. Hatcher and Mrs. Clagg, for helping our Pirates learn, remember, and honor those who served and those whose lives were lost.

Let's paint Pirate country red and black on Friday! Show your school and community pride by wearing your favorite Pirate shirt. Don't have a Pirate shirt? No problem! Just wear something in red and black, the school colors! We are encouraging students and staff to do the same. Spread the word. Spread the Pirate Pride.

Being a leader and representing your class are among the qualifications for joining the WC Elementary Youth Leadership Board. This group of students began the process by giving speeches to their classmates about how they would represent the class on the board. Congratulations to Killian, who will be representing Mrs. Shoenleben’s class!

Our Pirates are growing up! Siler has been in the school district since preschool. This year, he is in 5th grade at WC Intermediate School. It’s a new building for him, and he says, “I like how modern it is. The gym is nice. I like the big Pirate on the wall.” Siler likes the science experiments with Mr. Seifert and his health class, where everything is red.

RJ, Gabby, Lavada, and King are enjoying being some of the first students to attend the new WC Middle School. RJ likes the new lockers and being able to decorate the inside. Gabby is happy to have better air conditioning and better lockers. Lavada likes the Pirate ship on the hallway floor and the compass on the library ceiling. King feels the school is safer with more cameras. All agree that the new school is easy to navigate. Find out more in the News Section of our website at https://www.westcarrolltonschools.com/

What happens when a student tells his teacher that he loves the police and wants his own badge? She makes one for him! Just another example of West Carrollton educators going above and beyond for their students!!

Being involved is one of the best ways to find out what's happening in the school district. These five High School students are involved as Board of Education student representatives. They attend board meetings to understand how the school board operates and the decisions made. The student reps do not have a vote on agenda items, but they do have an opportunity to ask questions and report what's happening at the High School at each meeting. They are chosen through an application and interview process. This year, there were so many good candidates that the group grew from three to five!

West Carrollton teachers are always making classroom time fun with creative lesson plans. Ms. G. at the ECC had a football draft for her kindergarten class. Students picked their team (at random), then had a chance to trade with another student or pick another team that hadn’t been drawn. They each got a coloring sheet that matched the team they chose. They will research their team's logo and then color their sheet with the team colors. Every week, students will follow game scores and make predictions about their team. The lesson combines social, research, art, and math skills. We will be following the fun throughout the football season. Of course, our favorite team is the WC Pirates!

Mrs. Earl's Video Production II and Broadcast News students got hands-on experience with the MVCC TV truck yesterday! Some of our students will put those skills into action this Friday as part of the MVCC TV Crew, helping produce our home football game.

A huge THANK YOU to MVCC for their continued collaboration with our Career Tech students! These real-world experiences allow students to build skills, gain confidence, and experience what it’s like to work in the industry.

There's a song about the wheels on the bus going round and round, but at WC Elementary, the wheels are meant to be eaten! Students used their senses to describe the ingredients needed to build the bus, including graham crackers and frosting. Students also used counting skills to determine how many of each item they would need. What a sweet lesson!

The first days of school can be stressful for students, parents/guardians, and our staff. We are here to help you, and we appreciate your kindness and patience during this time.

We are always overwhelmed with phone calls during the first days of school. If we don’t answer your call, we are speaking with another caller. Please leave a message with your name, phone number, and the reason for your call. We will call you back as soon as possible.

Bus stop pick-up and drop-off times may be delayed during the first days of school. Many of our students are riding the bus for the first time and are adjusting to a new routine. Our drivers want to make sure every child gets to and from school safely.

If you are transporting your child to/from school, allow yourself extra time. Traffic is usually congested around the schools during the first days as everyone adjusts to the traffic pattern and students adjust to the routine. Stay in the pick-up/drop-off lane, drive slowly, and watch for students.

We want every student to have a safe and positive experience, and we thank you for your help.

The Pirates are coming back to school, and we need your help! Please be patient when driving around schools. Traffic is usually congested during the first days as everyone adjusts to student drop-off and pick-up traffic patterns at the schools. Remember that the speed limit is 20 MPH in school zones. Watch for children when driving in your neighborhood as they walk to and from bus stops and schools. Always stop when red lights are flashing on a school bus. Thank you for helping the Pirates have a safe start to the school year!
