WCSD Prevention Recovery Education Program Coordinators attended Coleman Elementary’s Open House on September 2, connecting with families and sharing valuable information, resources, and support.

They were joined by our district partners, Community Empowerment Council, Inc. and Exodus.Life, as we continue working together to strengthen our schools, support our families, and connect our community with helpful resources.

We appreciate everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and learned more about the support available throughout Watson Chapel School District.

Edgewood Elementary students are loving strawberry/blueberry parfaits for breakfast and Coleman students have new smoothies on their menus. Next smoothie at Coleman will be a strawberry banana one.

We have a new flavor parfait for the Junior High and High School next week.

Watson Chapel School District has made a committment to cooking from scratch. Next week the High School and Junior High have BBQ pulled pork sandwiches on the menu.

So today we seasoned the pork and then will slow cook the pork before we shred it.

What is your favorite way to prepare BBQ pulled pork at home?

Watson Chapel Junior High Cafeteria Team is rocking it with their fruit cooler this year. They still have the fruit cups the students love but also a large selection of fresh fruit including apples, cantaloupe, oranges, watermelon, grapes, strawberries and pineapple.

Love their committment to offering fresh items to the students.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: EARLY DISMISSAL FOR WCHS & WCJHS

Watson Chapel School District Families and Community,

Approximately 11:40 a.m., the district administration of Watson Chapel School District (WCSD) was made aware of an unexpected, hazardous power utility pole that needs immediate attention.

Due to an emergency utility power pole being replaced and creating this hazardous condition, Watson Chapel High School (WCHS) and Watson Chapel Junior High School (WCJHS) will dismiss early today at 1:30 p.m. This decision is being made out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Both schools will follow the normal dismissal operations.

All elementary schools are not affected and will continue to operate on their normal schedules.

Additionally, tonight’s football game against Jacksonville High School will continue as scheduled.

We appreciate the patience, understanding, and cooperation of our families as we respond to this unexpected situation. The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority.
