Walton County Schools Participate in City Government Week
City Government Week - October 17 - 21\
Last week was City Government week. Walton Middle School Social Studies Teachers, Paul Baur and Tracie Jordan welcomed city officials to speak to their
classes regarding the work done by city leaders and the importance of being knowledgeable of local government occurrences. Mayor Robert Campbell and City Manager
Robert Thompson were among those presenting.
Students in 5th grade at WDE are using “Dynamic Classroom” to get real time feedback on their math work. Using the Big Ideas online platform, students are able to input their answers as they work simultaneously in their textbook. Once an answer is submitted, students are able to get immediate feedback in real time so that they are able to identify their mistakes and make improvements! The students are loving watching their achievement percentage go up!
After Tuesday night’s Workshop, Board Meeting, and Executive Session, Superintendent Hughes stopped to thank Mr. Howard Dawson, WHS graduate and former student of Superintendent Hughes for doing great work to keep SWHS hallways spotless, smelling good, and sanitized for students. Mr. Jason Catalano and Mrs. Jeri Michie took time to take a selfie as well as thank Mr. Dawson on behalf of the entire Board. EPIC5G is what we live for and appreciate every employee for making it happen! Get On-Go On!!!!!
Planning, preparing, and positivity never stops at Bay School. Students are gone but Mrs. Jones and teachers are meeting after school creating an EPIC environment for the Fall Festival. Hear this, while the intent is to have fun, this team is effectively and educationally creating games that solidify, promote and give strategic Motor Skills practices that will enhance the lies of these young scholars; WOW!!!!! Being #3 started in rooms like this all over the WCSD with Power Thinking for the growth of children. A parent who knows the work our teachers do purchased lunches for all teachers at Bay for Thanksgiving! We call it EPIC5G!!!!! Get On-Go On!!!!! #GRACE
This week, the students participating in Mrs. Robinson's Research/Forensics course were CPR-trained.

It’s a Teacher Workday and students are out but EPIC NEVER stops or takes a break. So, our students, teachers, and district staff are getting things ready for the Walton County Fair. WMS FFA, as well as all WCSD Art Programs are showcasing their work. Paxton is getting ready for their renown Hog Show. Mr. and Mrs. Profitt stay in the mix facilitating the operation as students put in the work. Superintendent Hughes stopped in to check on everything and everyone. It’s hard maintaining what is to be EPIC but it’s what we do! EPIC is the way and this is how the way is made EPIC! Get On-Go On!!!!!
At the beginning of football season, Coach Dennie Smith asked his players to give him three things: great attitudes, toughness, and effort. The players quickly bought into the process and gave the coaching staff all three at every practice and during every game.
The team has also been exceptional in the way they have treated each other. Coach Smith commended them for being great teammates. He said, “They did not point fingers, but instead took ownership of their responsibilities and worked hard to improve.”
The Tribe was wearing Neon today at WMS celebrating Spirit Week coming off a Championship win for Football last night! 1 Tribe on 1 Mission was on full display by students, teachers, and staff! Lunch was being served to Sixth Grade; they were happy to take a break from the Nine Weeks Exam closing out the 1st Nine Weeks of the 22-23 SY! Go Warriors!
