Superintendent Hughes dropped by the WISE Center to check and make sure each person is rowing just as hard as the other! Did you know The Walton Intensity School of Excellence (WISE) was the brainchild of Superintendent Hughes? Hughes had a mission to ensure students who might thrive in a less typical educational environment would have a place they could do exactly that - THRIVE!

The students at West DeFuniak Elementary got to experience a very special program by the Atlantic Coast Theatre of The Elves and the Shoemaker by the Brothers Grimm. A gym full of 2nd and 5th graders completely mesmerized by music? EPIC! Thank you to the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation for making this kind of experience possible for our students!

After collaborating with local and state weather experts, the Walton County School District has made the decision to close schools on both Thursday and Friday, January 23rd and 24th due to the after effects of the Winter Storm. The closure includes students and employees as well as SPICE and extra-curricular activities. The amazing snow fall will begin to melt today but the precepitation may refreeze leaving ice on the roads for the next two days. This makes driving unsafe for buses on roads and especially bridges. Weekend weather will get above freezing, and we anticipate reopening on Monday, January 27. We will continue to monitor the weather, as safety is always our number one priority. Stay safe, and continue to stay engaged with your schools and our online platforms for more information. We hope our students enjoy today's record snow fall. It really is an unbelievable sight!

Walton may begin to see precipitation to include ice on Tuesday afternoon which will make it unsafe for school buses to be on roads and bridges. Wednesday may continue to see freezing temperatures which may keep ice on the roadways. We will continue to monitor the weather, as safety is always our number one priority. At this time, we expect to be back at school on Thursday, January 23. Stay safe, and continue to stay engaged with your schools and our online platforms for more information.
