Celebrating Our Principals!
As we wrap up Principal Appreciation Month, we're celebrating the dedicated leaders who make a difference in our schools every day.

Thank you to those that volunteered for this amazing opportunity.
Hear their reflections and see some of the moments that made this experience special as we recognize the incredible work of our principals on YouTube at youtu.be/yK5kpIdC7Z4 .

#ThursdayThoughts
This AVID Open Access podcast, Fostering Parent/School Partnerships, shares a powerful idea: families aren't simply recipients of information from schools—they are co-educators and essential partners in student success.
The conversation explores:
🏫 Building trust between families and schools
🤝 Creating consistent expectations at home and at school
💬 Staying connected—even as students become more independent
🌱 Helping students develop confidence, resilience, organization, and self-advocacy
❤️ The importance of simply showing up for our kids
And one message especially worth remembering for our high school families: our teenagers may want more independence, but they still need us in their corner.
🎧 Take 30 minutes to listen—or skim the highlights and resources on the page:

A new chapter has begun for Wagener-Salley High School athletics!
On Friday, September 4, the Wagener-Salley War Eagles entered a new chapter for their athletic programs.
After playing their final game at their longtime home field at the former high school on August 28, the War Eagles played their first game in their new stadium, dedicated to former principal J.O. Brown.
This new athletic complex is part of a $15 million project that include the additions of new baseball and softball fields, and an eight- lane track located on Wagener-Salley's campus.
The new 1,200 seat stadium brings equitable spaces to Wagener-Salley athletics and will set a high standard of competition of years to come. The J.O. Brown Stadium dedication marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Wagener-Salley community with all of the War Eagle spirit.
Parents and Families,
Please take a minute to read Mr. Nelom's letter and respond to our Title 1 Feedback Survey. Your feedback is very important.
Mark your calendars!
