Screven Elementary School

Wayne County Schools Shine! We’re proud to celebrate James E. Bacon Elementary, Martha Rawls Smith Elementary, and Odum Elementary for being named to the Proficient List by the Georgia Department of Education through the John Hancock Award! This recognition highlights our schools’ excellence in teaching cursive writing – a skill that strengthens student confidence, supports cognitive growth, and connects learners to history. Schools on the Proficient List have shown that 90% of their students can confidently write their names in cursive, preparing them for academic success and lifelong learning. Congratulations to our students, teachers, and staff for this outstanding accomplishment! Your hard work is keeping the art of cursive alive in Wayne County and building future-ready learners. #WayneCountyProud #JohnHancockAward #CursiveMatters #WCSuccess

January 20, 2025 Due to the weather forecast, we have decided to cancel school for both Tuesday and Wednesday. Along with this, all after-school activities scheduled for these days will also be canceled. WCHS Basketball Homecoming, originally scheduled for Tuesday night, has been postponed. The Football Banquet, scheduled for Thursday night, has been postponed as well. When both events are rescheduled, we will share that information. As of now, our plan is to resume normal school day schedules on Thursday. However, we will continue to closely monitor the weather conditions and keep you updated with any changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 de enero de 2025 Debido al pronóstico del tiempo, hemos decidido cancelar las clases tanto el martes como el miércoles. Junto a esto, también quedarán canceladas todas las actividades extraescolares programadas para estos días. El regreso a casa de baloncesto de la WCHS, originalmente programado para el martes por la noche, se pospuso. El Banquete de Fútbol, previsto para el jueves por la noche, también ha sido pospuesto.

January 17, 2025, 2:10 PM: Wayne County School System officials have been closely monitoring the weather situation for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and acknowledge the potential for some severe winter weather in our area. However, at this time, it is still too early to make a decision about school closure. We will continue to watch the weather forecasts over the next few days, and as we get a clearer picture of what may happen, we will communicate that to you via email, our text messaging system, website and social media pages, and local and area media. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday due to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. We wish you a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Due to the unpredictable nature of Hurricane Milton, we feel that it is in the best interest of all students and staff members to cancel school on Thursday, October 10. After consulting with Wayne Emergency Management, we anticipate seeing some wind and/or rain that may impact our area. We are expecting to be under a Tropical Storm Watch for the remainder of today and some of Thursday. Wind gusts may be as great as 35 mph, which is at the threshold for having buses traveling safely on our roads. In addition, with the ground already saturated in many places from Hurricane Helene there is a possibility that high winds could bring down more trees causing power outages. Please take the necessary precautions to ensure that you and your family are safe, and we will plan for school to resume on Friday, October 11. Also, we have had a number of questions from parents asking about Monday, October 14, and Tuesday, October 15. Those days are previously scheduled holidays for students. We do not plan to use those days as severe weather make-up days so enjoy that time with your family. Tuesday, October 15 is a workday for all WCSS employees.
