    • Our yearbooks are just about ready for distribution.  If you have not purchased a yearbook yet, you may do so through the front office for $35.00.  We have a limited supply and when they are gone, we will not order any additional.

    • The WAAT PTSO will meet Tuesday evening at 6:00.  This is a date change due to a conflict with the original date.

    • WAAT continues to hold Learning Lab sessions each morning at 8:15 AM.  This is for students that have had excessive absences in a course and are in danger of not receiving credit due to those absences.

    • We want to remind 11th-grade families that North Carolina requires certain vaccines for students entering the 12th grade. Students must receive these vaccines to continue enrollment in public schools. The vaccines do not include the COVID-19 vaccine. Current juniors can receive these vaccines at any time between now and the beginning of next school year. Your student should have received a letter with more details. Vaccination appointments are available at our Wilson Area School Health Centers (WASH) Centers. While the centers are located at Forest Hills Middle, Beddingfield High, Fike High and Hunt High, any Wilson County Schools student can be seen at the clinics. Call 252-360-0769 for an appointment and details on how to become a WASH patient. WASH will also be planning immunization clinics at the schools that do not have a WASH Center. WASH provides accessible and affordable physical and preventive health services to students and staff; and serves both the insured and uninsured.

    • And finally, a reminder of the WCS Parent Survey. If you have not completed one, please take a few minutes to do so.  You will find the link to the online survey, which is titled WCS 2022-2023 Parent Survey, on our district website under News,  on our district social media sites, or by clicking HERE. Thank you in advance for sharing your feedback with us.

    Good evening!

    This is Mr. Lyndon, principal of WAAT. I am calling to share some important dates and information. 

    • This week your student will bring home a handout with information on child abuse, neglect, and age-appropriate information on sexual abuse. Sharing this information with our students is a requirement of General Statute 115C-47, and State BOE Policy SHLT-003 for all students in 6th-12th grades. Your child’s teacher will explain the purpose of this handout to their students. Additionally, our school staff are available to answer questions and support your child.  Please contact our school should you have questions or need additional information.

    • Monday, September 26th at 6:00 is our next PTSO Meeting.  We will meet in the BHS Media Center.  We hope you can come out to join us as we discuss opportunities to support the mission and vision of WAAT.

    Good evening!

    This is Mr. Lyndon, principal of WAAT. I am calling to share some important dates and information. 

    • This is a gentle reminder that it is important to have our students bring their device to school, fully charged, each day.  We appreciate your support in this.

    • Over the next several days, our bus routes may be off a little as the drivers will now be running the routes for the traditional schools prior to running our routes.  It could result in buses running a few minutes later than normal until the schedules are refined.  We appreciate your cooperation with this. 

    • The transportation Department has informed us that Bus 185 will be running in place of Bus 221 Monday morning.  If your student rides bus 221, please make them aware of this change.

    • I want to encourage all students to check their Google Classrooms regularly for updates and communications.

    August 3, 2022

    Good evening WAAT families!  We wanted to share some important information with you regarding school-related fees.  You may be eligible for a fee waiver for technology fees, Driver Education fees, and testing fees such as SAT and ACT.  If you have received a letter from our School Nutrition office stating that your student qualifies for free/reduced lunch, you can provide this letter to your student’s school and the fees mentioned above will be waived.  If you have not received a letter but believe your family is eligible for free or reduced meals, you must complete an application. The application is available online now at www.wilsonschoolsnc.net under district news or at www.myschoolapps.com.

    You should complete this application as soon as possible because it takes School Nutrition approximately 10 business days to process applications.  If you complete an application, a letter will be mailed to you regarding your meal status.  This letter can be submitted to the school for fees to be waived.  School Nutrition cannot share free/reduced information with school staff, so you must submit the letter to the school.  If you have any questions regarding this process, you can contact School Nutrition at 252-399-7849 ext. 8534.
