Kindergarten Staggered Entry: Wilkes County Schools implements a staggered entry for kindergarten students. This transition period is aimed at helping ease rising kindergarten students into the school environment. This allows teachers to get to know each student in a small-group setting and understand their unique learning styles and developmental levels. Kindergarten students will come to school only on one of the first three days of school: August 24, 25, or 26. Kindergarten families will be notified of their child’s staggered entry date by August 18. All kindergarten students will begin attending school regularly on August 27.
School Improvement Planning
School Improvement Plans and meeting times are located on the school websites. The School Improvement Plan is developed and monitored by the School Leadership Team. School Leadership Team meetings are held on one Wednesday each month at 3:45. At times, and announced in advance, some School Leadership Team meetings may be held via Zoom.
