Meet the newest (and most popular) residents at the Weakley County Ag Complex: the baby piglets!
Our Ag students are getting real, hands-on experience with their early care by administering shots, clipping needle teeth, and docking tails, all under supervision, in our fully functional hog barn in partnership with Tosh Farms. It's a realistic, working environment, giving them skills that go straight into a future in agriculture or animal science.
Thanks to Dresden High School Digital Arts Student & Ambassador, Tess Ogg, for these fantastic shots!

Join us for lunch at Greenfield School today! 🍗🎉
Crunchy baked chicken drumsticks were the star of the show! Also on the menu: hot dogs, broccoli & cheese, fries, a Sidekick slushie, and pears. Our cafeteria staff sure does make school lunch something to smile about!
"Watching the teachers I work alongside every day grow, and in turn watching that growth reach the children in our county, is the very best part of my job." — Terri Stephenson

Week one across Weakley County Schools was an absolute success! 📚
Last week was full of back to school pictures, finding new routines, and settling in for a great year. We are so glad to be back! Swipe through for a few sweet moments. ❤️💙

Our drivers do more than get students from Point A to Point B, they’re often the first WCS smile students see in the morning and the last one they see in the afternoon. 💛

As our students fill the halls, we want to thank the community partners who have donated supplies, supported our teachers, and continued to show up for our schools in countless ways.
Our schools are stronger because of the communities that surround them, and we’re grateful to live, learn, and grow in a county that supports our school system so well. 💛

New faces, fresh classrooms, and so much potential ahead! 🍎

As we prepare to launch Rooms, a widespread system issue outside of Weakley County Schools' control is preventing student and class information from connecting correctly with several school programs, including Rooms. Because of that issue, the launch of Rooms, a new communication feature within the Weakley County Schools app, will be delayed.
What does that mean for families? For now, there's nothing you need to do! Your child's teacher will let you know which communication method they will use to stay connected with you as we begin the school year. Once it's time to start using the Rooms feature within the app, we'll let families know.
If you've already downloaded the Weakley County Schools app, keep it! And if you haven't downloaded it yet, you still can. The app will continue to provide district news and updates.
We appreciate your patience as we work through this delay and look forward to a fantastic year of learning, connection, and growth with our students and families! ❤️

A different path. The same destination. 🎓
Weakley County Schools is excited to introduce BridgeWay Program, a flexible learning option designed to give eligible students another path toward earning a traditional WCS diploma, at no cost to families.
BridgeWay offers morning and afternoon sessions, allowing students to complete coursework at their own pace with support from a certified teacher, educational assistant, and other Weakley County Schools resources. Students also receive career and future planning support, breakfast and lunch each school day, and the opportunity to participate in graduation or finish early when requirements are met.
BridgeWay may be an option for students who are entering grades 10–12, are at least 16 years old unless otherwise approved, and are not currently enrolled in a Weakley County School.
Think BridgeWay could be the right fit for your student? We’d love to hear from you!
