 It's Spirit Week! On Wednesday, students celebrated "Twin Day" by dressing alike and wearing the colors of the season.
A message from our Administrators
On behalf of the entire Weyanoke community, we want to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support throughout this academic year. Your partnership has been invaluable in creating a positive and enriching learning environment for our students. As we approach the winter break, we wish you and your families a safe and restful vacation. We look forward to welcoming you back in the new year, refreshed and ready to learn!
Winter Break (Student Holiday)
As a reminder, winter break will be held Monday, December 23, to Friday, January 3. To help make sure you and your children have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. Teachers may assign long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments will be due immediately following the break. We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year.
Classes resume on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. See the complete school year calendar.
