IT’S NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK!
Learning takes energy, and a healthy school lunch helps give students the fuel they need to focus, learn and grow. Observed since 1962, National School Lunch Week highlights the important role school meals play in supporting student health, learning and success.
Across Wakulla County Schools, we continue to see just how important that access is. During the 2025–2026 school year, participation increased by 17,784 breakfasts and 58,436 lunches — more than 76,000 additional meals served across the district.
This year, meals are available to every WCS student at no cost, helping ensure students can come to the table, get what they need and return to class ready to learn.
This National School Lunch Week, we celebrate the important connection between good nutrition, student well-being and success in the classroom

Mrs. Cason’s 3rd grade students are combining literature and creativity as they design dioramas based on The Boxcar Children. This hands-on project allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the story while developing artistic and critical thinking skills. Their imagination and effort are truly impressive! 📖✨ #StudentSuccess #HandsOnLearning #ThirdGrade #LiteracyInAction

Internet service has been restored across Wakulla County Schools. Our IT Department continues troubleshooting remaining issues, and some users may experience intermittent internet disruptions while that work is ongoing.
Regular district and school phone lines are still not operational. Families should continue using the temporary phone numbers previously provided or contact their school-based administrator or identified point of contact by email.
Families needing Transportation assistance may call 850-926-5750 or email scott.payne@wcsb.us.
We would like families to know that the disruption was caused by a failure of the district’s main network switch. As our IT team worked to restore service, additional configuration issues delayed the return to full and stable connectivity. District data and systems remained secure throughout the outage.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility as our IT team continues working toward full and reliable restoration of all services. We will share updates as additional progress is made.
