📚 Investing in Our Educators
As part of Wakulla County Schools’ 5-Year Strategic Plan, Staff Development is a key priority. Recently, teachers across the district participated in Backward Planning workshops, working alongside school administrators to design lessons with the end goal in mind.

March is National Women’s History Month — a time to honor the women who shaped history and recognize the women who serve our schools each day.
Across Wakulla County Schools, women lead classrooms, guide policy, coach teams, drive buses, prepare meals, manage operations, mentor students, and care for our school communities every single day.
Their dedication supports our students and leaves a lasting impact that reaches far beyond the classroom.
We are proud to be a district rooted in community and committed to empowering women.

What does inclusion look like?
It’s a high five in the hallway.
A compliment to a classmate.
Saying hello to someone new.
For individuals with intellectual disabilities, inclusion isn’t just important — it’s essential for belonging and acceptance.
On Wednesday, March 4, give a high five, offer a compliment, or simply say hi to someone new. Let’s make inclusion visible across Wakulla County Schools.
Students can sign the Pledge for Inclusion at their school and commit to choosing kindness, respect, and acceptance.

Our Community-Based Instruction (CBI) students recently participated in a Civil Rights Walk in downtown Tallahassee, traveling from the C.K. Steele Bus Station to Cascades Park and stopping at several historical markers along the way.
During the experience, students explored important moments in Civil Rights history while also practicing essential life skills—navigating city streets, following pedestrian safety guidelines, and learning how to move confidently through an urban environment.
Experiences like this combine real-world application with meaningful historical learning, helping students build independence and deeper understanding beyond the classroom.
