Our Pre-K friends in Ms. Ellie and Ms. Emily’s class had so much fun creating their very own “All About Me” crafts using hands-on materials! 🎨👐
From choosing colors to adding special details, each creation was as unique as the child who made it.
We loved celebrating what makes each of our little learners so special!
Today, our Mustangs learned about Patriot Day and the significance of September 11th. 🇺🇸
Throughout the school, students participated in age-appropriate lessons, activities, discussions, and projects that helped them understand the importance of remembering those who were affected by September 11th, and the ways we can honor their memory through kindness, compassion, and by caring for others.
Some of these included art activities, reading stories focused on first responders and their impact on communities in our country, and projects focused on ways that students can give back to others in their lives.
We are so proud of our students for approaching today with thoughtfulness, respect, and kindness.
We would like to give a big THANK YOU to Lake Ellen Baptist Church who collected items for our teachers and students. Your contribution and support mean the world to our Mustangs!
PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION FOR SCHOOL-SPONSORED EVENTS
Wakulla County Schools is reminding families that students may request approval to use private transportation for athletic events, extracurricular activities, field trips and other school-sponsored events.
The required Parental Consent and Release of Liability for Private Transportation form must be completed, submitted to school administration at least 24 hours before the event, and approved by the school principal.
Requests involving a student driving themselves or riding with another adult require notarization.

This Friday’s 5th grade science lab was all about the engineering process. Students designed and built a contraption to protect an egg from an 8 ft drop! Some made it and some did not, but they had a great time and can’t wait to redesign!

Happy Science Stampede Friday! Medart Mustang students from every grade, pre-k to 5th, learned the science behind Diet Coke and Mentos! It was a “blast”!
We would like to give a BIG shoutout to Rivertown Community Church for their generous donation of gift cards for our faculty and staff. Thank you for continuously supporting our Mustangs!
5th grade is jumping right in to science this school year! Thursday, they saved Fred the worm and Friday, they tested how many drops of water fit on a penny.
Week one was a blast! From big smiles to new friends, we’ve loved every minute. And the best part? We get to do it all again TOMORROW!
Friday morning, our Mustangs were welcomed to school by some special visitors! Thank you to the seniors of the Wakulla High School football team and Coach Allen for making our students feel special. Good luck this season and go War Eagles!

Two ways to stay connected for the 2026–2027 school year!
Wakulla County Schools offers families two important tools to stay connected with their child’s teacher, school, and district.
Focus Parent Portal is available online and through the Focus mobile app. It gives families access to your child's information, including schedules, grades, attendance, report cards, teacher communication, and important forms such as Transportation Registration and the Annual Enrollment Update. Families should also review their Focus communication settings and preferences to verify their email address and manage available notifications and alerts. A Focus Parent Portal account is required.
The Wakulla County Schools app mirrors our district and school websites, providing convenient mobile access to school news, social media updates, staff information, event calendars, important documents, emergency push notifications, and more. Families and community members can follow multiple schools in one place. Tired of relying on social media algorithms to see important school updates? The Wakulla County Schools app puts the information you need right at your fingertips.
