Warrior Weekly

The mission of Waccamaw Middle School is to ensure that each Warrior is provided a strong, standards based academic foundation, diverse extra-curricular experiences, and opportunities to develop ownership and pride in order to create well-rounded lifelong learners in a safe and supported community.

Last, but certainly not least, in our faculty and staff spotlight are our fabulous administrators, Principal Haynes and Assistant Principal Meyer, our amazing Instructional Coach Mrs. Harrelson, and the ever supportive School Psychologist, Mrs. Johnson, and our ISS angel, Mrs. Crosby. This dynamic group of individuals keeps our entire Warrior family running smoothly and provides the best services for everyone's needs.

Join in on the fun and participate in the following dress up days! Tuesday is Neon Day, but remember that it is also school picture day. These pictures will be used in the yearbook, so if you want to bring another shirt, that is not green, to change into for your picture, please do so.

Warriors: We need your help! We are participating in our annual World’s Finest Chocolate Fundraiser this October – and we need your sales expertise! The proceeds from this fundraiser support our schoolwide activities and student incentive programs. This year we are selling $2 Bars – Each Box includes 30 bars. Each box you sell enters you into a raffle for our Grand Prize Gift Card Raffle AND the winner of our sales competition will be awarded $100. If you sell just one box of WFC Chocolate – you will be invited to our Warriors Celebration on November 15th, where we will have popcorn, treats and prizes! You may turn in your signed permission slips or completed sales envelopes to Mr. Meyer each morning in the Cafeteria. We’ve also hidden 15 Golden Tickets in random boxes – which can be redeemed by the seller for prizes or a ONE POUND bar of chocolate! Students are encouraged to have supervision while selling WFC and no sales may take place on campus during school hours. Any questions – please contact Mr. Meyer.

Attendance is a crucial factor in your child's education. Excessive absences will require make-up seat time, which will begin in November. Below are the guidelines concerning seat time. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to a successful year. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Brandi Henry at bhenry@gcsd.k12.sc.us.

Dental hygienists will visit WMS on October 3rd to do exams, cleanings, x-rays, and sealants if needed. If you are interested, please scan the QR code below or download and complete the attached paperwork and return it to the nurse.

The date for the school visit has not been determined at this time. We will share this information as soon as Nurse McDill receives this from DHEC.
