A Message to Our Walton County School District Families
As we prepare to welcome students back to school, we want our families to know that we understand, we care, and we are here for you.
We all have a part to play in helping our community recover. Ours is to open our doors, welcome our children back, and provide the comfort, care, and normalcy they deserve.
Parents, you know your situation best. The choice to send your child to school is ultimately yours. Please know that we understand and respect your decision. Send a note explaining the circumstances when your child returns, and the absence will be excused.
We also recognize that some of our students have gone an extended period without electricity, air conditioning, or even a warm meal. We want you to know that our schools have power, internet access, and our cafeterias are ready to serve real, freshly prepared meals.
Every family is facing its own challenges, and there is no single path to recovery. Whether your child is ready to return or your family needs a little more time, please know that our hearts are with you.
Our schools are ready, our doors are open, and our people are here to welcome your children with open arms.
We are more than a school district. We are a community, and we will move forward together.
