📣✨ Calling all 3rd–5th grade girls! ✨📣 Do you have school spirit, love to cheer, and want to be part of an amazing team? We’d LOVE to see you at the Walland Cheer Tryouts on August 12th & 13th! 🎀❤️ Time of tryouts: afterschool - 4:30! Don’t forget that a current sports physical is required to participate, so be sure to turn it in to Ms. McBrayer before or on the first day of tryouts. We are looking forward to it!

We had a GREAT day with the Tribe today! Remember on Monday-- kindergarten continues with staggered start (last names L-Z). 1st-5th grades: ALL STUDENTS attend.

Kinder parents may continue to walk students in through Wednesday. After that all students should enter the building independently in the mornings. This is to promote independence and ensure the safety of all students and staff.

ATTENTION PARENTS OF KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS WHO WILL BE CAR RIDERS IN THE AFTERNOON-- On your first staggered day (either Wednesday for A-K, or Thursday for L-Z) Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Pitt will have a meeting at 1:30pm. Please plan to meet us at the picnic tables in front of the school.

If you drop your student off in the morning and/ or they are a car rider in the afternoon, please review this information. Please remember it is against the law to use your cellphone in the school car line. Stay alert and follow directions to ensure the safety of our students, families, and staff.

We have some new faces and some not-so-new faces in new roles on the mountain this year!

First we would like to wish Mrs. Tipton all the best as she begins her new role as Supervisor of Behavior and Intervention at Central Office!

Mrs. Amber Williams will take over as Principal of Walland Elementary this year. Mrs. Williams served as our Assistant Principal last year, and many families know her from her time as Principal at Heritage Middle School. We are thrilled to have her as the new chief this school year!

Mrs. Paula King has moved from her Instructional Coach position into a systemwide Assistant Principal role, and we are excited she will be back with us 2 days a week this year!

Mrs. Alicia Custer worked with one of our first grade classrooms last year, and now joins the front office team as our new bookkeeper.

Officer Jeremy Bennett takes over as our new SRO this year, having previously been at Eagleton Elementary.

Ms. Zoe Stiles is also returning to Walland, now as our permanent music teacher! We are so excited and know the kids will be excited too!

Make sure and welcome our new and returning staff members when you see them! This is going to be another AMAZING year for the Tribe!
