WCS Closed Wednesday, January 28th, 2026

Описание: 🚨IMPORTANT CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT‼️

Good afternoon everyone,

Wilson County Schools will be CLOSED on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026.

This will be a full districtwide closure that includes Kid’s Club and the ATC.

While we enjoy some much needed above freezing temps today, several roads continue to be hazardous for school day travel throughout the county, with another night of refreezing on the way.

Temps will improve even more tomorrow afternoon for more impactful melting. With that being the case, district leadership has preferred to take a day-by-day approach beyond tomorrow to see how the rest of the week plays out for everyone. Rest assured, we will not have a full return to our schools until roads are considered satisfactory for bus and vehicle travel. Thorough roadway evaluations will be monitored closely throughout the rest of the week.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as some communities/neighborhoods throughout Wilson County were impacted more severe than others following last weekend’s winter storm.

I also want to send a sincere thank you to the wonderful teachers, staff and students at Elzie D. Patton Elementary for a song you will here in the video included, especially EPE Music Teacher, Dr. Rob Bowen. I was able to see this first-hand back in December, and it absolutely meant the world to me. It could be quite the “Snow Day” theme song moving forward! Those sweet voices you hear will absolutely brighten your day.

Another update will come tomorrow!

Thank you very much,
Bart Barker
