After collaborating with local and state weather experts, the Walton County School District has made the decision to close schools on both Tuesday and Wednesday, January 21 and 22 due to a Winter Storm. The closure includes students and employees as well as SPICE and extra curricular activities. Walton may begin to see precipitation to include ice on Tuesday afternoon which will make it unsafe for school buses to be on roads and bridges. Wednesday may continue to see freezing temperatures which may keep ice on the roadways. We will continue to monitor the weather, as safety is always our number one priority. At this time, we expect to be back at school on Thursday, January 23. Stay safe, and continue to stay engaged with your schools and our online platforms for more information.
Based on information from the National Weather Service and with our local weather partners, all Walton County schools will remain closed on Friday, September 27th. Tropical storm force winds and rain are anticipated from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. from Hurricane Helene. Closures are for all students, staff, and SPICE. Extracurricular decisions will be made by individual schools, including Friday football games, so please look to your schools for more information. All schools are expected to open Monday, September 30th. Stay safe, and continue to check our district and schools’ websites and social media platforms for more information.
Las escuelas estarán cerradas mañana viernes 27 de septiembre debido al huracán Helene.

Last night, our coaching staffs along with Principal Mr. Jones, Assistant Principal Mr. Morgan, as well as special guest Superintendent A. Russell Hughes were honored to present the 2024 Cats Against Cancer recipients with their proceed checks from the two-day December basketball classic. Thanks to generous donations and support from our community, we were able to give each recipient $3,000. This wouldn’t be possible without all of the wonderful people and sponsors in our community. Thank you all for your support again, and we look forward to helping more people next year as we continue the fight against cancer. 🎗️

Mrs. Brittany Schaefer, Paxton secondary art teacher, values abstract thinking. At the start of the school year her students were allowed to showcase their diverse thought processes through the spaghetti challenge.
Mrs. Schaefer gave students two pieces of uncooked spaghetti and instructed them to "construct a dog or a cat, either individually or with tablemates." She gave no other instructions, then sat back and watched how students tackled the task.
This activity helped Mrs. Schaefer see which students preferred to work alone and which preferred the help of others. It also showed who struggled with vague directions, who asked for clarification, and who used out-of-the-box thinking skills. She was able to see which students just wrote the word DOG or CAT, who just created a face, and who constructed the whole animal's body.
The class then walked around to see how everyone approached the task differently. Mrs. Schaefer helped students see that everyone has a different background, which causes them to approach tasks uniquely. She emphasized that when students support each other's diverse thinking, they are more comfortable to try new things and take risks.
Mrs. Schaefer has begun the year building a culture that supports the diverse artists in her classroom. She is helping her students understand that there are multiple ways to approach tasks, and that one-size-fits-all answers rarely exist.
