Dear Wallace Middle School Families,
It’s time again to begin sign-ups for our annual “Angel Tree.” Each year, community members, churches and staff, sponsor students who need adopted for Christmas.
If you feel that you need help with Christmas for your child, and you have not applied through any other agency/church, please contact Ms. Buffalow, the school guidance counselor at 276-642-5405. She will add your child’s name to the list and make sure that a form is sent home to complete and return to her.
We ask that all requests be made by November 3rd to allow time for forms to be sent home, returned and given to our sponsors. We are able to sponsor a total of 35 families this year.
*If you feel that you and your family are in a position to adopt an angel, please let Ms. Buffalow know this as well.
Thank you!

On September 8, Governor Youngkin, Secretary Guidera, and Superintendent Coons released the 2022-23 Standards of Learning scores and a plan that outlined Virginia’s ALL-IN plan that defined high-intensity academic tutoring.
This tutoring focuses on supporting those students who failed their SOLs or who demonstrated a risk of failing, and establishes options for tutors, schedules, ratios, and resources to ensure that tutoring can be successful in every school across the Commonwealth.
The hallmark of ALL-IN tutoring is learning acceleration. It is essential that tutoring match grade-level content and support students in connecting lost learning to what they are learning in the classroom every day.
The scores of Washington County School's students exceed the state average, and our teachers have been working diligently to make sure students have strong learning experiences and support to recover where needed. One strategy is to ensure that students receive intensive and accelerated support to keep pace with their pre-pandemic peers.
Washington County Schools has implemented this high-intensity academic tutoring and is working to use innovative ways to incorporate it both into our school day and beyond.
This was the inaugural Washington County Day of Service event. On Saturday, October 14, 2023, many people throughout Washington Co. volunteered to complete various service projects for different organizations. Students from Wallace Middle volunteered their time to complete landscaping projects at Valley Institute Elementary and High Point Elementary Schools. Wallace Middle School had twenty-five students volunteer for the Day of Service.
