This is a cool picture that was shared with me from a recent junior high football game.
September 25 was "See you at the Pole". Here are some pictures of our students and staff praying for our school, classmates, and faculty at Wapakoneta.
Due to the anticipated weather , the Krispy Kreme fundraiser has been postponed to October 18th, Wapak vs Bath game. We hope to see you on October 18th as we Kreme the Cats!
Bus 2 and Bus 8 are currently running approximately 30 minutes behind due to an unexpected delay/construction they encountered this morning.
Thank you for your understanding.
Parents,
Over the next few weeks our school buses will be doing emergency evacuation drills with the students. Please be aware that the buses could be running about 5-10 minutes late at the end of the day.
Parents,
We have been made aware of a rumor of a threat that took place at a local district earlier this week. There have been phone calls and questions about this threat and if there is any credible threat towards our school buildings. I want to assure you that there is not, but we have made our local police aware of the issue, our resource officers are aware, and we are taking all necessary precautions at the school buildings. This includes more police presence on our school campus. I can assure you that we always do everything we can to keep all of our kids safe.
Sincerely,
Aaron Rex
Wapakoneta City Schools speech pathologists had a great opportunity to attend a professional development day that focused on building collaborative teams and practices. They also participated in small group Q&A with other professionals and trainers in the field.
As you may be aware, there are a number of road closings and railroad crossings under construction in our community. For these reasons, our school buses may be running a few minutes behind schedule as they have to adjust their routes.
Thank you for your understanding.

At our recent school board meeting we honored three of our retirees. Kim Metz who started in the district in 1990 working in many of our buildings as a physical education teacher, coach, and guidance counselor. Brigitte Lietz started with the district in 1994 as part of our food service staff at Cridersville and then the middle school, and finally Kara Kohler who started with Wapakoneta in 1995 serving as a 5th grade teacher at Buckland and the middle school.
These ladies touched many students' lives while serving in their roles and they will be missed! Thank you for all that you have done for the students and staff at Wapakoneta City Schools.
As we prepare for the start of school please take a look at the school calendar. August 15 is our Back to School Celebration, and the first day of school is August 20.
