Hello Wildcat Families!

The Heartbeat of the Wildcat
Only 61 districts in the state of Ohio earned a 5-Star Overall Rating on the Report Card this year. This puts Williamsburg Local Schools in the top 10.05% in the state, alongside these other districts in southwest Ohio.
The Williamsburg Local School District is thrilled to announce that, after several years at a 4.5-Star Rating, we have earned a 5-Star Rating on the latest report card from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce!
A 5-star rating is the highest possible mark a district can receive, signifying that Williamsburg significantly exceeds state standards. We're so proud of our students, staff, families, and community members whose hard work and dedication made this possible. Stay tuned as we share more details about this landmark success in the coming weeks. It’s always a great day to be a Wildcat!

Hello Wildcat Families,
In an effort to make staying connected easier and more predictable for every family in our district, we're aligning the release of the Elementary and Middle/High school newsletters.
Beginning today, both the Elementary and Middle/High will publish and send their newsletters together on a synchronized schedule. We are making this change so that you will know exactly when to expect school updates, making it easier to plan and stay informed. If you have children in both schools, you will no longer have to track down updates sent on different days or through competing channels. Both newsletters will be delivered to your inbox every other Tuesday.
While the publishing rhythm is shared, each newsletter will continue to highlight the specific events, academic updates, and celebrations unique to each of our schools. Both newsletters are linked below.
We appreciate your continued partnership!
