The JWP Book Fair begins next week!

4 months ago, JWP -principal

Our JWP teachers and staff were treated to a delicious Biscuits for the Best breakfast, generously sponsored by SunStop Stores! It was a wonderful way to start the day and celebrate the incredible educators who pour so much into our students every single day.

Members of the Central Office team, and our friends from SunStop stopped by to help serve up appreciation—and Sunny the SunStop mascot was the highlight of the morning! The kids were thrilled to see Sunny, filling the halls with waves, hugs, and lots of excited smiles ☀️

We are so grateful for community partners like SunStop and for the amazing team at JWP who make a difference in the lives of our Bearcats each and every day.

Decatur County Schools is committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for all students and families. To support this effort, OPENGATE Security Systems are now in use at the primary and elementary levels.

At Jones Wheat Primary (JWP) and West Bainbridge Primary (WBP), OPENGATE is located in the front office safety vestibules for parent and visitor entry. At Hutto Elementary, OPENGATE systems are placed at areas of entry used by both students and adults, including the lobby, gym, and cafeteria.

OPENGATE allows individuals to walk through without stopping or removing belongings, helping maintain efficient entry while enhancing school safety.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep the Bearcat Family safe every day.
