Internet service has been restored across Wakulla County Schools. Our IT Department continues troubleshooting remaining issues, and some users may experience intermittent internet disruptions while that work is ongoing.
Regular district and school phone lines are still not operational. Families should continue using the temporary phone numbers previously provided or contact their school-based administrator or identified point of contact by email.
Families needing Transportation assistance may call 850-926-5750 or email scott.payne@wcsb.us.
We would like families to know that the disruption was caused by a failure of the district’s main network switch. As our IT team worked to restore service, additional configuration issues delayed the return to full and stable connectivity. District data and systems remained secure throughout the outage.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility as our IT team continues working toward full and reliable restoration of all services. We will share updates as additional progress is made.

Two ways to stay connected for the 2026–2027 school year!
Wakulla County Schools offers families two important tools to stay connected with their child’s teacher, school, and district.
Focus Parent Portal is available online and through the Focus mobile app. It gives families access to your child's information, including schedules, grades, attendance, report cards, teacher communication, and important forms such as Transportation Registration and the Annual Enrollment Update. Families should also review their Focus communication settings and preferences to verify their email address and manage available notifications and alerts. A Focus Parent Portal account is required.
The Wakulla County Schools app mirrors our district and school websites, providing convenient mobile access to school news, social media updates, staff information, event calendars, important documents, emergency push notifications, and more. Families and community members can follow multiple schools in one place. Tired of relying on social media algorithms to see important school updates? The Wakulla County Schools app puts the information you need right at your fingertips.

🌎 Let’s Celebrate Inclusion on Wednesday, March 4!
What does inclusion look like?
It’s a high five in the hallway.
A compliment to a classmate.
Saying hello to someone new.
For individuals with intellectual disabilities, inclusion isn’t just important — it’s essential for belonging and acceptance.
On Wednesday, March 4, give a high five, offer a compliment, or simply say hi to someone new. Let’s make inclusion visible across Wakulla County Schools.
Students can sign the Pledge for Inclusion at their school and commit to choosing kindness, respect, and acceptance.
