Wayne Preparatory Academy Parents, Scholars, and Stakeholders, 

What an exciting April we had!  From social events that included Pig in the Park, Mt. Olive Pickle Festival, and Spirit Week, to the successful Lottery and Job Fair held on our campus, Wayne Preparatory Academy stayed busy.  We enjoyed having our ambassadors, scholars, parents, and future scholars & parents visit with us on and off campus.  Our projected enrollment for next year is 690 scholars ~ a full K-6th grade school.  You may be wondering, “How are we going to house all of those scholars?”  I am looking forward to having that question answered at our Town Hall Meeting on Thursday May 12 at 7:00p.  Our venue is the First Assembly of God auditorium (where we hosted our Christmas program).  I look forward to seeing everyone there.

​May ushers in end of year testing and State EOGs for our 3rd-5th grade scholars.  Stay tuned to ClassDojo messages from grade level teachers and leads as we will be encouraging best practices in preparation for testing: Good night sleep, Breakfast, Water, Requesting bathroom breaks, etc…  I am looking forward to an exciting end of the school year consisting of our annual Fun/Field Day event and Kindergarten graduation.  If you have any questions about testing or activities please don’t hesitate to contact your grade level lead – and keep an eye on calendar updates via the Parents Tab. 


terrific Kid 3rd 9 Week Recognitions!

Terrific Kids is a student-recognition program that promotes character development, self-esteem and perseverance.  “Terrific” is an acronym for Thoughtful, EnthusiasticRespectfulResponsibleInclusiveFriendly,Inquisitive, and Capable.” (kiwaniskids.org)

The Terrific Kids program was introduced to Wayne Preparatory Academy and facilitated by Mrs. Kristi Aycock.  Each 9 weeks teachers will recognize 1 scholar from each of their classrooms that has displayed leadership skills that result in a TERRIFIC Kid.  The teachers write a description as to how the scholar they chose displayed TERRIFICbehavior.  On the designated recognition day, Administration and Kiwanis representative deliver awards to classrooms and read the descriptions written by teachers.

As you can imagine this was an exciting and emotional event ~ the power of positive reinforcement and precise praise written by teachers then read to scholars was precious!  Congratulations to all of our TERRIFIC scholars.
