For those dealing with physical and/or emotional challenges this year, we hope the season lands gently on your hearts and souls. We love and care for our community and look forward to serving you to the best of our abilities in 2023 and every year beyond. Please know that you are never alone and that we are here for you. My cell phone number is 440-935-8134. We have some cold weather coming up. Call me or text me if you need anything.
On behalf of Wynnewood Public Schools and its Board of Education with warm and kind regards,

As a result of our playoff football run, we moved the professional development training that we originally scheduled for November 18th. The new date for our training is Wednesday, Jan 4th. This will be a virtual day for our students. All staff will report to work and teachers will participate in necessary professional development. Please email your child's teacher if you have any questions about the assignment for that day. . We understand that the 4th is the Wednesday we would be coming back from Winter Break, so we have asked teachers to keep that in mind and make sure that assignments are reasonable. Our kids need the upcoming break as much as our staff does. Thank you for your support and consideration, and please reach out to your building's principal if you have any questions prior to January 4th.

LET'S GET LOUD ON FRIDAY!!
Dear Wynnewood Schools’ Families and Community Members,
It is with profound sadness and heavy, broken hearts that the Wynnewood Public School District and its Board of Education extend its deep and sincere condolences to the family, friends, teachers, and anyone else with a connection to Hunter Armstrong.
It has been a difficult day for our high school staff and students, but they leaned on each other with love and support as they tried to process this tragedy through a myriad of emotions. We would like to thank Rance and Michelle Rue of Jetty Counseling Services, Pastors Jarrod Kendall, Sheldon Williams, and John Russell, School Counselors Donna Maples and Brandi Ingram, and our Student Resource Officer Josh Moore for being by our side at 8:00am this morning to provide comfort and care to our students and staff.
In the days and weeks ahead, students may have questions and concerns relating to Hunter’s death and will require support at home as well as our continued support at school as they work through their feelings and grief. Although we cannot predict how our students will react as they process their emotions, we can be sensitive and aware of their struggles as they come to terms with their feelings of loss. If you feel your child is having difficulty and may benefit from additional support, please contact either the high school office, the high school guidance counselor’s office or the superintendent’s office so that we can address your needs and the needs of your child. We are also supported by Jetty Counseling Services and can provide you with referrals as needed.
As our school community and our community at large continue to cope with the loss of Hunter, we kindly invite all of you to participate in the healing process if the opportunity arises, and remember that we are here for you always, now and forever.
Sincerely,
Tim Simpson
Superintendent

HOMECOMING CHANGE!!! Wynnewood High School is extremely proud of our Lady Savage Softball Team and the success that they have had this season. Yesterday, they qualified to attend the Regional Tournament, which will be held next Thursday and Friday, September 29 & 30. Due to many unknowns for those two days, we have decided to postpone our Homecoming week and festivities planned for Friday, September 30. We will move Homecoming to our next home game, which will be Thursday, October 13. We are currently working through what that week will look like as far as spirit days and a timeline for events. We will post them as soon as they are confirmed. Thank you for your understanding and support! We hope that you will cheer on the Lady Savages as they begin tournament play on Thursday!!
