Principal's Message
Dear Wakefield Middle School Families,
Welcome back from the long winter break! I hope all of our families enjoyed some time to rest and recharge.
Ms. LaDawn Carter, our long time Front Desk Receptionist has decided to retire. Today is her last day as a member of the Wakefield Staff. Although, she will always be a part of our Wakefield Family! We are thankful for her and her many years of dedicated service to the staff and families!
We are currently, actively seeking her replacement. In the interim, the rest of the front office staff will be working together to cover her roles. We so appreciate your patience during this time. If the phone is not answered immediately, please leave a voicemail and we will respond as quickly as possible. Additionally, please be aware that the front desk and phone will have personnel available from 7:30 am - 3:30 pm on school days only.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Alison Cleveland
Principal

Meal Benefits Applications
Yes, meals will still be free for all students through June 2022 but we still need you to complete a meal benefits application so our school can be eligible for this extra education funding next school year. Also, this ensures your student is covered for the first few weeks of school next year. Information about applying for Meal Benefits can be found at www.wcpss.net/meals. Help our school continue to receive this funding by completing an application online at MySchoolApps.com. Paper applications can be requested by calling 919-588-3535.
