Great things happen when we invest in our educators! 💙

We’re proud to be part of the Rural Tidewater Education Consortium and this exciting $4.1 million federal grant, which will help strengthen teacher recruitment, retention and leadership development across our region.

As Dr. Coleman shared, when teachers are supported, students benefit. This initiative is about building a stronger educator workforce, creating opportunities for professional growth and ensuring our students have the excellent educators they deserve.

Thank you to WHRO for highlighting this important work and the partnerships helping move rural education forward!

Moving Forward Together. Being BOLD in our instruction. Ensuring excellence in every classroom and opportunities for every student.

The nonprofit Rural Tidewater Education Consortium received a $4.1-million federal grant to address teacher vacancies across four school divisions.

The five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education will fund the Tidewater Educator Workforce and Leadership initiative in partnership with four regional higher education institutions.

The program is looking to recruit new teachers while offering leadership pathways for existing educators and administrators.

🍎🌱 IWCS in the Spotlight!

What does Farm to School look like in action? WHRO recently visited Isle of Wight County Schools to find out!

Their latest Education Now story highlights our award-winning Agricultural Land Lab and the hands-on learning experiences that connect students to agriculture, career skills, and the food they enjoy in our school cafeterias.

From high school students sharing their agricultural knowledge with younger learners to exploring crops, livestock, and our greenhouse, the story showcases how IWCS is creating meaningful opportunities for students to learn by doing.

We’re grateful to WHRO Public Media for highlighting our students, staff, and community partners and sharing the impact of our Farm-to-School programs with the region.

🧡 ORANGE OUT TOMORROW! 🧡

Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 21, IWCS is going ORANGE for Unity Day in recognition of National Bullying Prevention Month!

🧡 Wear orange to show your support for bullying prevention and send a powerful message: Bullying is never okay, and every student deserves to feel safe, supported and included — at school, online and in our community.

Whether you're a student, parent, educator or community member, you can help make a difference. Be a buddy, stand up for others, choose kindness and help create a culture where everyone belongs.

Let's fill our schools with orange and show that we stand together against bullying—not just tomorrow, but every day! 🧡

💗 PINK OUT at IWCS! 💗

A little pink goes a long way when we wear it for a purpose! 🎀

On Wednesday, our Isle of Wight County Schools family came together for a division-wide Pink Out in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From our schools to our offices, students and staff wore pink to show support for survivors, honor loved ones we’ve lost, and stand with everyone whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.

Behind every pink shirt, ribbon and smile is a reminder that this fight is personal for so many in our community. 💗

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped fill IWCS with a little extra pink, compassion and hope. Together, we can raise awareness, encourage early detection and remind those facing breast cancer that they are not alone.

Moving Forward Together — in our schools, in our community and in the fight against breast cancer. 💞
