Scheduling for high school and junior high students for the 2008-2009 school year should be completed before the current school year is over.  Please call the guidance office if you have any questions.  Any schedule changes initiated by the student after June 6th will result in a $10 change of schedule fee. Students new to our district are encouraged to notify the school as soon as possible.

Driver’s Education will again be offered at Wayne Trace in June.  Registration materials are available in the Guidance Office.  The classes will begin June 2^nd.  Due to increases in fuel, the cost of the class has been raised to $326.  Please call Safe Start Driving School for more information:  419-258-1069.
