Students who wish to join as a MEMBER-AT-LARGE may attend any of our regular StuCo meetings (every other Tuesday at 3:30) until the end of second quarter to ensure everyone has a chance to try it out and see if StuCo is the right place for them! If you are new to Wakefield after second quarter, let Ms. Cox know if you are interested in joining clevey@wcpss.net.
If You WANT to RUN for STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE:
Elections are held at the END of the school year, May 2025.
Step 1: Review the Constitution to understand the duties and responsibilities, as well as the eligibility rules for each of the elected positions.
Step 2: Decide which position that you would like to apply to be a candidate for office. Complete this APPLICATION and submit it by TBD. Make sure you access the form using your Student account. Plan to attend the INTEREST MEETING on TBD where you will be interviewed by the advisor. You must complete an interview in order to run for office.
Step 3: After all interviews have been completed, the advisor will contact you via your email regarding your candidate status. Per our Constitution, only 3 candidates per office will be allowed to run. Rules for campaign speeches and virtual posters will be given at that time. You will receive this email by TBD. No campaigning can begin until you receive the email.
Step 4: Each candidate will create and submit 1) a picture, 2) completed application, and 3) speech and question and answer session in front of the student body. Failure to submit these things will invalidate your candidate status. You will also be able to post up to 3 posters in specific assigned areas of the school for maximum visibility. Make sure posters have been proofread and have been approved by the advisor before hanging.
Step 5: Speeches and Posters will go live the week of TBD. Voting will take place during that week during class (to be determined on team). All votes must be submitted by TBD. Winners will be announced on our Website Home Page/Social Media and the Announcements on the School's Website by TBD.
