K-8 WS Winter Sports
Due to the rising numbers of Covid cases in the state, WS will not offer a winter sports program at this time. The School Board will be revisiting this topic at their February 9th meeting at 6:00 pm. This meeting is remote and open to the public. We will send out an agenda prior to the meeting with a link to join us remotely.
Increasing School Day Creates Small Changes
Starting on Monday, January 25th, new school hours, K-8, will be from 8:15 am to 1:15 pm, so we can increase instruction time to 4 hours, with lunch and recess making up the 5th hour. This means that we are shifting bus schedules, drop-off and pick-up times a little. Parents will continue to follow the same traffic pattern in the mornings, but health checks will start at 7:45 am and end by 8:00 am. The buses will pull into the school yard at about 8:00 am and unload by about 8:05 am. All students will go directly to their classrooms after hand washing and temp checks. FREE breakfast will be available for all children who ask for it, (same with FREE lunch). The principal will lead the school in the pledge over the PA system and school will begin at approximately 8:15 am. At 1:15 pm, the buses will be in the front of the school and students will be loaded. At approximately 1:20 pm, parents can follow the same traffic pattern to pick up their child. Please note that since the bus run typically started at the school at 7:15 am, we are now asking the buses to head out at 7 am. You can calculate that the buses will now pick up students 15 minutes earlier every morning starting on January 25th. This means that we are eliminating WIN time in the afternoon. Teachers have created their own new classroom schedules and can share them with you upon request. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions.
