WWSC will have the second virtual day on Friday 2/4/22.
Remember that students have the entire weekend to complete and turn in their work.
Typically we do not announce closures based on forecasts, but the threat for very dangerous weather is probable.
With that being said, we will be closed Thursday and Friday and have virtual instruction for those days.
For the safety of staff, they will not be allowed to report to work on campus Thursday. If conditions persist the same may apply Friday.
We are concerned that students may not have access to the internet or even electricity for portions of the next few days. Our CURRENT plan will be to have virtual days posted each day by 10 am. HOWEVER, an announcement could be made on Thursday night cancelling our Friday virtual day IF there is widespread power and internet outages.
We will handle these virtual days a little differently.
We will allow students the entirety of the weekend to complete the work.
We will not require virtual meetings. There will be videos posted and work posted that needs to be completed.
Teachers will make every effort to be available to students, but we realize that teachers may be equally affected by outages of electricity and internet.
If your child is unable to complete assigned work due to outages please contact your child's teacher.

WWSC will operate on a 2 hour delay today Friday 1/28/22.
It is supposed to be bitterly cold in the morning. Our threshold for delaying or cancelling based on temperature is 0 degrees raw temperature or -10 wind chill or below. At this time the prediction of temperature is above that threshold. At this time, we will be operating on a normal schedule Wednesday 1/26/22.
Please dress children appropriately for the weather. If the weather causes any issues with water and children need to use our shower facilities that can be arranged through our counseling offices.
Today WW Elementary competed in their first Robot Team Challenge. They had a strong finish for their first ever competition.

The West Washington staff has been hit hard by this surge in Covid. We powered through this week of school, but the number of staff out sick grew exponentially each day. We already know that we will be shorthanded next week.
We are attempting to keep this move to virtual as short as possible to allow us to get closer to full strength. It is our intention to return to full in person instruction on Thursday 1/20/22.

WWSC CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT-
WW will now be closed and have a virtual day today, Friday 1/7/22.
Many side roads in the southern portion of our school corporation remain slick. Particularly Posey and southern Howard Township.
In addition, the very cold temperatures create a scenario where we don't want students waiting at the bus stop for extended time if a bus is delayed due to road conditions.
Teachers will have materials and instructions posted prior to 10 am. Students should check their Google Classrooms and follow the instructions and lessons provided by their teachers.
WWSC will be dismissing at 1:00 pm today, Thursday 1/6/22.
We will be on a 2 hour delay Friday 1/7/22.
All afterschool events and practiced are cancelled for Thursday 1/6/22.
Mask Update-
WWSC will still require masks through 1/12/22. This is due to that the fact that the Washington County Metric is RED.
The county metric will be updated on 1/12/22. An announcement will be made when the metric is released.
