From the Nurse......
Please bring medications in their original bottles and do not send medications to school with your children.
If your child is sick and you are keeping them home, please call the nurse.
Covid Protocol
There will no longer be an online positive form to fill out. Parents/students will refer to their school nurse for guidance.
We will continue to follow ADH/CDC Covid guidelines.
Students with a positive covid test will need to be out for 5 days from the onset of symptoms and fever-free for 24 hours.
Students with a positive covid test, not exhibiting any symptoms, will need to be out for 5 days from the date of the positive test.
Physician diagnosis (physical piece of paper stating “Covid”) will require a student to be out for 5 days from the onset of symptoms OR 5 days from the date of the positive test if no symptoms are present.
Physician diagnosed/required absences will be excused in eSchool.
Parent/guardian report of a positive test will not be excused. The absences will be deducted from a student’s allowable semester absences.

Times to Remember @ WC
* Students arriving after 8:00 are marked tardy
* Half-day cut offs
* Students that check in after 8:45 will be marked absent for the morning
* Students that check out before 3:05 will be marked absent for the afternoon
* Student transportation changes
In order to help us keep all students safe and accounted for any transportation changes must be made via a phone call to the office. If your child's transportation needs to change you must call the office before 2:45.
* We must hear any transport changes directly from the parent/guardian.
Car Rider Line
In order to help car rider line run smoothly, we would love it if you can work with your children on buckling themselves in. We take child safety extremely seriously. If you would prefer to buckle your children in yourself, we ask that you pull up out of car rider line so that the rest of the line can continue to move smoothly.
