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 students did an excellent job demonstrating what they have learned and representing the school.
We are proud of you!

WWSC will operate on a NORMAL IN-PERSON schedule beginning Thursday 1/20/22.
WWSC is set for a return to in-person instruction tomorrow Thursday 1/20/22.
The weather will be monitored this evening and announcement will be made about the schedule prior to 9 PM.
Planning Session and Board Meeting Scheduled for today have been postponed to Monday 1/24/22.
WWSC will move to virtual instruction from Monday 1/17/22 through Wednesday 1/19/22.
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.
Tomorrow's forecast is variable depending on the forecasting outlet.
After participating in the NWS conference call a decision about school on Thursday cannot be made at this time.
However, if weather were to hit suddenly it could be necessary to implement an early dismissal. We ask that parents review and plan for potential early dismissals for the instance that it may be necessary.
Linked is the schools protocol for determining inclement weather closings. It includes decisions based on snow, temperature and more.
