Special Board Meeting- 9/1/21
8/23/21- Draft Minutes
8/23/21
The West Washington School Corporation held an emergency meeting on Monday 8/23/21.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss growing numbers of students missing school reported as ill, the number of students currently quarantined and the number of Covid positive students. Most alarming was the exponential increase in cases from the end of last week through today.
Mr. Nance recommended to the board that the school move to virtual instruction until Tuesday 9/7/21. Additionally, it was recommended that extra curricular activities that are a part of the school or hosted by the school be suspended.
The recommendations were passed by the school board.
The school board will reconvene next week to determine a plan to return that may include additional Covid mitigation protocols. At that time a return to school and return to extracurricular activities will be discussed and decided.
During virtual instruction students will be expected to join lessons during the school day. Students should check their Google Classrooms for schedules and instructions for turning in work.
The school will provide Grab & Go meals each day for those that request them. Call the superintendent’s office to have your name added to the list for meals. It will be the responsibility of the family to come to school and pick up the meals.
It is our sincere hope that we can return to school and have no further closures this school year.

July 19th Board Agenda
The United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved all schools to offer free breakfasts and lunch to all students regardless of income for this school year 2021-22.
Some things to keep in mind:
Students must take the required components to make a reimbursable meal in order for it to be free. The kitchen staff will help students take a full reimbursable meal.
We encourage all families and students to eat a school meal daily. It is good for the student and the school!
If students purchase extras (such as a bottled drink) available in the serving line , a la carte the student will be charged for these items. if your student intends to purchase items other than the meal please make sure there are adequate funds on their account.
Nothing needs to be sent to the school in order to have a student receive meals for free. Free meals are automatically offered to all students regardless of income.
Families that believe they qualify for free and reduced meals normally ,should STILL submit a free meal application as this can help with qualifying for assistance programs for the family and student.(TEXTBOOK ASSISTANCE)
YOU MUST FILL OUT THE APPLICATION TO RECEIVE TEXTBOOK FEE ASSISTANCE!

"I have noticed some incredible growth in students' understanding in the Back on Track program. By adding some gamification and competition to the program I have students showing growth and a better understanding of proportional relationships, rational versus irrational understanding, and integer operations. This friendly competition, both in teams and individually, has shown that not only do my students understand these concepts on the surface, but are ready to argue and support their reasoning behind the deeper understanding of these big ticket items. It has been inspirational to watch their growth and excitement."

WWSC Change in Delay Announcement-
After 2 hours of driving roads, the decision to delay has been reconsidered.
WWSC will be closed and will have virtual instruction Friday 2/19/21.
Too many roads south of Posey Chapel and around the 150 Corridor are still 2/3 or more covered and snow pack has become ice. Fog and temperature are not helping our cause.

WWSC will be closed Thursday 2/18/21 and will have virtual instruction.
Students, you know the drill. Do your school work.
WWSC Closure Announcement-
WWSC will be closed Wednesday 2/17/21.
The WC Hwy Department and our WW Maintenance staff have done an outstanding job clearing most roads and our school property. However, with some areas in tree lined hills and valleys the roads are still slick. That coupled with extremely low temperatures we can't take even the slightest risk of a stalled or stuck bus or vehicle.
WWSC will NOT have a Virtual Day tomorrow. We still have one built in day on March 19th and we will use it to make up tomorrow's closure. Everyone could use the break from virtual instruction and those that need it can use it to get caught up on their work.
WWSC Announcement-
WWSC families, staff and students need to be prepared for the following scenarios for Wednesday 2/17/21:
Scenario #1:
2 hour delay- ALL students PreK-12 attend.
We have been out for 7 straight school days. Therefore, ALL students will attend. EVEN WITH IT BEING A WEDNESDAY, ALL STUDENTS WILL ATTEND.
Scenario #2:
Cancellation- Although many roads are in very good shape, some side roads are still in poor condition. The Hwy Dept has done an excellent job and the sun is helping tremendously. However, the roads still need to be evaluated this evening after the sun has gone down and potentially again in the morning.
If a definitive decision can be made tonight it will be communicated as soon as it is made.
*I know this can be frustrating for some needing childcare and trying to make arrangements in advance. We are trying to do our very best to be in school while balancing the safety of travel for staff and students. Road conditions can vary greatly from 6 PM one evening until 6 AM the next morning.
WWSC Closure & Virtual Day Announcement-
WWSC will be closed and have virtual instruction Tuesday 2/16/21.

Covid Announcement- PLEASE READ
Game Cancellation
WW FANS-
Vouchers for the WW vs. SHS Football game are going fast. Pick yours up in the HS Office ASAP.
WWSC had a custodian test positive for Covid today. We were notified this evening.
Although contact tracing does NOT impact any teaching staff, support staff or office staff, it has impacted a handful of our custodial staff. With last week being Fall Break, we had limited staff in the building and no students.
We still have the ability to sanitize daily and nightly, but it is going to stretch our staff thin. I cannot express how thankful and proud I am of our custodial staff and the job they have done and will continue to do during these unprecedented times.
We will still open on a normal schedule tomorrow. This is a reminder that we MUST continue to follow precautions. Wearing face coverings and washing hands frequently is an ABSOLUTE necessity. Covid has NOT gone away and although we are all tired of it, we CANNOT let our guard down.
IF this affects any additional staff members, then we will evaluate and make adjustments as needed. Our custodial staff is ESSENTIAL to our Covid plan.
Please keep the health and safety of our school, staff and students in your prayers.
During Friday's home football game against Salem we will honor Coach Bowsman's decision to be an organ donor.
Representatives from the Indiana Donor Network will be present to promote organ donation. We ask those in attendance wear a little piece of green (color that represents organ donation), green bracelets will be handed out at the game by the Indiana Donor Network.
Coach Bowsman was a beloved figure in both of our communities. His commitment and leadership will never be forgotten. He will live on through the thousands of people that he impacted personally, his gift of organ donation and his story.
Tickets for the game will be handed to players on Monday and ticket vouchers will be available at Salem and West Washington on Tuesday. WWSC will still limit the number of tickets for the game and a voucher must be presented at the gate to pay for your admission. NO walk up tickets will be sold.
#WWeGrow SENATOR PRIDE
We will have a Virtual Wednesday for students in grades 7-12 on Wednesday, October 14th.

Today in Governor’s Holcomb’s address we learned of the impending executive order to close schools through the remainder of the year.
I am sure that many of you are like me, devastated by the news that we will not return to school this school year. Although I understood this was a real possibility I was still harboring hope that we would be back together. That we would be celebrating milestones together, saying our goodbyes, hosting trophies and taking bows.
I am also sure that many of you are consoling some crushed kids. This has been a trying year, a difficult time for many of us in so many ways. We will get through this like we have our previous hardships, together.
This distancing makes it more difficult to lean on each other, but do not fall into the trap of isolation and despair. We have to be physically distant, but we do not have to be socially distant. Luckily, we live in a world where we can communicate in a variety of ways. Although, it is not the same as in person support and learning we do have the tools to do this.
If there is any comfort it is that we are in this together. I am upset as many of our dedicated educators are because we love this school, we believe that our work is critical for our children and our community and we love the people we work with.
Our commitment at WW to our kids and community have never been stronger.
WWSC has secured FREE access to supplemental digital programs for kids PreK-8th grade. This can not be used in place of teacher developed work but as additional support only. The sites and code is on the attachment.

Detailed information on WWSC School Closure-
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oJ0aY4zWx2itSQIuQhQu4y254oa8bws945lTP5qvPSg/edit?usp=sharing
WWSC will be CLOSED TO STUDENTS the week of 3/16-3/20.
Spring Break will be the week of 3/23-3/27.
A decision about future closures will be communicated immediately following the decision being made.
Information about remote learning will be shared on Monday morning. Students can check their Google Classrooms for updates, assignments and activities.
Anyone requesting alternate/non-digital assignments can contact the school office that your child attends. Elementary 812-755-4934. Jr/Sr High School 812-755-4996.
WWSC will provide food service to those that call and request it. We are not sure exactly what this will look like yet. You may call the Superintendent's Office on Monday to be added on a list. More details will follow about food service. Superintendent's Office 812-755-4872.
*There was NO communication or guidance from the federal, state or local levels to cancel school. No information from the Governor's memo or CDC had changed since 3/12/20. The leadership team and school board made the decision after collecting all relevant data and waiting for the officials that are charged with public health and safety to make a determination. That determination never came. Therefore, we made a decision to err on the side of caution.
WWSC board and leadership will meet again following the press conference scheduled for 3 PM by the President and follow up releases by the state. This is a fluid situation and no decision is set in stone.

Both of the Ferguson children received special awards and recognition. Isaac received the "IF Award", for continued persistence throughout the program.
Abbigail was awarded Honor Grad and got meritoriously promoted to Private First Class.

WW will be practicing a variety of safety drills today, including the response to an intruder. It is unfortunate that this is something we must do, but it is an absolute necessity that we are prepared.
We always begin with an assembly to discuss the seriousness of these drills. Then have individual teachers discuss with their classrooms and answer questions. After the scenario drills we debrief with the students and the safety team spends the next few days evaluating our response.
Please take the time to discuss these drills with your children. Our goal is to be prepared without traumatizing our children. Our school is a safe place and we want it to remain that way.
Enjoy the sunrise the next few days, Daylight Savings Time is coming...November 2nd.
