WMS--We are so excited to welcome everyone back for a great 2021 portion of the school year! With everyone mixing and matching over the holidays, I just want to remind everyone that masks are expected at WMS. Lots of kids have been forgetting their mask or wearing them around their chin/neck. Masks will be crucial for the next few weeks. Please remind your child to bring a mask every day and encourage them to wear it properly. Good, bad, or indifferent on the mask issue, the advantage of this language is kids only have to be out of school for 3 days instead of 10 for close contact. It gets kids back to school sooner! If a mask doesn't work for your family, no problem! I'd just ask that you send me an email at todd.brist@k12.sd.us and I'll add them to my list for contact tracing (no mask will quarantine for 10 days and masked students will quarantine for 3). I need to hear directly from parents because sometimes the parent's expectation is different than the kid's wish. Thanks for your help on this!

WMS Caring Projects Students have been learning about empathy and volunteering and are now participating in caring projects to help our community. Please ask your child about their team's caring project. You are not obligated to send money, but we encourage you and your child to talk about the project and help our community by participating in any way you can.

It gets kids back to school faster! Lots of kids are forgetting their mask or wearing them around their chin/forehead. Please remind your child to bring a mask every day and encourage them to wear it properly. If a mask doesn't work for your family, no problem!

The Watertown School District announces free breakfast and lunch for all students beginning October 1 and continuing through December or until federal funding runs out. Any enrolled student in K-12 is eligible for these meals. We have also changed our student close contact procedures. Beginning on October 5, if a student is masked, they would have the option of following the recommended 14-day close contact quarantine or choose to quarantine for 72 hours and come back to school masked, temp checked and socially distanced where permitted. School principals will notify you should this happen in your child's school. We are also changing the language with regards to masking from "highly recommended" to "expected." All students were given a mask to start the year, and we ask that you make sure your child has one with them each day. More details on the close contact procedures can be found at: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/949702/Close_Contact_Student_Leave_Procedure.pdf. With this change, WHS will resume in-person classes on Mon. Oct. 5, and 7-12 activities will resume as well next week.

WMS--It would have been my hope that you'd see the back to school letters in the mailboxes today, but...COVID19. It is our plan to finish the details this week and mail back to school letters on Friday. Thanks for your patience and I look forward to seeing you all soon!
