Hello WL-S families this is Kraig Hissong, Superintendent. Today was a great first day to start off the school year. It was also a good day at the MS and HS Parent Drop-Off Loop. Traffic was heavy this morning, but continued to flow well. A few reminders: Please remember to let your children out from the right lane (Curb Lane) so they do not have to cross traffic. Also, please remember to pull around as far as you can before stoping to let your children out. Last, if you utilize the parking area in the middle of the MS/HS loop, please make sure your children use the crosswalk located at the top of the loop to go into the building. Also, remember if you have elementary students, continue to use the main drop-off loop. MS and HS students may also use the main drop off loop, which was not busy today. See the attached photo. The green highlighted area marks where you can let your children out of your vehicle. The pink highlighted area, indicates the cross walk for the center parking. Thank you and we will see you tomorrow.

Hello families , on Friday afternoon, we received notice from MASI, our laboratory that conducts regular, ongoing scheduled tests of our drinking water that we tested positive for Total Chloroform in our drinking water. This test does not indicate what specifically the issue is, but that some sort of bacteria was detectable in the drinking water. To be proactive, we have covered all drinking fountains in the building since Friday. We have also scheduled a retest of the water and we have hypo chlorinated each domestic water well and have flushed the water through the building. We are waiting to hear from the EPA regarding the situation. The district tests our water supply monthly by an outside source and we have not had any problems with Total Chloroform prior to this event.
We think the water is most likely safe to drink; however, as a precaution, the district is providing bottled water for students until we receive notification that the water is safe to drink. All water used for cooking is boiled prior to use. We hope that the water be available for drinking soon after we receive information from the EPA. The water is safe for students and staff to use to use to wash hands, etc. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact the school.
Thank you, Kraig Hissong
Week at a glance! Go Tigers!
