It’s SPRING BREAK! We know this is a very different break than what we are used to, but we hope our families use this time to stay home as much as possible, relax, unplug and enjoy each other! Attached is a link to several virtual ‘trips’ to some really neat locations! Maybe consider visiting some next week! We are encouraging our teachers and staff to enjoy their break after a very stressful week. The office will be closed until March 30th. Stay well, wash your hands, and we will see you soon!

It's Gold Card Friday! Our students may not be in school, but Mr. Hollar and Mr. McGill went all out for today's episode. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/l5apznS4TZY
Theresa’s Gingerbread House III sent over a sweet message to WL-S this morning! They thought some of our teachers would enjoy seeing their students!
From Ms. Heather:
Our school age kids are doing a FANTASTIC job this morning staying focused and working hard on school work with Ms. Tasha! We know those times are difficult and stressful but we are doing our best to keep the kids happy and focused and doing their work for school at WL-S!!
Congratulations to Cheyenne Gluckle and Michael Farquharson for being selected as the March students of the month! Students are selected and nominated by their teachers based on their academics, character and hard work! Keep up the good work!
Today, our students get to hear from Mrs. Nieman! Our staff really misses all of our students so much so look for more as they keep sending these sweet messages your way!
Hello everyone! I already miss seeing each of you every day (even if I don’t always remember your names, I do remember YOU!)
I hope that through this challenging time you are having some fun moments and being creative making new memories!
Unfortunately, during this break I am not able to do what I normally love to do….hike in our National Parks!
My family’s goal is to visit every National Park someday (looking forward to Hawaii 😊).
Soooo……. since I can’t actually take a trip – I am looking at pictures and waiting for the future to appreciate it even more.
This picture was from our hike in the Rocky Mountains National Park, Colorado.
I hope each of you are staying healthy, keeping perspective (as this will pass) and making the most of the time you have to do something fun and stay in touch with your friends!
Take care of yourselves, we’ll be here waiting for you!
Mrs. Nieman
MS/HS Secretary

Guess what? We have a note from Mrs. Hollar to all of her students! And a picture of her dog that she walks to stay active and pass the time! Enjoy!
Hi Guys! This is Mrs. Hollar checking in to let you know what I have been doing over the past few days... working on activities for you to do at home, walking my dog, fixing healthy snacks for myself and family, and working out to a new video from Mrs. Craig’s fourth grade class. Stay tuned as I hope to send that out soon!
Miss you and hope to see you soon!
St. Patrick’s Day may have been a bit different than most, but these students sure celebrated in style! The Loudens started their day with green pancakes, while Calvin and Winnie Cotrell and Calen Fairchild made leprechaun crafts! How creative! Carter Pratt enjoyed doing his school work AS a leprechaun, while the Jackson’s and Fosters made certain no one could pinch them wearing all that green! Way to stay creative, guys!!
Our morning began with food service, transportation, para pro’s and other helpers packing lunches and getting ready for the first day of deliveries. It was nice to see so many smiling faces, even if it was from a distance! To see more, or for more information about how you can get lunches see the full story below.

Hi everyone! This is a friendly reminder for all of our MS/HS students to check Schoology every school day! In addition to messages from your teachers, you may just get some surprise visits from other staff! Today, Mrs. Molly Smith checked in and left the message below. We think everyone could benefit from this one, so check it out and show some gratitude today!
Get ready for daily posts from Mrs. M Smith! I plan to share a daily quote, a gratitude challenge (it's important we stay grateful during trying times) and maybe even a youtube video on bonus days (like today). Enjoy! 😊
Quote of the Day: You know what it takes to make a star shine? A ton of darkness.
Gratitude challenge: Think of one person you are grateful for. Tell them.
Youtube video: Breathing exercise. It's fun, I promise.

Good Afternoon! We hope you are all staying healthy! We continue to update the COVID-19 file on our website with current information as we receive it. Currently, we have uploaded information from the school lunch text message, as well as an easy how-to for accessing email accounts for grades 3-5. We also added a list of websites where you can find the most up to date information about the virus and hopefully answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
Our teachers have been in meetings and planning for how they can best serve our students during this time. This morning, our veteran SeeSaw users led a training for those who plan to using it moving forward. Our highschool teachers worked on creating videos and other distance teaching methods that should be most effective right now.
If you have any questions for your student’s teacher, you or your student can reach them during normal school hours, Monday-Friday via phone or email. We thank you for your support and patience and we will continue to work through this together!
