Carroll Elementary School recently issued the following announcement.
WPSD Students, Parents/Caregivers, and Staff:
I hope you are enjoying your summer vacation! We are looking forward to seeing everyone on campus on Monday August 23rd. I would like to provide you with an update on the District’s Health and Safety Plan and a few items for the start of the 2021-2022 school year.
On July 19, 2021, the WPSD approved the 2021-2022 Health and Safety Plan. Some key points of the plan are as follows:
- Facial coverings will be optional for all vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals when on school grounds.
- Per federal orders, facial coverings will be required for all individuals while on school district transportation.
- Vaccinations will not be required for students or staff.
- Volunteers and Guests will be permitted inside school buildings.
- Large group spaces, i.e. Auditorium/Stage, Gymnasiums, Cafeterias, Libraries, and Art and Music rooms will be used during the upcoming school year.
- Elementary students will be permitted to utilize all pieces of equipment during recess.
- Class trips will be permitted for the school year.
- Food sales will resume at all school and sporting events.
The vision for the upcoming school year is to provide an education that resembles pre-pandemic school years. Our focus will be to provide traditional, in-person instruction for all students. All students will return to school on Monday, August 23rd. The following start and end times will apply for the 2021-2022 school year:
Elementary: 8:35AM – 3:35PM
Middle School: 7:45AM – 2:30PM
High School: 7:30AM – 2:25PM
My hope is that this information provides you with the details needed to send your student(s) back to school knowing the WPSD is trying to plan for a sense of normalcy for the upcoming school year. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Thank you,
David M. Zula
