  • Updated Mask Mandate- 7/30/21

    All students, staff, and visitors are required to wear masks inside WCSD schools and buildings regardless of vaccination status, following Governor’s Directive 047.

    Face coverings may be removed for outdoor activities or while eating or drinking.

    The District is actively working with state officials to seek more guidance on this directive and will be sending out additional information to families, staff, and the community in the coming days.

    As always, thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we continue to adapt to the pandemic and COVID-19 mitigation protocols.
