Many thanks to those who came out to the blood drive. We collected 43 units of blood to help Mrs. Olson! This is we almost double our typical blood drives!
We have 9 staff out and 80 students today due to COVID related issues. Our plan is that tomorrow we will take a snow day with no school for teachers, support or students. Admin will be on site to hand out devices if needed to students from 9-12.
We are out of school on Monday for the MLK holiday there will be no way for us to get accurate data for what happens over the weekend to make any type of decision about returning Tuesday. So we will pivot into distance learning on Tuesday and stay in DL the remainder of next week. Teachers will be required to be at the school from 8:30 to 1:30 daily to conduct virtual class and or be available for questions from students. We will be sending home meal boxes that will contain 4 days of both breakfast and lunch to every bus rider and to all others can either come up to eat daily at 10-12 or they can be delivered. As far as basketball games next Thursday and Friday we will be in contact with the other schools and leave it up to them whether or not they want to play. We will get the word out on that by Wednesday. This is not what we hoped for but it is what it is. Please call me if you have any other questions.

COVID Report January 12, 2022.
We continue to see our COVID numbers rise in both our students and staff. At this time we only have a minimal number of staff members testing positive (3) and (6) students. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and make adjustments as need be. As long as we can provide teachers, cafeteria workers and bus drivers we will stay in session. As a parent you can help us by closely monitoring your child for symptoms and if they show any, please keep them at home until they have tested negative or the symptoms are gone for 72 hours. We can provide class work virtually for those case. All Basketball game (HS and MS) for the remainder of this week have been canceled.

Congratulations to our November Students of the Month!
Congratulations to Maddux Shelby and Caden Dishman who received First Team All-District honors in football. We are so proud of you!
The junior class’s float placed 2nd in the Webbers Falls Christmas Parade on Saturday and received honorable mention for the best theme at the Gore Christmas Parade. They also had some help from a few sophomores and teachers John Hicks, Arlena Tipken, and Lori Menie. It looks like they had a great time.
Congratulations to Webbers Falls teacher Meghan Johnson, who has just received her National Board Certification. National Board Certification is the most respected professional certification available in education. National Board candidates must demonstrate advanced knowledge, skills, and practice in their individual certificate area by completing four components: three portfolio entries and a computer-based assessment. National Board Certification was designed to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide. Mrs. Johnson is certainly deserving of this honor. We are so proud of you!
