Update on Expectations, Grading, Credit, Testing, Graduation, and More

As we have now heard from Governor Evers that we will be at home through at least April 24, 2020, we would like to take this time to welcome you to Whitewater High School’s Home based learning plan. This is going to look and feel different for all of us. We are committed to doing all we can to ensure that our students continue to learn and have contact with their teachers and classmates. We will be working as much as possible on the varying needs of our students and families.

As we make the transition to online learning, it is important that you discuss with your student the expectations of being an online learner. Please feel free to reach out to your teachers to gain clarification and know that Mr. O’Shaughnessy and I are available to assist you as well. Our school counselors, Ms. Hamilton and Mrs. Sonmor-Wintz are also here to help you. They will have office hours as well and will continue to be available for your questions about scheduling, post-secondary options, or your personal well-being.

Food Service Message from Lisa Griep
The District is making important changes to our meal distribution during the Wisconsin Safer at Home order. Starting Monday, March 30, a week’s worth of meals will be distributed each Monday. This includes five breakfasts and five lunches for each child. We will not distribute meals Tuesday through Friday. We will distribute at the same locations and during the same time frame (11:00 am to 12:00 pm). These meals are available to all children in the community 18 years old and younger. Children do not need to be physically present to receive the meal. Parents, guardians, and caregivers are able to pick-up meal bags for all eligible children in the household. Anyone with a fever or respiratory symptoms should not be picking up meals. When picking up a meal, you will now need to get out of your vehicle. The meals will be placed on a table to maintain social distancing. Location and additional information is available on the District’s COVID-19 website: https://wwusd.org/covid-19.

The Southern Lakes Conference awards were awarded to two gymnasts. This is a very high honor for the Whitewater High School Gymnasts.

Thank you to the parents for supporting the girls, organizing pasta parties, and all the other amazing things you have done throughout the season. Thank you to Mr. Bob Mischka for coming to the gymnastics meets and taking pictures of the girls. Overall, it was an amazing season, and I couldn’t ask for a better group of girls to work with.
