Warriors, The news of our buildings closing for the remainder of the year is heartbreaking for our students, staff, parents, and community. This had to be a hard decision for our state leaders, but one which is necessary for all our safety. Our administrators and teachers met earlier this week, and we planned to release our “April Educational Plan” to parents tomorrow. With the new developments, administrators are meeting immediately to revise our plan to ensure we meet the new requirements, and so that we can get it to our teachers, students, and parents ASAP. Please be patient as we were not given any heads up and found out at the same time as all of you. We will get through this together. #WDpride Mr. Mealy

Warriors, Schoology is experiencing a large volume of users across the country which is causing some issues. You may experience problems with the Schoology system. If you are having trouble in anyway with the system just take a break, then try back later. Do not stress over this, all of your teachers are aware of the issue and are very understanding. We have our administrative staff working with Schoology, and we will get through this together! #WDpride Mr. Mealy
