Originally, this day was planned as a teacher professional development day. However, we are now using it to make up for a recent snow day.

This evenings snow totals continue to be heavy as predicted, WUSD is going to plan for a 2 hour AM delay tomorrow, March 10th. Morning bus pick up will be two hours later than normal.
AM 4K will be cancelled. PM 4K will run as scheduled.

CHANGE TO ACADEMIC CALENDAR: The WUSD School Board approved modifying the current academic calendar to make Monday, March 13, a regular day of school for students.
The day was originally planned as a teacher professional development day, but will now be used to make up for last week’s snow day. This will prevent us from needing to add another day to the end of the school year in June.
We appreciate the understanding and flexibility of our families as we make this change.
REMINDER: No School tomorrow, Friday, February 24, for teacher professional development. We’ll see our students again on Monday!
Due to the current road conditions Whitewater Unified Schools will be closed for today, Thursday, February 23, 2023.

Best,
Dr. Caroline Pate-Hefty
