Wapello Community Schools

March 31, 2020 update: ****At her press conference today, Governor Reynolds issued no new guidance on school closure. I know that is at the front of everyone's minds right now. As always, we will follow the guidance of the Governor and IDPH. ****Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to everyone who took part in the Wave Parade this afternoon. Whether you were a driver or a spectator, it was a great way to spread a little bit of cheer. We may not be able to be in school, but our school family is still going strong. ****Our virtual "Spirit Week" continues tomorrow with a reading challenge. Tomorrow, the challenge is to stay in your PJs all day and read as much as you can. Who can find the most creative location in which to read? Please share pictures of you in your PJs reading the day away. ****And just in case you forgot, although I don't know how you could: Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Wash your hands. Stay home if you are sick. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands.

March 30, 2020 update: I just finished watching Governor Reynolds' press conference, and she has issued no new guidance on school closure. She did say she is anticipating more formal guidance from Washington, D.C. in the days to come. ***Many thanks to Tyson Foods for their donation of frozen chicken products. This will be a huge help to our meal distribution program. ***Remember our school parade starts at 1:30 tomorrow. See the following link for specific times and routes. https://www.wapello.k12.ia.us/wapello-csd-wave-parade-route. And remember to practice SOCIAL DISTANCING. ***Our virtual Spirit Week continues tomorrow with Explore Science. Create your own science experiment. Find an experiment online. Learn. Explore. Discover. And be sure to share whatever you do. Let's flood the net with pictures of science in action! ***It wouldn't be an update if we didn't include the Governor's recommendations: Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Wash your hands. Stay home if you are sick. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands. #wearewapello #wapellotribepride

The staff at Wapello Community Schools have organized a "Wave Parade" for students on Tuesday, March 31, 2020 at beginning at 1:30 p.m. We have put together our route and approximate times that the staff will visit neighborhoods in Wapello, Morning Sun, and Oakville. We hope all of our students can find their way to the route to wave at the staff! The staff is really missing all of the students and would love to give everyone a wave and a horn honk to let them know we are missing them. Check out our website for all of the details! https://www.wapello.k12.ia.us/wapello-csd-wave-parade-route #WeAreWapello #WapelloTribePride
