I hope you all have had a great summer. We are excited about the start of school. This first day for students is August 17.

WCUSD#15 plans for the Villages of Sherman and Williamsville, community members, parents, and students to continue to be partners, to support our school district, be understanding, flexible, and cooperative for the 2021-2022 school year. Together we can achieve more.

WJHS & WHS Traffic Flow: Due to construction, we are asking all community members, parents, and students to use the Williamsville overpass road to enter and exit WJHS & WHS. Our school buses will have priority for student drop-offs and pick-ups in front of WJHS & WHS circle drives. There will be no student morning drop offs or after school student pick up for parents in the WJHS or WHS circle drive. The WJHS & WHS principals will be communicating specific traffic flow plans to parents and students.

We are exited about another school year. Thank you for being partners in your child's education and extracurricular activities.

IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE A BULLET AND A BEE BEE!

WCUSD#15 Parents, Families, & Students

I apologize for the short notice, but I have been able to finalize and evaluate our local data this afternoon. I appreciate all the community support, input, feedback, and recommendation emails. This decision is based on staff input, administrative feedback, staffing concerns with lack of substitutes, local Williamsville & Sherman COVID-19 data, Sangamon County COVID-19 data, and current increases in COVID-19 positive cases within the district, Sangamon County, and the State of Illinois.

Today, we have been notified of 21 positive COVID-19 cases connected to WCUSD#15. (16 students and 5 staff)

I wanted to inform you we will be switching to Full Remote Learning December 1-18. https://youtu.be/O35uDUtscbw

• Sangamon County COVID-19 and area numbers continue to increase
• Availability of local hospital beds are decreasing
• Local District COVID-19 positives, quarantines, and exposures are increasing
• We simply do not have the staff or available substitutes for in-person learning

Our building campuses will be open for teachers to invite/schedule small groups of students for instruction.

SES Pre-K and Structured students will still attend 5 days per week.

Students in grades 5-12 will be expected to follow their bell schedule, be online during required times, and daily engaged remotely.

Please contact your child's building principal or teacher with additional questions or information.

We all prefer and understand the importance of in-person learning, unfortunately we can't accomplish this. During this challenging time, Full Remote Learning is our best academic option for our students and staff.

Return To In-Person Learning Hybrid AA/BB December 1 through December 18

At this time, we are planning on returning to in-person learning by using the Hybrid In-Person Learning Plan. This is all predicated to evaluation of the local area, district, and Sangamon County COVID-19 data. Staff, parents, families, and students need to be prepared to pivot and switch to Full Remote Learning at any time.

For additional details, please watch the video link and informational attachment below.

Due to the current COVID-19 situation in the District, Sangamon County, and State of Illinois, we need to pivot and take an adaptive pause from our current 4 day in-person learning to Full Remote Learning Grades PK-12 through November 30.
