WBSD Update
A weekly update from the West Bloomfield School District
March 27, 2020 - Have a great Spring Break, Team WB!
You should be incredibly proud of everything you've accomplished in our last two weeks of Cloud Learning during these unprecedented times. It is our driving mission to do what is best for kids each and every single day.
Have a great Spring Break, Team WB! We will see you on April 6 as we continue our Cloud Learning Initiative.
#WBRelationshipsCount - #MakeItCountWB - #WBintheCloud - #ReadwithWBSD
We hold a conviction that it is our work on relationships, culture, and accountability over the course of a school year, and a school career, that allows us to be as effective as we are in a virtual environment. The students and staff know each other, and feel a sense of accountability to one another, along with a responsibility to support one another.
Without the strong relationships we have built, our online success would not be near what is has been. Visit wbsd.org/supportcloudlearning to find out how you can help.
Thank you, Team WB!
Cloud Learning Information
As we continue to support our Cloud Learning Initiative, staff members across the district took time today to come together and develop lesson plans following our return from Spring Break. We are regularly sending updates via email and social media. The website links below are also continually updated throughout the week.
Meal Service Information
The district will be offering our Meal Service program over Spring Break as well. Preorder forms will soon be available for March 30 - April 5 at www.wbsd.org/mealservice.
Starting next week and moving forward, the district will transition to Meal Service pick-ups three days per week. Families will still receive seven days worth of food per child with pick-ups on Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week. Pick-Ups will still take place between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. each pick-up day at your pick-up location (Roosevelt Elementary or OLMS).
A breakdown of what families will receive is listed below:
Monday - Two Days of Meals: One cooked hot lunch, one uncooked lunch (with heating instructions) and two breakfasts
Wednesday - Two Days of Meals: One cooked hot lunch, one uncooked lunch (with heating instructions) and two breakfasts
Friday - Three Days of Meals: One cooked hot lunch, two uncooked lunches (with heating instructions) and three breakfasts
This change comes in an effort to support the Governor’s Stay Home order and to limit personal contact for our families and staff. Visit www.wbsd.org/mealservice for more information on our updated plan, order forms and more. Please call our Food Service office with any questions (248) 865-6732.
COVID-19 Information and Resources
SchoolMessenger SMS Messaging Support - Coming Soon!
Our district will soon be able to utilize the SchoolMessenger system to deliver text messages, straight to your mobile phone with important information about events, school closings, safety alerts and more. This resource is on top of the emails and phone messages you already receive from SchoolMessenger.
You can participate in this service just by sending a text message of “Y” or “Yes” to our district’s short code number, 67587.
Once our opt-in period has completed, we hope to utilize this community tool by early-April 2020.
You can also opt-out of these messages at any time by simply replying to one of our
messages with “Stop”.
SchoolMessenger is compliant with the Student Privacy PledgeTM, so you can rest assured that your information is safe and will never be given or sold to anyone.
