Great things are happening at WCS!

The Woolwich Basketball season has come to an end! The boys were led by their 8th graders, but the future is bright with all of the young talent on the team. They worked hard and put forth tremendous effort, finishing as the #3 seed in the league. Our girls showed growth this season with a young team and had some big wins. They came up short in the playoffs against Bristol, but it wasn't for a lack of effort. We are proud of both teams and the good sportsmanship they displayed all season long!

If you have a health-related concern that may impact your student’s day at school, please notify Nurse Megan by calling 443-9739 or emailing mbullock@rsu1.org

Some examples of health-related concerns include but are not limited to:

🩹 Your student was not feeling 100% this morning, but was not ill to the point where you felt they needed to stay home.

🩹 Your student sustained an injury that may impact their ability to fully participate in the activities of the school day.

🩹 Your student was prescribed a medication that needs to be administered at school.

🩹 Your student has a new diagnosis such as an allergy or other chronic condition, or you have medical updates related to a known diagnosis.

Notifying the school nurse about your student’s health information ensures that we can provide you with current CDC and DOE School Health guidelines for managing illnesses and returning to school after an illness. Furthermore, it allows us to communicate the necessary health information to relevant staff members to ensure both the safety and comfort of your student.

• February Vacation is coming right up! If your family will be missing 2 or more days of school, please remember to complete a Planned Absence form for each student. This helps teachers plan their classroom work and allows the office to excuse the absence. CLICK HERE to access the form!

• We have been reviewing recess safety expectations with students this month. Some of the rules for the playground include: no throwing snow, stay off any icy spots, and no pushing-games. Feel free to talk with your students about the importance of safety in their play at recess time and at home!

• Join us at Woolwich Central School at 4:30pm on Thursday, 2/8 for the county level of the Scripps National Spelling Bee! WCS students, Millie Polizotto and Caroline Luchies will compete against students from Woodside Elementary School for the chance to continue on to the State level! Good luck spellers!!
