9 Health COVID Vaccination Clinic on Oct. 3rd!
Hello WAIS families! We are pleased to announced that Westminster High School is holding a free vaccination event on Sunday, October 3rd from 9am to 2pm. The vaccine is available for students 12 years and older. Please see (or click—however you want to word) the flier for information.
Presently, Adams County has an overall vaccination rate for children ages 12-17 of 58.75%, while WPS has an overall vaccination rate for children of only 23.1%. As winter approaches and we’re spending more time indoors, increasing our vaccination rate will increase our chances of staying “in-person” for school.
We know that going to online learning has an enormous impact on the lives, work and mental health of our families—not to mention the impact it has student learning—So please take advantage of this free and convenient opportunity!
Thanks

BE INFORMED--TikTok and Your Student's Safety
Hello WAIS Parents,
As you may have heard, schools across the nation have been dealing with a new social media trend called "Devious Licks" originating from the social media app "TikTok."
In this TikTok "challenge", Students are encouraging each other to steal from and vandalize their schools, and even harass staff. These offenses will not be tolerated at Westy Academy.
Consequences for these sorts of actions can include suspension, expulsion and legal charges.
Please see the attached fliers for more information on this trend, and please monitor your student's internet activity!
Thank you for your partnership.
Sincerely,
Russ Warwick
Principal, Westminster Academy for International Studies.
