WISD 2020-2021 School Calendar Survey
Parents/Guardians:
It is time to begin gathering information regarding the creation of the 2020-2021 Weatherford ISD school calendar. Please click on the link below to give your input:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/553KBHZ
Once we receive feedback from all stakeholders, we will create two possible calendars. You will be given the opportunity to vote on the calendar you think best meets the needs of our students, staff, and community. Your input will then be shared with District administrators and the Weatherford ISD Board of Trustees.
Kanga Care Clinic
PURPOSE
Kanga Care is a partnership between Weatherford ISD and Parker County Hospital District Outreach Program, to provide medical care onsite at each campus. Through the use of telemedicine and the Medpod Medical Cart, the healthcare needs of staff and students can be met in a convenient setting with each campus nurse. Kanga Care's purpose is to increase the educational success of students and staff by assuring access to healthcare. Early treatment can decrease the need for expensive medical care and unnecessary Emergency Room visits.
How to enroll in Kanga Care?
Fill out the Kanga Care Consent and either email it back to: kangacare@pchdtx.org or turn it in at any WISD school campus in the Kanga Care lock box.
If you have any questions please feel free to call Kathleen Durham with PCHD at 817-599-1230.

VAPING
Each day next week, during announcements, students will receive information about the dangers of vaping.
The vaping-related condition that has sickened thousands of people has a new name: E-cigarette or Vaping product use Associated Lung Injury, shortened to EVALI. The new name, noted in newly issued guidance for clinicians from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and Prevention, is a sign of the rapidly evolving investigation into the illness, which has sickened 1,299 people across 49 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The case count has continued to climb week after week. At least 33 people have died from a vaping-related lung disease, the CDC says. The outbreak is worsening as flu season ramps up.

Shout out to Hayden Walker.
He took initiative and cared enough to pick up trash outside at Tison while waiting for a late bus.
