What's Happening at Whitt!
Once a wolf, always a wolf!
August 14, 2020
Morning Drop Off Reminders
- Please encourage your Wolf to be ready to exit the vehicle promptly when you pull up.
- Wolves can open their own car doors. We try to open as many doors as we can, but we sometimes have more cars than staff:) This will keep the line moving!
Attendance/Learning for On-Campus Learners who are absent
- If students at home feel well enough, they can still participate in learning through Google Classroom with their current on-campus teacher.
- If students are home sick and they are not able to participate in Google Classroom activities, they will be marked absent as they normally would when missing school due to an illness.
- Teachers will post activities, and possibly videos, in Google Classroom for students in isolation/quarantine/home sick. The Google Classroom information will be communicated to parents by the teacher. Students in these circumstances will stay with their teacher of record, activities are just done online for the temporary time period until they are able to come back to on-campus instruction.
- Try to use a device at home if possible, but we can check out a Chromebook to that student for those days if needed.

- Only students will enter the building. Parents and visitors are not permitted for the safety of our students and staff.

News from Nurse Kim
- Each week you will need to complete a weekly health screening survey for your student. https://forms.wylieisd.net/Forms/HealthScreening
- I am going to serve as your point of contact for COVID-related issues including reporting illnesses and possible exposures. When a student is ill at school, the teacher will notify the nurse for the need for a clinic visit. When a student has potential COVID-symptoms, they will be kept isolated as they wait to be picked up. If your student is experiencing symptoms at home, please include them on the health survey or notify me. I will contact you to work out a return to school activities date.
