EYES School Climate Survey
In order to accurately measure and improve our school’s climate, we will be administering a school climate survey to all members of the school community. Different versions of the survey will be given to students and staff, which will allow us to hear from every single member of our school community. The survey is designed to assess perceptions of school climate, including feelings about safety, relationships, learning, the environment, and communication within the school.
The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Your feedback is important to helping Williston understand and improve the specific climate issues in our school. All responses are anonymous. There are no names or other personally identifying information attached to the survey. Furthermore, results will not be disaggregated for sub-groups with ten or fewer constituents in order to protect their confidentiality.

Please remember our students can bring their educational devices to school every day.

Plan B Bus Routes and Reminders
Families are required to have on file a Parent/Guardian Attestation form prior to utilizing bus transportation. The Parent/Guardian Attestation form can be found at https://www.nhcs.net/nhcsreadysetreturn. Completed forms may be emailed to bus.attestation@nhcs.net or turned in at your school. Schools are able to print forms for parents who are not able to.
Per the attestation form, temperature checks and symptom screening shall be done at home prior to the student leaving for the bus stop.
A face mask is required for all students riding the bus. There are no exemptions while riding the school bus.
Seating on the bus will be limited to one student per seat. Exceptions will be made for members of the same family.
Due to the reduced capacity of the buses, routes and stops have changed. Individual stops are combined into community stops.

Williston Late Work Policy
Students have ONE WEEK from the DUE DATE to turn late work in for partial credit of 70. Students and parents will be notified when students are consistently not completing work. However, please check PowerSchool or Edgenuity weekly to be sure your child is actually completing work.
After ONE WEEK late it will be a 0 (zero) in the grade book and this will adversely affect their final grade.
