Principal's Message
Dear Wakefield Middle School Families,
What a wonderful week! I remain impressed and proud of the resiliency of our students and staff! This week was another huge transition for all students, Plan A and Virtually. All students have responded to the changes well and continue to respect the changes needed to continue to maintain the health and safety of our students and staff.
We will continue to work hard through these last few instructional weeks prior to starting our End of Year Testing. We will share our Testing Schedule with families next week.
Sincerely,
Alison Cleveland
Principal

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Teacher Appreciation Week
Students in Quarantine
- Although the student will be marked as absent, his or her absences will be coded as excused.
- The student has access to any of his or her blended live virtual classes. If he or she has classes that are currently only in-person, there is no GoogleMeet to view.
- Students can access all of their assignments and messages on their Google Classrooms.
- Teachers who teach virtually will record new instruction each day. The counselor will send the student daily emails with videos of virtual classes that were recorded by teachers that day. These can be used as a resource while learning at home.
- We also encourage students to communicate with teachers using email and/or Google Classroom. Students will be able to schedule time to meet with teachers virtually during WolfTime or their planning periods.
Plan A Procedures
Please be sure to review the updated procedures with your students prior to their returning to the school building by visiting our Return to Campus Guide. Please remember that social distancing is expected whenever feasible. We will work to create and allow for as much distance as is possible in classrooms and we will utilize class change, lunch, and bathroom/handwashing procedures that maintain appropriate distance. Face coverings remain mandatory at all times except for when eating and drinking or during a scheduled mask break.

School Bus Transportation - Action Needed
Eligible bus riders currently in Virtual Academy returning to in-person learning must apply for bus service. The student must meet all transportation eligibility requirements.
Students must also submit the daily attestation form. Bus assignments will not be provided until the attestation form is received.
Please go to the transportation website to apply for service (wcpss.net/busrider) and to submit the attestation form (wcpss.net/busform).
Requests made for transportation will be closed after three days if the attestation form is not received, and the parent will be notified. Students will be assigned to a bus as quickly as possible after the attestation form is received.
