Please enter through door 1. You can press the bell to talk to the office, but you will be asked to wait in the entryway area between the 2 sets of doors. To minimize the amount of germs in the building we are limiting entry into the building to staff and students only. Lastly, don't forget to wear a mask!

Blessings in a backpack for virtual students will be available inside door 1. This new location will be used starting Friday, January 15th and moving forward. If you need any additional resources, please reach out to our School Social Worker, Ashlee Karpinsky at akarpins@wausauschools.org.
