Thank you to everyone for your patience as we deal with our building closure. This has been a difficult situation for everyone involved in education. There is no place we would rather be than in our buildings with our students.
The USD 243 Administrative team met today to begin working on our Continuous Learning Plan. Several things came from this video meeting:
There will be NO face-to-face contact between staff and students!
Starting Monday, the following teams will meet to continue developing the District CLP:
Daycare - 2nd Grades
3rd - 5th Grades
6th - 8th Grades
9th - 11th Grades
12th Graders
Each team will consist of a district administrator and all teachers in the listed grade levels
We are planning on providing educational services starting Monday March 30th.
We will be meeting with our teachers in small groups on Monday to discuss what this plan will look like. You can expect further updates next week.
We have had some questions pertaining to personal items left at school. We will be putting together a plan to be able to get these items back to students as quickly as possible. More information will be available next week.
More information regarding the Continuous Learning Plan will be announced as soon as possible. Once again, thank you for your patience in these difficult times.
If you have questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact your building administrator! We are all in this together!

Thursday the continuity commission will release guidance to schools regarding continuing to educate and how to work with our families. Our administrators will meet online Friday to continue hatching a plan.
Keep in mind...Safety first!
Do not put yourself in proximity of other people. No face to face. No personal contact. Stay away from other people. This is for your safety, as well as, their safety.
Learning to read and write is secondary, at this time, to your health and the health and safety of others.
Our #1 charge is to provide a safe environment for students and staff. Right now that means stay away from other people as much as possible. Please do not do anything to cause people to come near you or come near each other.
We will, in time, get processes in place for education and meals. For now, be patient!
Sincerely,
Corey Reese, Superintendent

Stay away from places people gather. This is kind of like a full court press, everyone has to be committed to slowing this disease down! If 4 out 5 people cooperate, it will be layups for this virus.

COVID 19 – Updated information for spring activities
Effective Monday, March 16, all spring sports and activities are suspended through Sunday, March 22. This includes cancellation of all practices and competitions for this week. This prohibition is consistent with KSDE and governmental guidance and may be extended, should conditions warrant. Please note spring sports team members are prohibited from club or outside team participation and practice during this period. Not only would such outside participation be contrary to handbook rule, it would be contrary to the very reason activities are cancelled during the time we seek to mitigate potential transfer of the contagion.

Anchor Lodge #224 AF&AM (Ancient Free & Accepted Masons), is a fraternal organization based in the communities of Williamsburg and Waverly.
Freemasonry, at its core, is unlike any other social or fraternal organization. Whereas most organizations help their community as a group, Freemasons start with the individual. We believe that by improving and educating our members, they will become better citizens, which
will naturally lead to them wanting to take an active part in improving themselves and their communities. There is an old adage that says, “Freemasonry makes good men better”.
Freemasonry teaches the importance of helping others, especially those that cannot help themselves. This idea is inculcated at each Masonic meeting, during the opening and closing ceremonies. It is also reinforced when members support charitable projects on their own
or within their Lodge. Charity is not forced upon our members. Instead, they choose to support charity because they believe it’s the right thing to do.
Anchor Lodge #224, desires to be charitable and support our children. A donation towards the nutritional program of our elementary students has been made by the Lodge.
Having adequate nutrition has been proven to improve classroom learning and retention.
Thanks to Anchor Lodge’s support and financial donation, Waverly Elementary students have adequate funding to ensure that ALL students have afternoon milk this school year.
Other ways Anchor Lodge and Kansas Masons can help our young people is through scholarship programs, band camps, essay contests, exemplary teacher & student awards and more. To learn more about any of these programs, please contact a local Mason.
Great things already happening at WGS!
Wishing all USD #243 students, parents, staff, and teachers a great 2019-2020 school year!
