A message from your school nurse... Thank you for continuing to complete the Daily Health Screening each morning prior to the start of school for your child. The Daily Health Screening is an important tool in keeping our students and staff safe. We would like remind parents to please notify the school nurse in the event your child tests positive for COVID-19. Early notification is important to notify close contacts in a timely manner to begin the required period. Thank you for your ongoing support in following the safety guidelines.

Good afternoon Willard Families! This is a reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, March 3rd will be a regular remote day for our students. We understand that many of you may not have your devices, but please do the best you can to participate or complete assignments. Thank you!
