We want to remind our students and families that Monday, March 13 will be a regular day of school.
Originally, this day was planned as a teacher professional development day. However, we are now using it to make up for a recent snow day.
Good evening WUSD Families,
This evenings snow totals continue to be heavy as predicted, WUSD is going to plan for a 2 hour AM delay tomorrow, March 10th. Morning bus pick up will be two hours later than normal.
AM 4K will be cancelled. PM 4K will run as scheduled.

The WUSD School Board approved the 2023-24 Calendar on Monday night. It is now available on the District website: https://whitewaterusdwi.sites.thrillshare.com/documents/school-year-calendars/2023-24-calendar/422981
CHANGE TO ACADEMIC CALENDAR: The WUSD School Board approved modifying the current academic calendar to make Monday, March 13, a regular day of school for students.
The day was originally planned as a teacher professional development day, but will now be used to make up for last week’s snow day. This will prevent us from needing to add another day to the end of the school year in June.
We appreciate the understanding and flexibility of our families as we make this change.
REMINDER: No School tomorrow, Friday, February 24, for teacher professional development. We’ll see our students again on Monday!
Due to the current road conditions Whitewater Unified Schools will be closed for today, Thursday, February 23, 2023.

We will work to reschedule parent/teacher conferences and update families with this plan soon.
Best,
Dr. Caroline Pate-Hefty
