    • Greetings Gauchos,
      Tomorrow, Monday, is our scheduled COVID testing day. We will conduct COVID testing from 8am-4pm in the large gym.

      Students will go to testing with their classes beginning in Block 1. All students who want to get tested must bring their medical ID card and the COVID testing that is signed by a parent. If a student is not on campus when their class went to testing, students can walk in alone to get tested.

      Please remember that for your safety and the safety of others, wear your mask at all times. As we walked through classrooms last week, so many of our teachers and students were doing a remarkable job with their masks.

      Thank you all for your support as we adjust to our new normal.

      We know it has been a long year as we have transitioned to in-person instruction after two years of distance learning, and our students and staff are eager for the summer break. I’d like to encourage everyone in our school communities to finish the year strong and on a high note.

    • Statement from Dr. Hurst on Elementary School Shooting in Texas

      We are devastated by the news about the elementary school shooting in Texas and the senseless loss of life. As educators, staff and families who make up our learning community, it is difficult to comprehend how something like this can happen.

    • Message from the Superintendent: Mask Update 05/24/22

      As we reach the last few weeks of the school year, I’d like to share an update with you about our mask policy. We will continue to follow the guidance from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and strongly recommend all students and staff wear a mask while at school or work. Wearing a mask is part of the district’s COVID-19 mitigation strategy, and masks should be made available in every WCCUSD classroom.
