Washington District 50 Schools

Due to the rain, today’s baseball game has been cancelled.

Softball vs Washington Central tomorrow has been cancelled. BASEBALL WILL STILL PLAY.

REMINDER TO PARENTS AND FAMILIES... Tomorrow (Friday, September 11th) will be a Remote Learning Day, in which ALL students will learn from home. In addition, parents should plan for the remaining Fridays through January 8th to be Remote Learning Days, as well. We will communicate our final decision regarding that on Wednesday, September 16th. During Remote Learning Fridays, teachers will provide lessons for on-site learners to complete at home, extra time will be spent connecting with our full-time remote learners, and additional cleaning will be performed at both schools. As soon as masks are no longer required to be worn at school, our plan is to return to our regular schedules at John L. Hensey and Beverly Manor Schools with full day student attendance, five days per week.

Parents- Friday is a remote learning day for ALL D50 students. Your child(ren) will be bringing work home with them tomorrow to complete for Friday. They will not be taking home their chromebooks this week.

District 50 Families, We have heard from families about receiving emails from Skyward and where an email may be located. Here are a few things to check so you will consistently receive Skyward messages: 1. Click My Messages 2. Make sure you have an updated email address listed in Skyward. 3. Click the Settings Icon on the right side under the purple "My Messages" bar (next to the Hidden Messages icon). 4. Scroll through the list and select the messages you want emails for or select "Subscribe to All Emails" 5. Just a note that if you "Subscribe to All Emails" this will help you receive great info such as missing assignments, low or high score alerts/tests, and more. All you need to do is choose the settings you want emails for. We hope this helps. Yours truly, District 50 Wildcats
