Calling all Drama Folk! Things may look a little different this year, but we are excited to announce that we are still a go for Drama Club. We will be having an informational meeting after school this coming Monday, April 12th, from 1:30-2:00. If your child is in 5th-8th grade and is interested in having a part in the play with a speaking roll then this meeting is for them! Please make sure that they have transportation home after the meeting is over at 2pm. If for some reason your child is unable to make the meeting on Monday, please have them see Miss Kron or Mrs. Athemnah as soon as possible. If your child is a remote learner and would like to try out they are more than welcome to! They will have to come to the in person meeting on Monday and be able to come to in person practices if they do get a role. We can't wait to get started!

District 50 Families, Spring is a time for growth and change. April also is a time to recognize Child Abuse Awareness and Autism Acceptance. Feel free to join in on the growth by viewing the interactive modules and information about both of these important topics to continue growing individually and as a community. * Thank you to our Center for Prevention of Abuse partners that assist with these resources and presentations throughout our school year.

Dear District 50 Families, Please see the information below about student attendance guidelines for WCHS home football games to help in partnering with the high school for a positive football season experience. The spring 2021 football season has started, and the first home varsity football game is this Friday. Keeping our players and spectators as safe as possible is very important, so we have put together some guidelines for student fans attending a game in-person. Fans can watch the game from home on March 26 by visiting ClutchSportsIL.com or linking to their Clutch Sports YouTube channel. - Only those with a ticket obtained from the high school in advance may attend varsity home football games due to limited capacity. There will be NO tickets available at the gate. - Non-WCHS students who are under the age of 18 must have an adult accompany them into the game and remain with them in the stands. Students will not be allowed to leave the stands and congregate in other areas of the stadium during this football season. - WCHS high school students with a school ID will be allowed to attend the game without an accompanying adult. We appreciate the excitement of our younger fans in the community, and it is very important that they are supervised by an adult while attending games. Thank you for supporting WCHS, and we look forward to seeing some of our future Panthers. Sincerely, Kyle Freeman Superintendent of WCHS District #308
