Washington District 50 Schools

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

Beverly Manor students who met our academic and behavior goals for the 3rd quarter were able to participate in a Virtual Escape Room incentive on Thursday. You can see the intense focus as they battle for beating the other two classes in their grade level and then trying to be the quickest escape time in the building. Our winners will be announced on Monday for the 1st (Tik Tok with Mr. Sharp), 2nd (Pie in Mr. Sharp's face), and 3rd (Bonus Gym Time) prizes....Maybe Mr. Maxwell will claim the fastest time! :)

We are writing to follow-up with parents regarding the fire alarm at John L. Hensey School that occurred yesterday at approximately 1:40 p.m. Our staff and students did a great job, as they promptly evacuated the building and reported to their designated evacuation sites. Firefighters checked the building and gave the “all clear” to re-enter around 2:00 p.m. We sent a push notification to alert parents and staff regarding the matter. The school's alarm panel indicated a sensor near the Gym ductwork had activated; but no risks were found by the fire department. Our electrician identified that a sensor had malfunctioned. The sensor was replaced yesterday after school and the fire alarm system was reset.

The Beverly Manor staff is together through it all!

Attention John L. Hensey Families, Due to a recent fire alarm at John L. Hensey, the students were safely evacuated from the school grounds and the fire department reported on scene to examine the alarm. As soon as administrators are given the all clear by the fire department, students will reenter and dismissal will resume. Please be aware that buses may be delayed several minutes.

GBB tryouts will be held Thursday, March 11 from 4:00-5:30. Parents are also asked to attend a parent meeting at 4:00pm as well. Please contact Coach O'Laughlin with any questions.
