This is David Hitt, principal at Waycross Middle with another very important announcement. Based on more confirmed students with COVID this afternoon, we have made the decision to close Waycross Middle School for the remainder of this week. We will re-evaluate our situation on Friday and determine whether it will be safe to open School on Monday or if we need to extend the closure into the following week. We will make a call out by noon on Friday to inform you of our decision for the following week.
We will be contacting parents of students that have been in direct contact with those students who have tested positive later this afternoon. If you do not receive a call, know that your student has not been in direct contact and they are not quarantined.
Again, Waycross Middle will be closed to all students for the remainder of this week and possibly into next week. We will make a decision this Friday concerning next week and announce our decision by noon on Friday.
Teachers will be posting instruction and work in Google Classroom starting at 11:30 tomorrow and then at 9:00 daily until we re-open. If you do not have WiFi in your home, we will have paper work packets available in the front office for your students.
Again, thank you for your continued support and please stay safe.
