Throwback Thursday from Wapello Elementary! Today's memories finish up the 2011-12 Tommyhawk! #WeAreWapello #WapelloTribePride

Throwback Thursday!! Here are today's memories from the 2008 WHS Tomahawk! #WeAreWapello #WapelloTribePride

April 15, 2020 Update: Snow. On April 15th. That is wrong on so many levels. Governor Reynolds, in today's press conference, talked quite a bit about how different people have stepped up to provide help and services for people in need right now. As I was listening, all I could think was, "I sure hope no one is surprised by this." When there is a need, the people in Louisa county have always stepped up and done what needed to be done. As this pandemic drags on, I'm sure nerves are starting to fray and people are finding themselves on edge. I'm not a mental health expert, but the articles I have read tell me this is a normal response to prolonged trauma. Everyone is dealing with this in their own way, and there is no right way. May we all remember to be patient and understanding with each other. We're all sick of hearing about mitigation strategies. But, they're still important. So... Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Wash your hands. Stay at home. Even if you are not sick. Stay at home. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands. #wearewapello #wapellotribepride

Wednesday's read aloud star is Mrs. Wagner! Enjoy her story about Elmer. #wearewapello #wapellotribepride https://youtu.be/I0r-21gMC7Y

Parents and students: please be reminded that both elementary and secondary teachers are hosting zoom sessions for WCSD students! Each day of the week has a full lineup of teachers that would LOVE to interact with students. Please encourage your child to log on if possible! Log in information has been emailed to the parents of elementary students and to all 6th -12th grade students. Thank you to the many students that have joined us so far... we would love to see those numbers climb each day! #wearewapello. #wapellotribepride

April 14, 2020 Update: Happy Tuesday, everyone! The sun is shining and the temperature is perfect. Okay, most people would probably say it's a little chilly, but I like it! Governor Reynolds had no new school information in her press conference today. We anticipate an announcement regarding schools at some point this week. Governor Reynolds did spend quite a bit of time talking about the surge in positive COVID-19 cases in Louisa county. I encourage everyone to keep all of the employees of Tyson Foods in your thoughts and prayers. In the immortal words of Troy, Gabriella, and the rest of the cast of High School Musical, "We're All In This Together." For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, search for the song on YouTube. Bonus points if you then post a video recreating the group dance. In all seriousness, please follow the guidelines that have been put forth: Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Wash your hands. Stay home. Not just if you're sick. Stay home. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing if you have to go out. Wash your hands. #wearewapello #wapellotribepride

Today's read aloud is by Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Anderson. Enjoy! #wearewapello #wapellotribepride https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYCJHRAdAMA&feature=youtu.be

April 13, 2020 Update: Happy day after Easter, everyone! I hope you were able to have a good weekend, in spite of the rain and the inability to travel to see family. We expect Governor Reynolds to make an announcement about schools later this week. No, I don't know what that announcement will be. Remember that Wapello food pickup is from 10:00-11:00 on Monday and Wednesday. This is open to anyone age 0-18, whether you go to school in Wapello or not. As we enter day 4,398 of COVID-19, please remember to follow the guidelines: Wash your hands. Cover your cough or sneeze. Wash your hands. Stay home if you are sick. Wash your hands. Stay home even if you are well, unless it is an "essential" trip. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands. #wearewapello #wapellotribepride

April 9, 2020 Update: Nothing new from the Governor today regarding school closure. I want to thank all of the teachers for taking on the challenging on connecting with kids online. This is a new world for most of us, and I truly appreciate all of you for taking a risk and jumping into something new. I have heard many, many positive comments from parents. Thank you for helping take care of the kids. "I'll take 'Phrases I'm Tired of Hearing' for $500, Alex." What is... Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Wash your hands. Stay home if you are sick.
