Good morning! Last night, an anonymous post was published on social media referencing a shooting that would take place at tonight's football game. Law enforcement was contacted first thing this morning and they responded immediately. Several individuals were questioned during the course of the investigation. Neither the school district nor law enforcement believe this to be a credible threat, but we feel we must treat it as one. There will be an increased presence from local and county law enforcement at tonight's game. Many thanks to Brandon Marquardt for responding to this incident so quickly. Also, thank you to the students who brought this to our attention. You did the right thing, and we greatly appreciate it!
More parachute fun in Ms. Good’s class.

PK-12 Parents and Students in Wapello CSD, the following information is coming as the result of recent aerosol study done at a National Level and with the NFHS (National Federation of High School Sports and the College Band Directors Association. The study concluded that while Singing and Playing Instruments, the risk of aerosol spread of COVID-19 is increased compared to normal speaking. Music class is not all singing, but when we do sing, we will use our masks/face shields, K-12. I know this is not easy and we will all approach it as positively as possible.
As a result, the following is for all levels of the Performing Arts PK-12:
Masks will be required while Singing, Playing instruments while indoors.
Masks will be provided, or you can provide your own.
They will only be required while singing, playing, performing.
If you have any questions, please contact the Superintendent, the Building Principals, or the Music Department.

July 24, 2020 update:
It's been a while since I've sent out an update, so here are some of the latest developments as we prepare for school in the fall. ***The first student day will be August 24th. ***We are not planning a back to school night this year. Kids can bring their supplies on the first day of school. If you would prefer to bring supplies ahead of time, please contact the elementary or high school and make arrangements. ***There will be an orientation for 6th graders. More information on that to come. ***The governor has relaxed the requirements for people who want to be substitute teachers. Anyone with a two-year degree and who has completed the substitute authorization course through the AEA can serve as a substitute teacher. I will send out the link to the course in a separate message. ***Remember that our reopening matrix is posted on our website. ***The IHSAA, just this afternoon, released some preliminary information on football. The first two weeks of competition appear to be optional. Schools can schedule games if they wish. The rest of the season will be as normal. All teams will participate in postseason play. More information is coming next week. We haven't heard anything about other fall sports. Face coverings continue to be a controversial topic for many people. We continue to follow the recommendation of local public health, which is to allow face coverings, but not to require them. We will continue to follow the recommendations and guidelines put forth by public health.***As always, email me or call me if you have any questions. mike.peterson@wapellocsd.org or 319-523-3641.
