2nd grade students at Widmyer will be participating in a step up day tomorrow, May 31st. They will be traveling by bus to Warm Springs Intermediate School where they will tour the facility and see classrooms for next year. The 2nd grade students will be leaving Widmyer at approximately 12:30 and will return by the end of the day.
At approximately 11:15 am this morning, Widmyer staff was made aware of a domestic concern via phone. There were no threats made, and no students were in danger. However, out of an abundance of caution, Widmyer entered a modified lock down to help ensure the safety of students and staff. Law enforcement did assist with the concern as an exercise of caution. We resumed normal activities at approximately 11:57 am. Widmyer faculty and staff value the safety of your children. We appreciate your patience and support in these matters.
Tomorrow is our annual water and field day. We will be holding the event rain or shine. Because many of the activities are being moved inside, the event is closed to the public. Please make sure that you send a complete change of clothes, including shoes and underwear, with your child in a plastic bag. Also, send a filled water bottle with your child.
As as reminder there is no school on Monday, May 30th for Memorial Day and the last day of school for students is Wednesday, June 1st.
