SUMMER DEVICE TAKE HOME PLANS
Great News! Wawasee students will be keeping their devices over the summer months. Our goal is to encourage and facilitate continuous learning throughout the summer. Partnering with Community Libraries: Wawasee is partnering with local community libraries to inform students how to obtain access to eBooks for summer reading. Each Wawasee student is eligible for a free Evergreen card. Representatives from community libraries will work with schools to help students understand how to obtain a library card and check out eBooks through the community library systems. Wawasee school library eBooks will also be available for check out over the summer months. Summer Weekly School Visit Times: To help support the summer take home program, there will be an open evening, weekly at each community’s school library. In Syracuse, it will be at Wawasee High School. Parents and/or their students will be able to come to any of the open sites to check out books and get help with their computer devices or have them repaired if necessary. A schedule for each school will be posted on each school's website and our corporation’s website. Paid Insurance: The Wawasee Community School Corporation will be providing insurance for all devices beginning the month of June. If parents are concerned about having the devices at home this summer, they can contact their building principal during regular school hours. Relocation: For students who are leaving our school district during the summer, they must return the device, charger, and case to the WCSC Central Office or Wawasee High School Technology Department. Failure to return a device will result in turning over the full amount of the device and case to collections and/or small claims. Wawasee Community Schools is excited to help provide this opportunity for our students and look forward to this new transition in education! If you have questions, please feel free to contact your school office or Dee Blair, Technology Secretary, at 574-457-3147, ext. 2924 or dblair@wawasee.k12.in.us NOTICE TO FUTURE 4th, 5th AND 6th GRADE PARENTS: We are collecting the 4th and 5th grade ASUS Flip books at the end of the year and replacing them with Dell Chromebooks for next year. The new Dell’s will be distributed as soon as the new cases arrive in June. Third grade students will be turning in their iPads and receiving the returned chromebooks from this year’s seniors. Future 5th and 6th grade students will be able to pick up their new computers from the high school tech office when they are ready to be distributed in June.

WCSC Community Meetings
Dear Wawasee Community School Corporation parents of middle school students, You spoke and we listened! A year ago the Wawasee School Board brought in a team that interviewed over 1000 of our students, staff members, parents and community members. You told us what was going well with our school district, along with suggestions for our future together. While there was a high level of satisfaction with our Wawasee schools, several areas needed addressed. 1. Technology 2. Staff Professional Development 3. Communication 4. Providing quality and equal educational opportunities for both Milford and Wawasee Middle School students. We feel that Wawasee is improving with technology with 1-to-1 computer implementation this year, with staff development through grants and Smart Starts to assist our employees, and with communication channels that include more efforts and technology to connect school to home. Wawasee is not where we want to be in these improvement areas, but we are getting better, just like we expect of students every day. MIddle school recommendations from last year's study centered on curriculum offerings, class sizes, grade levels, and transition to Wawasee High School. As we move forward with our middle schools, we'd like your input. Two evenings have been set aside to give you an opportunity to hear a few ideas that are being proposed for middle school improvement and to offer your thoughts on making middle school an even better learning experience for young adolescents. Days, Times and Locations for the meetings are: Monday, February 20 - Milford School - 6:30-8:00 pm in the Cafeteria Monday, February 27 - Wawasee Middle School - 6:30-8:00 pm in the Lecture Room |
