Reopening Plan

Our plan to safely re-open and return to school is primarily focused upon identifying and mitigating exposures to COVID-19.  The WCS school board, led by the superintendent, the WCS administrative team, and staff have collaborated with appropriate stakeholders to focus on the immediate needs to prepare for school operations under the current pandemic.

As we move forward together, we are thankful for our community’s continued support as we keep our student’s health and safety in mind.
 

Elkhart County Parent Letter

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we plan for the safe reopening of your schools. The Elkhart County public school superintendents have been meeting weekly with Elkhart County Health Department, the Elkhart County Commissioners and the mayors of Elkhart, Goshen, and Nappanee as we prepare for the 2020-2021 school year.
 
As we welcome your children back to our classrooms, we want to share important information about these reopening procedures with you.
