Message from Nurse Kelli
I would like to encourage families with students in 6th grade and older to check with their healthcare provider to see if it is time for a Pertussis/Tetanus booster immunization. A nearby school district was recently affected by an outbreak of Pertussis (Whooping Cough). For more information about Pertussis please see this fact sheet.
Asbestos Abatement Notice
The Williamsburg Community School will begin an asbestos abatement project on
April 2 which includes removing the floor tile in the auditorium, the chemistry
hood, and the eve overhang along the high school office. There will be
additional abatement of floor tile in three classrooms and storage
areas in June when students are gone for the summer. The project will be
completed by Robinson Brothers, Waunakee, WI. Terracon developed the project
specifications and will monitor the project for compliance and air quality. The
plans and specifications are available upon request at the
superintendent’s office or by calling Eric Harris, Terracon.
Williamsburg High School Parking Lot Changes - Beginning Monday, April 2, 2012
Beginning April 2, 2012 Walnut Street and part of the high school parking lot will be blocked off near the existing drive-ways.
Buses will park in the existing parking lot to drop off students.
Parking spaces will be blocked off to allow buses for drop-off.
Parents dropping off their students will be asked to drop off their child along the sidewalk on State Street instead of entering the parking lot.
Williamsburg Community School District is proud to announce they are saving register tapes for educational equipment. Register tapes can be collected from “Big G” stores in Marengo and redeemed toward valuable educational equipment such as computer, science, band or PE equipment and more. Register tapes can be collected until March 31, 2012. You may drop off register tapes at Mary Welsh Elementary or Williamsburg Jr/Sr. High School. Please contact Lynell O’Connor at the high school if you have any other questions.

Learn
a new language, experience a different culture. Host an exchange student.
The Booster Club has stadium chairs available as well as a limited selection of coats. Please contact Julie Heitshusen for more information.
The district has subscribed to AlertNow, a messaging system which will make a phone call and send an email to students/parents and staff in the event of a weather related cancellation. A weather related late start or cancellation message will typically go to just the primary phone number listed in PowerSchool. If we have an early dismissal or some other type of emergency, we will use the emergency response which calls all the phone numbers listed for a student, which may include both parents' cell phone numbers, parents' work numbers, etc. The program does not include sending text messages.
