Greetings WUSD # 2 Families. At today's Board Meeting, the WUSD # 2 Governing Board unanimously voted to NO LONGER REQUIRE Masks at WUSD schools. Going forward, masks will be optional....an individual or parental choice.
WUSD # 2 wants to remind everyone that our expectation is to be tolerant and accepting of those that wish to continue to wear masks.
No staff member can require/compel any student or fellow staff member to wear a mask, nor can any supervisor/administrator do the same.
Thank you!
Mr. Evans***
Greetings Vikings! Change to next Thursday's schedule (4/29).
The Pep Assembly will be 10:00-11:00 am to accommodate athletes that have a game that afternoon.
It will be a full day of instruction, WHS will be on an AM Assembly Schedule, rather than the PM one. Thank you!
Greetings WUSD # 2 Families: Late this afternoon, Gov. Ducey rescinded the mask in schools mandate (paragraph 5 of Executive Order 2020-51). Masks are no longer required in AZ schools, HOWEVER, Thursday morning there is a Governing Board meeting to discuss and take possible action on this exact topic.
For this reason, we are asking that ALL staff and students continue to wear masks until at least mid day Thursday (4/22), in which the district will put out further info/guidance after the Board Meeting.
Mr. Evans-
Greetings Vikings. Next week (4/26-4/29) is Spring Spirit Week
Monday - Old People Day (I wonder what our kids think "old" is?!)
Tuesday - Character Day with your Squad (for us old people, that means our "crew")
Wednesday - Red Carpet Day
Thursday - Extreme Black and Orange Day
Thursday - Pep Assembly in the Gym (1:35-2:35)
CORRECTION: 4/14*, 4/15*, and 4/22. Thank you! Our apologies!!
Greetings Viking Families: Arizona testing has been happening this month with the new AzM2 (formerly AzMerit), in Reading, Writing, Math, & Science.
It has created disparities in lost instructional time, so we are going to a "flipped schedule" for 4/13, 4/14, and 4/22.
This means on those 3 days, our schedule will look like this:
Periods 4, 5, and 6, then lunch, then periods 1, 2, 3. Times do NOT change. It is still regular, full days of school (8:00-3:35).
Thank you!
Greetings Viking Families:

Hydrate your brain with water, avoid excessive caffeine
Eat a healthy breakfast
Bring heathy snacks
Test like a Viking!
Please see the attached testing schedule: https://5il.co/r8jc
These tests are important for your child's school (letter grade, extra funding) and important for your child (to measure content mastery, college acceptance). We wish everyone a healthy and happy testing season!
