During this time with no in person competitions the Yates Center FFA competed in an online quiz bowl competition yesterday and finished in third place in the state of Kansas category. Aidan Yoho placed third with Hannah Jones placing tenth. Also on the team were Trent Burton and Erin Shepard. In the advisors category Mr. McGee finished in seven place and the team of advisors from Yates Center, which included our awesome FACS teacher Mrs. Taylor and Mr. McGees family won the state competition. #blueandgold

Woodson 366 Update April 1, 2020 Student Assignments The buildings are hearing some good things with online assignments. In most cases, things appear to be going well. If you’re having difficulties, please let us know. Food Service The food service crew made up of the food service department, and staff volunteers bagged up 500 meals for today. We have appreciated all the community support we are receiving. For now, we look to continue this program to May 21, 2020. At that time, we will survey the landscape to determine what the state and the federal government will allow.

A message from Mrs. Panko It’s so good to see these faces in the morning. Today was a special class meeting celebrating Jaylynn’s birthday by singing and having a toast.

Due to the law enforcement situation in and around Neosho Falls, meals for today can not be delivered. On Tuesday, the Monday meals and Tuesday meals will be delivered. Sorry about this!

Due to law enforcement issues. Meals to the Neosho Falls area will delayed.

Neosho Falls meals will be delivered later due to unforeseen circumstances. This was advised by law enforcement.

Meals are out and ready for pick up! Remember food is an essential. We are ready to serve our kids.

A message from NCCC regarding online courses As you know, NCCC is teaching online for the remainder of the semester. Instructors are communicating with students through their NCCC email accounts. I am concerned that our high school students are not regularly checking their NCCC email. If at all possible, would you send a notice out to your students who are taking courses through NCCC stressing the importance of checking their NCCC emails regularly? If students do not know how to do this, please have them contact one of the individuals listed below. • Students attending NCCC courses in Allen, Woodson, or Neosho counties contact Karah Kellogg, kkellogg@neosho.edu • Anyone may contact Amy Smith, administrative assistant, asmith@neosho.edu • Students can reach their instructors at their email addresses (first initial, last name @neosho.edu) Thank you for helping us ensure good communication between instructors and students.

There have been some questions regarding the district feeding program as to whether it is still in effect. The answer is YES! Meals will be delivered until the official last day of school unless we are ordered not to. Under the Governor's order, we can still feed our students.

A much needed THANK YOU to OUR AMAZING Food Service Ladies & OUR Wonderful Drivers for the meals this week! Our Woodson County Kids are Loving them. This week we put together 2,196 bags so that is 4,392 meals! That is more than 94% of our students!

The continuous learning plan can be found on the website by clicking the menu button. The continuous learning plan section is a the top of the menu. Click on student assignments and this will take to all grade level assignment.

Elem. & MS Parents~ If you haven't picked up your student's belongings please come in today!! We are here until 3:00. Call the office if you need to make other arrangements!

District Update March 27, 2020 Continuous Learning Plan The continuous learning plan is now activated on the district website. With my little experience with the link, it appears to work best from a computer. If you are using an iPhone, you will need to hold your finger on the link for a second or two, and then open the page. I can’t tell you how an android phone works since I haven’t seen it operate. If you have problems with the page, please let us know. This page was created by Mrs. Patty Dick, with input from other Woodson teachers. Our instructional staff continues to amaze me as to what they will do to help the students and parents of the Woodson School District! NCCC CTE On-Campus Courses NCCC has canceled the two technical courses being taught at the high school. Students in these classes will receive the grade they had at the time of the school closure from the district. As for the NCCC grade, it will be recorded as incomplete. Arrangements to complete the college portion of the courses will be addressed through NCCC. Food Service If you would, please make sure there are no dogs running loose when meals are delivered on the bus routes. If you do have dogs running loose, these deliveries won’t be made unless someone comes to the vehicle to pick up the meals. As far as meals, the district delivered another record high on Thursday. The foodservice and transportation staff delivered 476 meals! The work of these two departments and the volunteer work of the teachers and classified staff in bagging the meals has been impressive! I have also been told there might be a surprise treat in the bag today?

We love getting these photos from our drivers who are seeing our kids and their smiles. Feeding Woodson County Kids! Today 471 bags so 942 meals!

District Update March 26, 2020 Continuous Learning Plan The continuous learning plan that can be found on the district website will be activated sometime on Friday. When the site activated, a notification will be sent. Hopefully, this site will allow you to find assignments and activities for you, students. As always, it is your decision to how much or how little you determine your student needs to do. Food Service Another day of success in the foodservice area. On Wednesday, the foodservice department delivered 460 bags or delivered 920 meals to the children of the school district. To put that in perspective, if everyone was a student in the Woodson School District, the foodservice staff would have provided meals to 96% of our students! The current district food service program is open to any child in the district age 1-18, whether they are enrolled in the district or not. Should you know of some families hosting children from another school district or from out-of-state, let them know about this food resource. To add students to the out-of-town deliveries, email sdavis@usd336.net. Personal Items The elementary will send out a notice to when and how personal items may be picked up. I want to commend the work of the custodial staff and those who volunteered to help them make a very quick change in how students, at the high school, would pick up their belonging. It was impressive seeing and hearing how everyone helped one another!
