Delivering Meals out to Woodson County Kids. They are so excited about seeing our Delivery Team! Stay Healthy Kids!
District Update
March 25, 2020
Student Assignments
• The district will be using two methods to deliver continuous learning to our students. The first being online learning, which will be the easiest for most of the staff to provide. Most lessons will work through programs our students already know and use daily. Contact with the student’s teachers will also be more accessible.
For those receiving packets, we will attempt to mail these out on Friday’s. When you receive them is anyone’s guess. If you would, put some time aside during the day to allow your students to complete the work.
The continuous learning plan developed by the instructional staff is our attempt to allow students to still progress in their education. As with anything the district does to provide educational opportunities, the role of the parent is the essential factor in the learning process. What you can do to help out the teachers with these assignments would be appreciated.
Please have your students check their emails. We have teachers trying to contact them to see what we can do for them and just to check in to see how they are doing.
NCCC Classes
• The district has two NCCC Career and Technical courses. As far as the district is concerned, we do not require these courses to be completed for our records. NCCC has asked the instructors to complete the classes since the class size is below the ten-person requirement to meet. If these courses aren’t finished, students will receive an incomplete for the semester from NCCC. I am going to leave the decision of completing the coursework up to the parents. Again, as far as high school credit, the district has what it needs to award the student’s grades.
Website Update
• Plans are to activate the district learning plan link sometime on Friday. This site will allow you to see the assignments for the week of all teachers. Hopefully, there won’t be any problems accessing this site. If you do run into trouble finding what you need, please let us know.
Food Service
• After two days of serving meals, the district has delivered over 800 bags of food. These bags include breakfast and lunch for a total of 1,600 meals being served. The number of meals couldn’t be accomplished without the work of the foodservice staff and a variety of classified and certified help with the bagging of the meals. If there are still rural children and students, we aren’t serving email sdavis@usd366.net where we can get them added to our deliveries. The Yates Center students can pick up meals at the high school from 11 am to noon. Ages of the children and students who can receive meals are 1-18 years old.
County/State Shelter in Place
• Should there be a shelter in place order made for Woodson County of the State, we will post this, along with what it means to deliver educational support to our students. At the current time, there has been no such order placed, but should there be, we will do what we can to support the students of the Woodson School District.
High school students: please enter the building by the office. All your personal items have been bagged up for you. If you need to check out a chrome book please see Angie in the office. Students will not go into the building past the office.
High School Students: When you start coming in to pick up personal items please: 1) Keep social distance 2) Please return all books 3) Return spring sports uniforms 4) Chrome Books may be checked out for the rest of the school year.
Pickup times for Elementary & Middle School Student personal belongings will be this Thursday & Friday between the hours of 8:00 am & 3:00 pm. If you need a technology device this would also be the time for that as well as any medications or PE clothes. No more than 4 students will be allowed in the building at one time.
Social Distancing will be maintained during this time. We will have hand sanitizer available at the entrance doors.
The district' continuous learning plan will not be activated until Friday. Teachers are just beginning to develop their plans and assignments for next week. The district will send notice when the site is opened. Thanks!

Woodson 366 Update
Teachers reported back to work today to begin developing lessons for students. For the teachers, this week is a planning and preparation week. The preparation will include the development of both virtual or packet learning. Packet learning can either be emailed or delivered through the US mail. The delivery method will be determined through teacher contact with parents and students. All lessons will be posted online on the district website and should be available on the district mobile app. All assignments should be in place on Friday for the week of March 30th. Future weekly lessons will be posted by Friday for the next week.
The district is willing to send home school devices for your students. If devices are needed in your homes, please contact the building your student attends to arrange to pick up. Parents, if you could update your phone numbers and email addresses, this would be much appreciated.
As with anything new, and only having a week to accomplish this, there will be issues arise. If something isn’t working correctly, please let the buildings know. They will do their best to see that a solution is resolved.
A big thank you goes out to all of those involved in the preparation and delivery of meals on Monday. This group provided 394 meals to the students of the school district! After the first day, this group has re-evaluated the process and have come up with ideas to streamline the process to help in the preparation and delivery process. Please remember, the program is open to all children ages 1-18. The Yates Center drive-through is open from 11-noon Monday through Friday, located in the southwest parking lot of the high school.

The district feeding program will begin on Monday, March 23rd, bus route delivers will depart at 10 am. Drive through pickup/walk up delivery will be open from 11 am through noon at the high school. Children and students ages 1-18 are eligible for these free meals. If special arrangements are needed, please email Shelly Davis (sdavis@usd366.net).
Beginning Monday, March 23rd, the district will start providing meals to any child ages 1-18 in the school district. If you are on a bus route, these meals will be delivered to you. If you have children, not in school who meet the qualification, please notify both Shelly Davis (sdavis@usd366.net) and John Rice (jrice@usd366.net) regarding additional meals needed. Each sack will include lunch for the day and breakfast for the next day. The routes are scheduled to depart at 10 am each day, Monday through Friday. We would ask if you don’t want this service that you contact both Mrs. Davis and Mr. Rice and that there be someone at home since we must give them to an individual. Also, if someone could come to the vehicle to grab the sacks, this would help us in delivering the meals in a more timely manner.
If you live in Yates Center, there will be a drive-through located at the high school that you can go through to receive the meals. The drive-through will be from 11 am-12 pm.
If you know of any families in the district who have children, not in school, and who live in the country, please let Mrs. Davis and Mr. Rice know. If there are families, you know, in Yates Center who have children, but they aren’t in school, please let them know of this program.
As with anything new, we do expect we will have glitches in this system and will do all we can do to fix them as fast as we can. If we miss someone on the routes, please let us know where we can adjust the routes.
The district staff will be meeting next week to develop our continuous learning plan. The details will more likely be released next Friday, March 27th. Please understand the current situation is very fluid and changing hourly. We will do what we can to adjust to any changes that come our way.
To stay abreast of current events in the school district, we highly encourage all patrons to follow the district website at https://www.usd366.net/ and to download the district app, Woodson USD 366, at the app store.
