Students and Parents,
On Tuesday, November 17th the Wheaton R-III Board of Education adopted a mask mandate in response to Governor Parson’s modified quarantine plan. This mandate will be implemented beginning Monday, November 30th. Below you will find the requirements that must be met to follow the modified quarantine plan. There are a few items we would like to highlight:
-In order to be eligible for modified quarantine, both the person who tests positive for COVID-19 and the person in close contact (within 6 feet) with the positive case must be wearing an approved mask properly (gaiter style masks and other single-ply masks must be doubled to qualify)
-The modified quarantine pertains only to the school day (students under modified quarantine cannot participate in extracurricular activities)
-This will require students and staff members to wear masks more frequently, including in classrooms where students cannot be 6 feet apart

Bulldog Families,
This morning Governor Parson along with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education announced the following new updates for determining close contacts to a positive COVID-19 individual.
Under the updated guidance, proper mask wearing may now prevent individuals from being identified as close contacts in K-12 schools that have implemented a mask mandate. This means that if both individuals at school – the person diagnosed with COVID-19 and the person exposed to the positive case – have masks on and are wearing them correctly, the individual exposed does not need to quarantine.
See the updated guidance here: https://dese.mo.gov/sites/default/files/COVID-MO-K12-Reopening-Guidance.pdf
We will be working with local health departments to determine the best way to implement these new guidelines and will be sharing more soon. Please make sure your student(s) continue to come to school with their mask. We want to keep all students and staff safe and healthy and in school. Please review the scenarios below.

Due to our wellness break and a continued effort to keep our students and staff safe, we are sad to announce our annual Veterans Day assembly will be cancelled this year. We appreciate our veterans so much and look forward to next year! We do have a small token of our appreciation for veterans. In the weeks to come, we will be reaching out to those who have attended our assembly in the past to schedule a pickup time.
Junior High and High School Students: Please check your email for a message from Mr. Willis regarding the break and your expectations! We will be following a shortened class period schedule!
During this virtual learning period, free lunch and breakfast will be available to families beginning Nov 2 and continue through November 10. These meals may be picked up from 11:00- noon each day at the elementary front entrance.
