March 13, 2020
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Today, Governor Wolf mandated the closing of all Pennsylvania schools for two weeks. As such, Williamsburg Community School District will be closed from Monday, March 16, 2020 to Friday, March 27, 2020. We have been monitoring the progress of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) over the past few weeks and have been following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC), PA Department of Health and other county agencies. We will continue to monitor the progress of the coronavirus. You will be notified immediately if it is determined that school must close longer than the two week period.
During this time, all school building activities, including preschool, athletics, extracurricular activities, health services, and all other events are suspended.
A complete and extensive disinfection and maintenance of our buildings will be done during this closure.
We will continue to monitor the situation throughout the week(s) and will provide an update as to our status moving forward as soon as we have that information.
Sincerely,
Lisa Murgas
Superintendent

SCHOOL DELAYS, CLOSINGS AND NOTIFICATIONS……
Please be reminded that the Williamsburg Community School District will be utilizing the One Call Now communication system to notify families of school delays and closings. The communication system will also be used to notify families of other notifications including emergencies and attendance. Notifications will be sent to the phone numbers you have registered with One Call Now from the information that was sent home at the beginning of the year. If you did not register any phone numbers, a notification will be sent to the primary phone number on file. It is extremely important to notify either the elementary or high school office any time you have a change in phone number. If you did not register any phone numbers with One Call Now and would like to, please call the school office.
Also, if you choose, you can receive text alerts in addition to phone calls. If you would like to receive text alerts, simply text “alert” to the number 22300. Once initiated, you will receive a text message reply from One Call Now. It may state, “message and data rates may apply.” If you have unlimited text messaging on your cellular plan, this should not apply. If you have limited text messaging, rates may apply. Please verify with your cellular plan carrier before setting up text alerts.
One Call Now notifications will come from the school’s phone number, 832-2125. If you do not answer the call, the notification will go to voicemail.
A test notification call was made on Thursday, November 17th. If you did not receive a test call, please notify the school office. Test calls will continue over the next week to ensure families are receiving notifications.
If you would like to have any A la Carte restrictions placed on your child's account, please contact Food Services Director, Pam Sharp.
