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.

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.

5th grade connected with a class from Massachusetts on Friday for a mystery Skype. YC 5th graders were able to use geography skills and maps to find the other school’s location first. Great job!
KSDE has recommended that all school districts close schools the week of March 16th. Since we are on spring break, this isn't an issue. However, there can be no activities or practices taking place during this time, Custodial staff will focus on disinfecting the schools during this time. The BOE office will be closed for the week of March 16th. As this situation changes, I will attempt to keep you in the loop.
