We apologize for the late notice but just received updated data from ACHI that 97% of school districts in the state are red, purple, or the new color pink for COVID cases. The data usually comes out on Thursday, but they updated the link earlier due to the spread of cases. We have gone from yellow to purple in just 3 days. We will be back under a mask mandate for the remainder of this week. Please check with the offices if you need a mask for today.

WCC is in the Yellow Zone this week so masks are optional, However, we are aware of several new cases this weekend, so we are highly recommending masks for your protection.
Parents: The Arkansas Department of Health has released new guidelines for positive COVID cases and quarantines for schools. These guidelines align with CDC guidelines nationwide. Positive cases will be isolated for 5 days and then may return to school if they are not experiencing symptoms and are fever free for 24 hours. They then will be required to wear a mask for the remaining 5 days of their isolation. Quarantines will work in a similar fashion with the 5 days quarantined followed by 5 days of wearing a mask upon return. Please contact your building principal if you have further questions.
Friday, Jan. 7th’s basketball away games against Shirley have been cancelled.
