Whitewater Unified School District will be canceling all afterschool activities due to a winter storm with quickly accumulating snow beginning at 4:00 pm. There are a number of after-school activities planned today to celebrate with our students. Your principals will send out specifics about their plans to reschedule.
I hope that you get to celebrate Valentine's Day at home, safely! See you next week!

Dear WUSD families,
Due to heavy snow expected mid-day into the evening tomorrow, complicating our afternoon routes/commutes home, we will be closing school on Wednesday February 12, 2025. If possible, I always prefer to make snow calls as soon as possible to give families time to plan. Based on tomorrow’s forecast, I do not expect there to be much snow in the AM.
All schools and all associated activities for tomorrow, February 12, 2025 will be cancelled.
Be safe, and hopefully, everything will be cleared up for Thursday.
Whitewater Unified School District will be operating on a 2-hour delay due to slick and icy road conditions this morning.
There will be no AM 4K.
PM 4K will operate as usual.
4K at Lakeview will follow the 2-hour delay.
Whitewater Unified School District will be closed on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, due to an Extreme Cold Warning in effect (-30 or below) that will impact our district area.
All before and after-school athletics and activities for Tuesday will be canceled.
Transportation to and from Lakeland will also be canceled for tomorrow.
Please stay warm and safe tomorrow.
Dr. Caroline Pate-Hefty
Superintendent

Adelante Club members had the opportunity April 17, to get a tour of Blackhawk Technical College and watch the Sky Carps play at the ABC Supply Stadium! Adelante members are Latino students who have been selected due to their merit and character. At BlackHawk, students were able to talk to Professors and explore the Surgical, Mechanic, and Firefighting fields, along with much more! Students were able to get a glimpse into the world of higher education! In speaking of careers, it was highlighted how wonderful it is to be bilingual and for students to be proud of both their languages! At the stadium, students were able to sit right behind first base, and see Sky Carp players play! It was truly exciting for students to see their heritage represented as the majority of players are Latino on the team! It was heartwarming seeing kids talk to players in Spanish and laughing together! Through this opportunity, students were able to see that dreams do come true and can truly envision themselves following their passions and seeing themselves represented! A special thank you to both Blackhawk and Sky Carps for giving our Adelante students this opportunity! Always moving forward to reach our dreams!
Our Adelante Club members truly represented Whitewater excellently! We are proud of our Whippets and learners!
Pink Shirt Day was started in 2007 by two high school students in Nova Scotia. When a fellow classmate wore a pink shirt to school and was bullied for it, two boys took action and took a stand against the bullies. They distributed pink shirts to their classmates, and all wore them to school the next day in solidarity. International Day of Pink is a day to raise awareness of the harmful impacts of bullying and promote compassion, kindness, and inclusivity. In honor of Pink Shirt Day, please join the student council in wearing pink. Once again we will have the office staff judge during the First hour for the students dressed with the most enthusiasm.
WMS - Whitewater Middle School students were very excited about the solar eclipse. There were some creative ideas to see the eclipse.
