What does sharing outdoor spaces look like at WHWS?
When more than one class is outdoors in a section of the playground (woodchips, hardcourt, forest, upper playground or garden area):
- Classes will refrain from intermingling (i.e. playing games together).
- We recognize that there may be cases when it is pedagogically important for more than one class to engage in an activity together. In such cases, these activities will first be considered by Health and Safety, and communicated to parents of the classes involved.
- All safety mandates must still be followed.
What is the guest policy at WHWS?
The WHWS campus is currently closed to visitors unless previously approved. If there is a guest who would like to visit the WHWS campus, they must be approved by the Pedagogical and Health and Safety Committees first. Then, the parents of that class will receive an email in advance. The guest must review our health and safety protocols, fill out our Guest Attestation Form and go through screening upon arrival.
Guests are expected to follow all of the health and safety protocols and have the responsibility to communicate with the health and safety committee if they experience symptoms associated with COVID-19 and/or test positive for COVID-19 within a 48-hour time frame of leaving the school.
Mask Washing Reminder
Please remember to wash masks after each school day or rotate them out. If this is not an option, we have extra masks available in all of the classrooms and upon arrival at the screening station.
Where can I find masks that are comfortable and fit properly for my child?
