Dear Parents and Families,
Willis Unified School School District asks parents and families of the District to complete the Education Benefit Form. The California Department of Education (CDE) uses the Education Benefit Form to calculate supplemental funding for our schools which is built into the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). Supplemental funding in the LCAP is used to improve and enhance services to your student, including but not limited to: Student Chromebooks, Tutoring, Advanced Placement Test Fees, additional Counseling services, Career Technical Education programs, and other programs designed to assist students in becoming College Ready and Career Prepared.
It is extremely important that you complete this form online at https://willitsunified.rocketscanapps.com/
Every eligible form that is not submitted means lost resources for our students.
All information provided is completely confidential and will not be shared or used for any other purpose. Thank you!!

Hello Parents.
There were NO emergencies on or near any of our campuses today. We received word from Willits Police Department that they received a call of shots fired near a school. This report was anonymous and provided no details as to the school site. Out of an abundance of caution, the WPD patrolled each school to ensure student safety. Thank you, Superintendent Aldridge
