WUSD December 2021 Newsletter
Event sponsored by Mendocino County Office of Education.
Our number one priority in WUSD is student safety. We have recently had an increase in COVID cases at Willits High School. Most of these cases are linked to specific out of school activities. Today, we tested all staff and 1/4 of students from many different classes at WHS. No one was positive. We will continue to monitor the situation and offer testing to any student who requests it (with parent permission).
Please preregister your child for the optional Binax Now COVID testing
here => https://my.primary.health/r/willitsunifiedschools?registration_type=student
By preregistering a head of time it will help speed up the testing process.
If you have any question, please contact the district office at 707-459-5314
Have a wonderful weekend!
Good Morning! Please disregard the previous notification regarding the Binax Now Covid testing registration. The previous URL link is not working correctly. Once the link to the registration page is back up a new notification will be sent out. Thank you!
