Willits Unified School District

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!!

We invite you to attend our Health Advisory Committee Meeting that takes place every 3rd Wednesday, 3:30pm-4:30pm at the District Office Conference Room. Today's meeting will be at WHS Cafeteria. Attend this meeting to help update the WUSD Wellness policy. This is your opportunity to implement or update healthier practices (physical activity, healthy eating, cultural activities, mental health, etc) for our youth through the school's wellness policy.

All schools are open today, please drive careful.

Due to the Willits fire, we will cancel the Brookside Back to School Night for tonight and will be rescheduling it. We are doing this out of consideration for those who are making emergency plans for their families tonight, and our hearts and thoughts are with you. We will let you know the plans for rescheduling once they are complete. Thank you.

BGMS Book Fair will be here September 19th through the 23rd. Don't forget to save the date and we can't wait to see you there.

Enjoy your Summer, attached is next years district calendar.
