					<description><![CDATA[Hello WOLCS Family,


The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory which is in effect from 11 p.m. on Wednesday, February 5 to 10 a.m. Thursday, February 6, 2025. The Warning is for a mix of snow, sleet and ice accumulations which can cause slippery roads and hazardous conditions. 


Based on this forecast from the National Weather Service, out of an abundance of caution and in order to ensure the safety of our entire school community, including our valued staff members who commute from various counties across the region, WOLCS will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, February 6, 2025.


Please Stay Safe❣️!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As many of you know the summer provides a much needed break from the rigors of school. However, research suggests that students can lose many of the skills acquired during the school year over the summer break if they do not continue to work on mastering these skills. In order to support continued learning and reduce summer learning loss, the literacy and math departments have provided assignments in both of these areas. For literacy students will continue to log steps for the 100 book challenge, complete a project related to one book, and write a summary of that book.  For math, students will create a math dictionary to serve as a resource throughout the 2016-2017 school year.  ***Both of these assignments are due the first week of school and will count of a grade.*** All children received a packet at the end of the school year with complete directions, if you are missing the packet it is available via the link below.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Protecting Pennsylvania’s children from abuse and neglect is a shared responsibility. It requires collaboration from the formal child protective services system, community partners and our citizens to provide local safety nets for children and families that are facing challenges within our communities and neighborhoods.  
 
Recently, 24 pieces of legislation were enacted, changing how Pennsylvania responds to child abuse. These changes significantly impact the ability for volunteers, parents, and guardians who want to participate in school activities.  As a school we need every person interested in working with our children to secure their background clearances.
