A Message about COVID-19

Dear WISD Families,

Though we are apart right now for our health and safety, Weatherford ISD continues to support each other as a community, and right now we must work together to fight COVID-19. In order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we will be providing you with information through emails and social media posts over the next two weeks to share vitally important guidance.

This guidance is based on what scientists know about how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and it is our hope that you will do what you can to follow these practices and share them with your friends and family.

Thank you for all you are doing to educate your children at home and all the efforts you’re making to keep your family healthy and safe. We know this is a difficult time. If we stand apart as a community during this stretch and continue following the public health practices we will be sharing over the coming days, we will be back together soon.

Stay well!
