Student Meal Update
We will continue to offer a healthy breakfast and lunch to students during the school day, but have returned to the previous system of collecting applications for households that wish to apply for free or reduced-price lunches. We still offer all students one free breakfast per day regardless of their family’s economic status. We will charge for additional breakfasts and all lunch servings. You may find additional information regarding the update here.
Parents who believe their child would qualify for free/reduced lunches are asked to fill out the proper paperwork through LINQ Connect or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Access to Social Services (COMPASS). Your child will still receive free breakfast regardless of paperwork status. You may find links to those pages at https://www.wssd.k12.pa.us/FreeandReducedMeals.aspx.
Additionally, the District is partnering with a new vendor, Aramark Nutrition, for school meals. Menu information is still being finalized. Please visit: https://www.wssd.k12.pa.us/menus.aspx for updated menu options.
Carpool Dismissal Form
Below you will see our Carpool Dismissal Form. If you plan on picking up or having your child picked up from school, please stop by our office and pick this form up, fill it out and return it.

Substitute Positions
Character Strong
This month our focus is respect. Respect is seeing value in all people and things and treating them with care. We will be focused on discussing respect this month, so we encourage families to discuss this topic at home this month as well!
