Welcome Back, Warriors! We are excited to begin another school year together! Because Waubonsie Valley is undergoing major renovations, some routines, entrances, pathways, and student-support structures will look different this year. Throughout the first week, we will help students become familiar with these changes and prepare for a successful year. Please review the daily focus and preparation tips below.
Remember: Be patient, plan ahead, and ask for help when you need it. We are all navigating these changes together.

School transportation will follow standard practices with morning pick up and afternoon drop offs. There will be no mid-day bus transportation. Upperclassmen who take the morning bus transportation will need to stay in the aux gym until lunch at 10:05a.m. Food service will be provided for breakfast and lunch. |
