Update on Oct. 2, 2020: Attention Springboro bus riders
Beginning next week (10/5/20), Springboro will run a bus at the end of the career center day so that you do not have to leave for Springboro's early dismissal. The shuttle bus will leave WCCC at 2:07, and return to Springboro HS. There will be no additional transportation, so you must arrange a way home from there. You will be allowed to hang out in the SHS Commons area until 2:30 while you wait for your ride. Please make arrangements accordingly.
As always, let us know if you have any questions!
Policy on Quarantine, Return Announced
We have officially started the 2020-21 high school year. We appreciate all of our students and staff following guidelines closely and doing all they can to keep one another safe.
While we hope it doesn't happen, we recognize that we may indeed eventually have a case of COVID 19 in our district. As always, we want to be transparent and communicate with our students, staff, and families quickly and clearly.
See link at right for full details, but in summary, we want everyone to understand a few key things.
- The Health Department, (not WCCC), manages the following:
Contract tracing (with the help of our staff).
Determining any person(s) "exposed" that needs to be quarantined.
Communicating with COVID 19 positive person, and those that are considered exposed.
Setting the guidelines for safe return to school/work.
The privacy of students/staff is our priority. Anyone that is considered "exposed" will be contacted. So if we have a case and your student is not contacted by the WCHD, consider no news, good news.
These are unique times and there are no perfect solutions or answers. We want families to know that we are trying to do the best we can to provide students a safe environment while they prepare for their future in the career field they love! If you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can call or email us at [email protected]
High School Students and Parents:
Parents and students, we have major steps that must be taken now concerning student forms and free and reduced lunch applications.If your family qualifies for free and reduced lunch and breakfast, you must return their free and reduced lunch form to their career tech teacher as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Students who want to buy lunch or breakfast on Main Campus must have a Payforit account (payforit.net) and add money to it prior to making a purchase. Main Campus students may also pay the lunch staff directly with a check or cash but change cannot be provided. Students on the Greentree Campus have different options temporarily, contact [email protected] for details if needed.If you have not yet, it is very important that you complete the student online forms using One View located at wccc.esvportal.com. Students will be unable to visit worksites with their labs and will have to remain on campus if these forms are not completed. Likewise, students will be unable to purchase a parking permit if these forms have not been completed. In the near future, students will need to bring in the required documentation (license, registration, proof of insurance, $10) for their parking permit or will not be able to park on campus. Please email [email protected] with questions. High School Transportation Info
By law, transportation to and from WCCC is provided by each student’s partner district. Students may choose to drive to campus on their assigned day. Open enrolled students, who are not enrolled at one of WCCC’s partner districts, must provide their own transportation. Please check with your individual school district to understand their transportation plan for WCCC students. Click HERE for a list of bus garage numbers.
Since transportation is provided by the partner school, please follow their individual guidelines relating to social distancing and wearing a face mask/covering when riding the school bus to/from WCCC. Once on WCCC’s campus, a mask will be required.
Adult Education Open Protocols
Adult Education is open with lab instruction. The WCCC Authorized Testing Center is also open. The Aspire Office is operating vitrually for the summer. See the Aspire webpage for more info. WCCC’s prime consideration is for student safety and health during this attempt at returning students to their labs for this invaluable on-site hands-on training.
See CARES Act information at right.
In an effort to comply with governmental mandates, the following safety protocols are in place for Adult Education:
* Upon arrival, a non-contact thermometer will be used to monitor each student’s core body temperature before access to the building will be granted
* Building access will only be granted to students and staff members who have a core body temperature of less than 99.7°F
* Daily inquiries will be made related to symptoms consistent with Covid-19 infection
* Daily inquires will be made related to a student’s ingestion of medications which might reduce or disguise an elevated body temperature
* Staff and students will be required to wear masks which cover both mouth and nose for the entire duration of their time within the WCCC buildings
* Disinfection of your classroom will occur prior and after each class.
* All instruction will take place within the confines of the respective lab area.
* All campus common areas including the commons, break-rooms and vending machines will be off-limits to students
* Students will not be permitted to socially interact with students from other classes
* After a student enters campus property, they will be instructed not to leave the property for food or other reasons until the conclusion of their class
* If a student leaves the campus property for any reason before being dismissed or at the conclusion of the class, they will not be readmitted to the building on the same day
