PARENT SUPPORT CIRCLE
Thursday, Jan. 21st 6:30 pm-7:45 pm
As a result of COVID-19, adults with school-aged children have been asked to provide a great deal of support to students. A common request from parents is to increase their support network during this
challenging time.
A support circle is a safe environment in which parents can talk about the stress and worries of the current pandemic situation with other parents. Trained facilitators and periodic guest speakers lead a
conversation about relevant topics.
How Do I Join?
Registration for the circle is very important before you attend. You will be given information about the process, what to expect if you join, and rules about privacy. Please call 218-390-1707 or 218-380-4923
to start the registration process.

Attention all winter MLWR athletes:
Winter sports are a go! The governor has allowed practices to begin on Monday, January 4th. Due to our current learning model, only VARSITY Hockey & Basketball teams will begin practices on the 4th. We are hopeful games will begin January 14th. If both ML and WR shift into a hybrid model of learning, lower level teams may begin to practice/have competitions. This will be announced when it occurs. Remember, our biggest priority is keeping our kids healthy and protecting a varsity season! Please reach out to coaches or ADs with any questions you may have. #MLWRRebels
Starting Jan 4, Osprey Wilds will be opening its doors as an Academic Support Center for students in 6-12th grade. Students can enjoy their own workspace to attend their virtual classes and complete schoolwork. Academic coaches will be there for support and to lead small activities throughout the day. Space is very limited to ensure all COVID-19 precautions and regulations are in place. Learn more at https://buff.ly/37a0k9m

Our Meal Crew has been hard at work! We've been delivering over 500 meals to our students each day. A few things have changed as our numbers have grown. We are now making daily deliveries and asking any new families that sign up to please wait for the following Monday for meal delivery to begin. Meals are always available to pick up at school, just let us know. All meals continue to be free of charge. For more information please contact Tara at tprachar@isd577.org. #StrongerTogether #WeRWillow
As we near Thanksgiving, we simply can't thank our families enough for their support. We appreciate your kindness, patience and grace as we continue to move through this school year. As one of our crews was out delivering homework and meals earlier this week, they came upon this custom drop box creation. It gave us a good chuckle and we wanted to share. #StrongerTogether #WeRWillow

As our local COVID-19 numbers continue to rise, we encourage our community to review the symptom list and processes on the Decision Tree found here https://5il.co/kyht
***Only a lab can verify between cold, flu or COVID.*** If you have symptoms, please get tested and keep your household home until the results are in.
We want to stay in school as long as possible. Please be mindful and help do your part. We're all in this together. #WeRWillow
