Welcome to Wyoming Area School District

Universal Dibels Academic Screening (K-3)

Universal Dibels Academic screening for individual K-3 students is being scheduled for the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. The data results from the screening of the students will be beneficial for classroom teachers in meeting the educational needs of the students they are teaching virtually. Parents will be contacted via phone to schedule an appointment time to bring their child to the Wyoming Area Kindergarten Center (formerly the JFK Elementary School) to be screened by the district's Reading Specialists. The screening process will take approximately 20 minutes. Classroom teachers in grades K-3 will be informed when your child is being screened, so that they do not mark your child as being absent. All CDC Guidelines are in place for a safe and effective screening environment. Masks will be required. All sanitary protocols will be done before and after each student is screened. Individual protective screens purchased by the district will separate the screener from each individual student.

Recently the district's Title 1 staff screened all new Kindergarten students entering the district following the same above guidelines and it went very well.

Google Classroom Update

School begins on Tuesday, September 8th. From September 8th through September 11th, our students will be completing review. The review will be posted on Google Classroom. Beginning September 14th, our teachers will begin live streaming and interaction with our students. The district is waiting delivery of the webcams that our teachers will use to live stream. Live streamed lessons will also be recorded for students who need to reference them.

Chromebook Distribution 20-21

Chromebooks that were already used in the district have been cleaned, reset, and distributed to the elementary buildings starting with the Kindergarten Center. The district ordered a large quantity of devices scheduled to arrive over the next week. Our Title 1 Coordinator has generously contributed a large quantity of new Chromebooks that will be distributed to students placed in the Title 1 Reading program in primarily grades K-3. These devices have arrived and they are scheduled to be delivered to the Kindergarten and Primary Centers on Monday, 8-31-20.

Secondary Center Chromebook Distribution Info (9-1-20)

Chromebooks will be picked up at the building level and messages will be sent as devices are prepared and ready to distribute. From the previous closures, the district loaned out approximately 400+ Chromebooks and they were tracked by household as they were distributed and returned. A large quantity of these devices have still not been returned and now they are currently disabled. If you still have one of these issued Chromebooks, they need to be returned immediately to the Secondary Center main office.

A loaner agreement form and preliminary instructional guide will be provided. You do not need to print out the documents linked below. Please preview the the following documents that will be provided with each Chromebook. If you have any questions or Google account login issues, you may contact your student(s) building or email techsupport@wyomingarea.org.
