FOOD SERVICES UPDATE
The Wyoming Area School District will be providing grab and go lunches for students starting on Wednesday, March 18th. Lunches will be available in the Secondary Center Cafeteria, please enter through the rear of the building for pick up. Lunches will be available on weekdays from 11:30 am- 12:30 pm. All students are eligible, but we are asking families to provide the names and grade of students when picking up lunches.
NEW STUDENT RESOURCES WEBSITE FROM WASD
The district created a new website called STUDENT RESOURCES. This will provide supplemental websites and information available to students and parents during the closure. We informed faculty that it was non-mandatory to provide take home or supplemental materials so this website section was created for students to continue their education through FREE resources available beyond what the district is already offering.
Please take the time to navigate through the website department and check back for periodic updates. There are several outside providers extending FREE services which normally require a subscription and as we are updated, we will continue to post these to the website.

Every Student Succeeds Act
Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, states are required to designate schools for support and improvement based on both school wide (Comprehensive Support and Improvement) and student group (Additional Targeted Support and Improvement) performance on a range of academic and student success measures. Wyoming Area Secondary Center is one of approximately 200 schools statewide designated for Additional Targeted Support and Improvement status. This designation is based on student data suggesting the need to prioritize additional supports for our Students with Disabilities group in the following areas: academic proficiency on state assessments, academic growth, and attendance rate. This designation will provide opportunities for our school district to partner with stakeholders to identify and focus on the continuous improvement of instruction for all our students K-12.
