COVID - 19 Update March 19, 2020

Actualización de COVID-19 19 de marzo de 2020
Por favor ver más abajo

We have several updates for you today. Please see information below regarding food distribution and student medication pick up that will start Monday, March 23. Educational updates will roll out this weekend along with a video message from Superintendent A. Russell Hughes.

Food Service

Starting Monday, March 23, 2020, five school sites will begin to provide food for children ages 1 to 18.

* Paxton

* Mossy Head School

* Maude Saunders Elementary

* Walton Middle School

* Freeport High School

These five sites will provide a grab and go meal in the school’s car rider line. You do not have to live in the school zone to receive food at the above sites. If possible, if your school is not a site, please visit the site nearest to you. For example, if your child attends Dune Lakes Elementary, a non-distribution site, you may pick up a meal at Freeport High School, a distribution site. Children must be present in the car to receive a free meal.

School sites have been chosen based on specific criteria as put forth by the Florida Department of Agriculture. We may open additional sites as we can.

The schedule for food pick up at the five sites above are as follows:

* Monday, March 23 from 11:00 a.m.– 1:00 p.m. – lunch provided

* Tuesday, March 24 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. – lunch provided and next day’s breakfast

* Wednesday, March 25 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. – lunch provided and next day’s breakfast

* Thursday, March 26 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. – lunch provided and next day’s breakfast

* Friday, March 27 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. – lunch provided and next day’s breakfast

Starting Wednesday, March 25th, food distribution will also begin via bus transportation. Over 95 bus stops will be put into place throughout the Walton County School District from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and look similar to our summer routes. Buses will spend 10 minutes at each stop for parents to receive breakfast and lunch at the bus stop instead of visiting school sites. School sites will also remain open as well. More information about your area’s routes are to come.

As we provide meals, please know that we are taking health and safety protocols seriously. All individuals preparing and delivering meals will follow CDC guidelines.

Medication

If your child has medication at school that you need at home, you can pick up medication from the school’s nurse starting Monday, March 23 through Friday, March 27 from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Medication will only be released to a student’s parent.

All school campuses will be staffed with a small team on Monday, March 23. Parents may enter the school office based on CDC guidelines regarding gatherings of 10 people or less. If you are sick, please call your school instead of visiting.

The Walton County School District does have an online system to answer any of your COVID-19/School Closure related questions. Please click on the “Contact Us” tab on the right side of our website to submit a question or concern. District staff is available to answer questions over Spring Break. Thank you for your continued support and understanding in this time of uncertainty. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and patience.

Actualización de COVID-19
19 de marzo de 2020
Tenemos varias actualizaciones para usted hoy. Consulte la información a continuación sobre la distribución de alimentos y la recolección de medicamentos para estudiantes que comenzará el lunes 23 de marzo.
Las actualizaciones educativas se implementarán este fin de semana junto con un mensaje en video del Superintendente A. Russell Hughes.
-Servicio de comida:
A partir del día lunes 23 de marzo de 2020, cinco sitios escolares comenzarán a proporcionar alimentos a niños de 1 a 18 años.
* Paxton
* Escuela Mossy Head
* Maude Saunders
* Walton Middle School
* Escuela secundaria de Freeport
Estos cinco sitios proporcionarán una comida para llevar que será recogida en la fila de automóviles de la escuela. No tiene que vivir en la zona escolar para recibir alimentos en los sitios mencionados. Si la escuela de su hijo/a no es uno de los sitios mencionados, visite el sitio más cercano a usted. Por ejemplo, si su hijo/a asiste a Dune Lakes Elementary, un sitio sin distribución, puede recoger las comidas en Freeport High School, uno de los sitios de distribución. Los niños deben estar presentes en el automóvil para recibir las comidas gratuitas.
Los sitios escolares han sido elegidos en base a criterios específicos establecidos por el Departamento de Agricultura de Florida. Podremos abrir sitios adicionales sujeto a disponibilidad.
El horario para la recolección de alimentos en los cinco sitios anteriores es el siguiente:
* Lunes 23 de marzo de 11:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. - almuerzo proporcionado
* Martes 24 de marzo de 9:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. - almuerzo proporcionado y desayuno del día siguiente
* Miércoles 25 de marzo de 9:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. - almuerzo proporcionado y desayuno del día siguiente
* Jueves 26 de marzo de 9:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. - almuerzo proporcionado y desayuno del día siguiente
* Viernes 27 de marzo de 9:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. - almuerzo proporcionado y desayuno del día siguiente
A partir del miércoles 25 de marzo, la distribución de alimentos también comenzará a través de los autobuses escolares. Se habilitarán más de 95 paradas de autobús en todo el Distrito Escolar del Condado de Walton de 9:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. similares a nuestras rutas de verano. Los autobuses se estacionarán 10 minutos en cada parada para que los padres reciban el desayuno y el almuerzo en la parada del autobús en lugar de visitar los sitios escolares. Los sitios escolares también permanecerán abiertos. Enviaremos más información sobre las rutas de su área muy pronto.
A medida que proporcionamos comidas, sepa que estamos tomando en serio los protocolos de salud y seguridad.
Todas las personas que preparan y entregan comidas seguirán las pautas del CDC.
Medicamentos:
Si su hijo/a tiene medicamentos en la escuela que necesita en su casa, puede recogerlos de la enfermera de la escuela a partir del lunes 23 de marzo hasta el viernes 27 de marzo de 8:00 a.m. a 12:00 p.m. Los medicamentos solo se entregarán a los padres del estudiante.
Todos los sitios escolares contarán con un pequeño equipo el día lunes 23 de marzo. Los padres pueden ingresar a la oficina de la escuela según las pautas de los CDC con respecto a reuniones de 10 personas o menos. Si está enfermo, llame a su escuela en lugar de visitarla.
El Distrito Escolar del Condado de Walton tiene un sistema por internet para responder cualquiera de sus preguntas relacionadas con el Cierre de la Escuela / COVID-19. Haga clic en la pestaña "Contáctenos" en el lado derecho de nuestro sitio de internet para enviar una pregunta o inquietud. El personal del distrito está disponible para responder preguntas durante las vacaciones de primavera.
Gracias por su continuo apoyo y comprensión en este momento de incertidumbre.
Agradecemos la flexibilidad y la paciencia de todos.

WCSD Food Distribution Plan Update - 4-5-2020

Parents, we want to ease your mind regarding food. Governor DeSantis issued a new executive order which defines essential services during our COVID-19 Emergency. One of those essential services is food distribution in which the Walton County School District is providing for our community during this pandemic.

Our revised food distribution plan will focus on a single week day distribution - Tuesdays.

On Tuesdays, parents will be provided with 10 meals per child (five breakfasts and five lunches). Our five food distribution sites will remain the same (Paxton, Mossy Head, Maude Saunders Elementary, Walton Middle, and Freeport High School); however, transportation routes will adjust slightly due to the larger distributions (please see the attached list).

Our revised plan will begin April 7th and run every Tuesday for the month of April (April 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th). On Tuesdays, food distribution sites will stay open longer, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm , to accommodate the larger amounts of food being disbursed.

In addition to providing food, education is also an essential service and K-12 schools in Florida will continue to facilitate distance learning. Walton County Schools will continue to provide virtual education for your children through the At-Home Learning Calendars provided on your school’s website.

Although our school campuses will minimize interactions to help slow the spread of COVID-19, our school leaders, teachers, and other support staff are essential workers and are able to be a resource for you and your family. Please continue to call or submit online questions to your child’s school if you need information about food, technology help, computer devices, paper portfolios, and more. We are here to help and continuing your child’s education is important to us.
